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

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

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

Definitely payback time!!

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

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

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

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.

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

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!

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

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!!

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

I remember all to well......TIME TO BRING THE WOOD !!!!

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

yup i remember that garbage. lets not forget the vikings were the team that beat us in 2000 after we beat the rams.....and for a bonus, i remember there was a culpepper two point conversion years back that knocked us out of the playoffs when we were on a hot streak.

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

Yep they wont own us this time...i feel real good about our team now..were healthy!!!

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

Oh yeah! 1987, I wanted to throw the TV!! 2000, after shocking the world by beating the Rams for our first-ever playoff win, we got torched by Randy Moss!! 2010 against Favre & Co? Over Buddy D's dead body!! I WANT TO SEE THAT LOMBARDI IN THE 504 AND FAVRE RUNNING WINN-DIXIE WITH KURT WARNER!!

THAT'S ALL I GONNA SAY AND I'MMA LEAVE IT AT THAT!!

It's time to exorcise those purple clad demons from playoffs past.

Think we could get the Pope to pop over and bless the Dome for us, like JP II did in 1987? ;)

Welcome 21hilliard ..like that screen name

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

Thanks! Hilliard has long been one of my favorite players. Wish he'd have had a longer career.

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

1987 you have got to be kidding! It seems like it was just a few years ago.

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

Why not ... Benedict speaks German, though.

Oh yeah, I know what they did back in '87! It "AINT" over til this fat lady drops!!

Re: 23 year grudge, time for payback
 

The Vikings have stood between us a few times and we bowed down. We need this. Play angry. Play with hunger.
