Can you believe it's been over three decades since the unforgettable Miracle at the Met and the opening of the Hubert H. Humphrey Metrodome? Join us as we take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, revisiting the rollercoaster decade of the 1980s for the Minnesota Vikings. We'll explore the team's successes, including 12 playoff appearances, 11 division titles, and four Super Bowl runs, as well as the legendary coaches who shaped the Vikings during this era - Fran Tarkington, Jim Marshall, Bud Grant, and Les Steckel. And who can forget the quarterbacks who played through the ups and downs, like Tommy Kramer and Wade Wilson? Plus, we'll discuss the Global Cup, the first American football game played at London's Wembley Stadium.
But it wasn't all smooth sailing for the Vikings in the '80s. We'll delve into the coaching struggles that plagued the team, including Les Steckel's military-style approach that led to the dismal 3-13 season in 1984. Discover how Jerry Burns emerged as the coach the Vikings needed after Bud Grant's departure, and hear about the statement game they played against all odds. We'll also touch on the Minnesota Twins' '87 season success and the Vikings' heartbreaking loss against the Washington Redskins in the NFC Championship Game. And as a bonus, after listening to our episode, be sure to check out the Deluxe Edition Network and the podcast of the year winner, Bev's Video Kingdom!
