Brought to you by Mr. Cheer or Die and the Vikes Geek, welcome to theViking Underground Podcast Eleven
This podcast is a game day discussion with Class of 2001 Visa Hall of Fans member and Tampa Bay Bucs fan Keith“Big Nasty” Kunzig. Listen in as we discuss the upcoming game between the Vikes and Bucs...the season opener!
Note: There were some thunder storms in the area as the podcast was being recorded so I apologize for some of the audio quality.
Game Day Moblog
Come back Sunday for a special moblog edition of the Viking Underground. Follow along I go to the game and provide you instant photo messages on my newest addition to the Viking Underground...moblogging!
Moblog is a blend of the words mobile and weblog. A mobile weblog, or moblog, consists of content posted to the Internet from a mobile or portable device, such as a cellular phone or PDA. Moblogs generally involve technology which allows publishing from a mobile device.
I'll be posting photo and text messages via cell phone and instantly uploading them as new moblog entries at the Viking Underground Moblog site. If everything works as it should, that is! Once I get down into the depths of the Dome I can sometimes lose reception. But certainly I will be posting photos from the Plaza. Hope to see you then!
Oh, and you might want to get there a biiiiiiiiit earlier than normal.
McCombs Can't Let Go
In Friday's Star Tribune on page A8 of the main section was a quarter page ad from the previous owner of the Vikings:
I'm not sure what to think of this but my first thoughts were 1) the old man can't let go of the team, 2) if the team does well Red will be there to take credit for it, and 3) he was too cheap to take out a full page ad. Your thoughts? Leave a Comment below.

Posted by: Cliff at September 9, 2005 09:14 AMCliff: I probably am being too hard on Red (he's given me enough reasons). I just hope that we don't see Red down on the field wearing that big ol' fur coat at any point this season!

Yes, when I saw that section in the Strib I too thought the old man can't let go. After all the average NFL team goes for about 800 Mil, and he sold the team for much cheaper than that.
Posted by: Pete at September 9, 2005 11:19 AMHey COD! I just wanted to tell you that I'll be at the game this Sunday too (thanks to the generosity of Curt in Grand Forks who won the tickets). Anyway, I doubt I'll see ya. Actually, this comment doesn't have much of a point at all. So, have a good weekend. Skol Vikings!

Wilf recently sent out a personal letter to some fans I have heard- I am not one of them for some reason.
Red COULD have sent out personal letters too.
Get one of those up Brian!
Rob: Funny you should mention the Wilf letter. Mine arrived today and I have already scanned it in. It will be posted as part of my Monday entry.
