began
as
the
team
entered
via
the
Viking
ship.
"Show
Your
Horns"
is the
team motto.
Fans sitting ahead of us followed suit.
The Viking gjallarhorn blew again and again for plays like this one ----
the team's third of four game touchdowns as well as one field goal.
Flag flyers (below), a drum corp, kid suiting-up races, trivia games for home-on-leave military members, "Angie" of the Game drawing, junior high football exhibitions and many more activities filled any gap time between plays.
As novice attenders, we learned coming to a Vikings game compares to a multi-ring circus show.
Thanks to an older couple (from our church) who sat next to me, I was able to use their binoculars
to spot the Vikings' new Star of the Show.
They told me the team's starters were on the sidelines
dressed in gray t-shirts and black pants. She advised, "Look for the one with the white hat. We believe that's him!"
And so I caught this glimpse of the Vikings latest "piece of the puzzle" -- much-sought-after, come-out-of-retirement-again -- quarterback
BRETT FARVE!
May I now Blow the Horn and bid: "Hello" to all my Packers-fan friends!
Uffda...of the true Norwegian sort.
