Back when the Vikes had a home field advantage. Colder, the better!

Mind boggling to think Minnesota played in 4 of the first 11 Super Bowls and have not been back since.

And that Bud Grant has an NBA championship ring as a player with the Minneapolis Lakers in 1950.

Minn/ATL game was a crusher. Gary Anderson hadn't missed a FG all year long, but he missed that one.

Vikings had a great team. Definitely COULD HAVE beaten Denver that year.

When you say "hunted"...you mean "hunting for trim"? Or hunting for deer?

Did Bud have any good stories? Guy always looked so stone-faced when he was coaching.

Snow goose hunts.

Always good stories. His hunting stories were best.
