23 year grudge, time for payback
 

1987, first playoff birth ever. Minnesota comes into the dome and absolutely destroys us. I cried like a baby.

Time for payback, continue to bring the wood.

This says it all

I was 14 years old, and remember crying too! I hated the Vikings from then on...

Definitely payback time!!

damn is that why i grew up hating the vikings? i forgot why i hated them lol

That was the strike season, right? Yeah that was one of my first memories as a saints fan! It was a bad one

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

For me also, that was probably my first major disappointment as a Saints fan...not the last of course. It wasn't just the loss, but the total domination that hurt.

I've always hated the Vikings. Next week will be no different.

Growing up in South Dakota, I dealt with Denver and Minnesota fans making fun of me for being a Saints fan. They would always ask me, "Why would you root for the Saints? Why don't you root for a REAL team?"

If (correction: WHEN) we beat the Queens next week, I will proudly boast, "BECAUSE MY TEAM WHOOPED YOUR ASS IN THE NFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME!! THAT'S WHY I'M A SAINTS FAN!"

Who Dat!

Wow - Some of you are young. Your first memory is the Viks kicking our ass (what was it 44 to 10?)?

I did not cry BUT I was pissed & I cannot wait to see us pay back in kind next week!!
