Throughout the history of football in the United States, Texas has been a hotbed for football talent.
But Minnesota is underrated in terms of the state’s ability to produce football talent. So underrated, in fact, that the state has to face the No. 1 seed Dallas in the Homegrown Legends Tournament.
In order for Minnesota to do the unthinkable, the unimaginable, the unpredictable — we need people at Vikings Wire to vote in the tournament.
Here is where you vote.
Here’s why Minnesota will win:
“How Minnesota can win: Dallas has a menacing pass rush, but Minnesota has a star-studded offensive line, in addition to fullback Bronko Nagurski, who can provide added protection. Minnesota can run it right down the Dallas defense, with Marion Barber III finding open lanes. On defense, linebackers James Laurinaitis and Karl Mecklenburg can disrupt the Dallas offense. If Steve Walsh can get the ball out to Adam Thielen and Larry Fitzgerald with plenty of time, Minnesota could pull the upset.” — Jack White, Vikings Wire
Will Minnesota pull off the upset and move through the tournament? We’ll see. The voting deadline is Friday at 11 a.m. C.T.
