Official Vikes/Bears Tailgate Pics Thread

[shockzilla]

Hey all - went to the (somewhat frigid) Vikes/Bears tailgate before the game this evening. Had a pretty good crowd, so I thought I'd post the pics I took since I couldn't go to the game. Here we go!

Had dinner the night before with Mrs. Shock, Anglovike and his wife...

Gary was SO UPSET that TNT didn't show at the tailgate that he threw himself off a table and injured himself severely. The doctors we consulted aren't sure he'll be able to make it, but they'll do what they can to save the poor guy... As he lay on the ground writhing in pain, all we could hear him say over and over was "It's HER FAULT!! It's HER FAULT!!"...

Well, that's it for the pics. I have some videos I took at the tailgate, which I'll post tomorrow in the "Videos/Tailgate" section.

UPDATE:
One heck of a victory!!!!

[gregair13]

So many people showed up! That is awesome. Great day to celebrate!

[Jilly]

Burrrr but it looks like you guys had a great time. I wish I was there, what a great win!!

Singer, I like the beard ;D

[VikeWings]

Mrs. Vikewings are I will be looking for you all at the Giants game in December, if not in Arizona??? Hopefully Gary makes at least a
partial recovery as no pic thread would be the same without him.

I miss the cold weather so much... I am sick of this 70 degree crap going on here... I want cold weather and the fellowship of fellow viking fans.... MOVE ME TO MN!

Thanks for taking the pics, Shock.
Yes, we had a good crowd.
When Sno and I showed up at 3, it was Webby, Neum, Viking Goddess and her man and Singer.
Nice setup - two tents, a tarp for a wind-break (along with Webby's ride), the two heaters (warmed my toes nicely a couple times!) and a TV to watch the early games!!
It rocked - HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks again to Webby and Neum for getting there early and setting everything up!!

God this is awesome!
SKOL!

=Z=
Oh - BTW - TNT was awarded the "LVP" (LEAST Valuable Player) award before the game...I believe we have video.

[NeumDog]

It was a great time, followed by a GREAT game!


Thanks to all who showed up in the cold.
(It really wasn't that cold!
:P)

Anyone else have pics? I'm sure Anglovike will post his once he and the Mrs. get back to England.

I got nothing.
I did take some pics of the "John Randle" card stunt - I'll post those tonight.

Where's the "LVP!" video??

Heaters, we don't need no stinkin' heaters! What would Bud think?
;D

Great pics, Shock. I'm sure the visiting Anglos had a great time.
