  • You know Todd if I didn't know better I'd think you were not a Packer fan or maybe even better; you are a fan of two teams, one is the Vickings, and the other is who ever plays the Packers. Am I right or wrong here? What is the series record between the two teams?

    Cheers :cool: Hondo

  • I am not sure what the series record is but I believe its close to .500 Maybe in favor of the Packers alittle.

    I have never really been a Packer hater, just a Vikngs fan. But there is a rivalry that gets heated once in awhile. I just don't get caught up in it, well maybe for some light hearted jabbing, that's it. So I guess you can say I don't root for them.

  • Todd,

    That's alright. Here in my state we live for college football. NFL is in second here. And it is Auburn/Alabama rivalry. And yes we have two favorite teams here. In my case it is Auburn and who ever plays Alabama.

    As for the NFL, there is not much here, well it has been moving south with the additions of Tennessee, Jacksonville, Tampa Bay and Carolina. So we are adapting to the merging of NFL, but here in Alabama we are still college crazy. If the NFL expands to Alabama, say Birmingham, then we might be more incline to the NFL.

    I know I didn't mention Atlanta, Miami, Houston and Dallas, but they have been a fixture here for a long time. And they have place in history.

    Educate me with the Vikings tradition.

    Cheers :cool:

    They oughta be - he was one hell of a coach. If I remember correctly, he was about the only coach in America that my Sooners never beat at one time or another.

  • Just saw the polls (Coaches poll), and gt your Georgia Bulldogs are NUMERAL UNO! This is a preseason, but watch out dawgs here comes the gators, tigers, vols, etc. They may have something to say.

  • the Bear could never beat the Irish!



    Not too many people do, Mike. They're the only team in America that has more national championships than the Sooners. They're also the team that brought to an end OU's still-standing national record of 47 consecutive wins. In 1957 I think it was. Either '56 or '57.

  • I bet you have a looping tape of the OU games installed in that thing!:stunned:You are a sick man, Jim! :ohmy::yeaahh::hyper:

    That's why we play the game. I like this schedule. Let's me know just what kind of a team we have. My opinion, any team in the SEC has one heck of a scedule. We also have Arizona State this year as well and they certainly were no pushovers last year. According to some of the things I have heard, we're not even supposed to win the SEC this year. All the "experts" are picking Florida to win it all this year. Either way, let's get it on!!!!!!

    Stay thirsty my friends.

  • This gives a whole new meaning to the phrase "defensive struggle".

    During my 60 plus years of following football, I've never before heard of a game with a score like this - one field goal and one safety. Amazing!

    It looks like the score card from their last baseball meeting, not football. If Mississippi St could score points with Crooms defense they would be very dangerous.

    I remarked to my wife last night that the score sounded like they were playing baseball.

  • Last night's game between the Cowboys and Eagles was a very exciting one. The lead kept changing hands throughout the night, but the Cowboys won out! If Philadelphia had had a few more minutes on the clock, they would have regained the lead.
    When they face each other again in December, that should be another shootout!
