 Since the Minnesota miracle that secured the Vikings trip to the NFC championship last Sunday, one local couple put all their faith in the Vikings and purchased tickets for the Super Bowl. Karen Thompson, also known as Bubbles, purchased tickets for herself, her husband and a friend in Boston because she believes the Vikings will play the Patriots in Super Bowl 52. Karen shared her purple pride yesterday during the taping of Bemidji's city-wide Skoll chant. She says everyone should jump on the bandwagon because the Vikings are going to win the big game. I have been a diehard Viking fan. My mom taught me all about football and she was the football person in the family. And I have been a Viking fan for life. All you fair weather Viking fans, forget it. They're going all the way and they're going to the Super Bowl. For the Super Bowl, the Vikings will need to take down the Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday in the NFC championship.
