After we score a touchdown this year, can we please play "Skol
Vikings" over the loudspeaker and not that other ridculous song that
is NEVER played in the Metrodome or anywhere in Minnesota after the
Vikes score. "Skol Vikings" is the true song that every Minnesota
Vikings fan knows and sings, so why can't we do that here in NoVA.

Your faithful Viking Fan,

Zach
