Pigskin Weekend a Success in MN

The bank is open, and Favre looks great in purple. What a weekend it was for Minnesota football. First, the golden gophers open their new stadium with a victory over Air Force. What a relief to see the gophers pick up a "W" in their homecoming game. They needed to make a statement. The statement they made is no opponent is going to come into MN and rob our bank. I stole that line from someone else, but I like it; I like it a lot. Not only will the new stadium give the already great gopher football program a lift, it has done wonders for the community and the state of Minnesota. Not to mention the excitement it provides football fans like me. Next is the Vikings. Favre picks up a win, thanks to Adrian Peterson's 180 beastly yards and a very man-like 3 TD's. Looks like my predictions for AP this year are right on track. Favre looked ok on Sunday, but the fact is that the Vikings are a run first football team. Therefore Favre really wont need to throw the ball 20-25 times. All of which is a recipe for success. I seriously see the Vikings playing in the NFC championship game. Not sure about the Superbowl at this point. I need to see more games to determine the likelihood of that. But for now I am in love with MN football.
