    Fans that never had much reason to hope wouldn't understand.

    I was at prime fan age in the 70s, and let me tell you it hurt to have such high hopes for the Vikes so many years only to lose the big one.

    Like so many Minnesotans, it turned me into a life-long loser.

      That's a good point. I mean, see: Cubs fans.

      That's why that WS win was so huge. And the Bartmann loss was so depressing.
      Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

        Charlie would have found it much less agonizing had Lucy never teed the ball up for him.

          Brent hasn't been a life-long fan of anything.

            And that hope means that you tears of pain are all to yourself. That's my point. Cry all you want, feel sorry for yourself all you want. You do it by yourself- nobody else feels bad for you or your team. Especially those of us fans who haven't come close to having hope.

                            Vikings? Usurped by the Bills
                            North Stars? If ever usurped by the Devils
