wow.

Sometimes, I forget why I'm a fan. Usually this occurs about 2/3 to 3/4 into the Minnesota Vikings regular season, when everything falls apart.

But tonight, TONIGHT, holy moly rocky.

Now that was a game.

UMD (University of Minnesota Duluth), the alma mater of both my father and husband, pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the proverbial hat.

39 seconds left in the game. Things were grim. UMD pulled their goalie, and scored two, yes TWO, goals in that final 39 seconds to tie the game.

And then in sudden death overtime? SCORE!!!!! UMD wins.

I haven't been a part of the winning side of such an exciting sporting event in, I don't know, forever?

And I'm not one of those types of people who can compartmentalize. No. When I'm following a game, that game is the entirety of my life.

So tonight? Was a very awesome night.

Good luck 'Dogs!!!
