As everyone knows the V-Team lives in a house divided. I'm a Packers fan and Benny is a Vikings fan. And on most days of the year we are able to put our differences aside. There are only three days a year that are truly challenging for our marriage: the two regular season games and that occasional playoff match between Green Bay and Minnesota. For years we have talked about constructing a rotating trophy that will proclaim the winner each season. I used to crow about that when the Packers were winning. Now that the Vikings won the last game between these two teams, I haven't brought it up. On the other hand, Benny displays his Vikings scarf as a trophy in the foyer of our home.
I told him to take it down after the Super Bowl. The football season is over. It's time to start fresh. Yet, the scarf remains there tauting me every time I come home.
Then last week we received a baby gift from our friends, Andy and Alicia. Andy, like Benny, is from Minnesota and is a Vikings fan. And Alicia, like me is from Iowa. But she is, sadly, not a Packers fan. But she is able to make blankets and she made the blanket (picture below) for Baby Volkmann.
I can't flip it over because the backside is even worse: It's the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Really, the Hawkeyes? She must have been REALLY confused. Just go with the Vikings in that case!

Hummm I forget lost of people didn't live just outside a major sports city. Strange the things you take for granted growing up that way.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun though! How exciting! Sports here are a joke, I just head back up to PA. I was in the mall yesterday and there was a whole store full of Redskins crap. I'm lucky I didn't toss my cookies all over the place.
In Alicia's defense, she said she looked high and low for Cyclones material for the blanket.
