Welcome to Sota Sisyphus

---

Every season, Minnesota Vikings fans endure the same sick cycle of fandom torment that came before. Not all seasons are created equal. But each year starts with a dream. A dream that with a draft pick here, a free agent there, and a better coaching scheme the purple will be a contender.

After a few wins early into the season, that dream turns into hope. A hope that, “maybe we can win the North and have a chance in the playoffs!”

Then, late in the season (if we are lucky), the Vikings give their fans a true gift—belief. The belief that, “okay, if the team stays healthy, and they don’t implode, they could have a real chance at the Super Bowl!”

But like Sisyphus, who was punished to push a boulder up a mountain every day, only to have it roll back down and have to do it all over again and again, Vikings fans have never had the joy of standing on the mountaintop. The belief always turns to lament. And after a bit of venting about the blunders that led to the season’s demise, we repeat the process.  

This website aims to chronicle the Vikings fan odyssey. 

If you are looking for a website with hot takes, deep dives into PFF grades, in-depth looks at the all-22, you are in the wrong place. 

If you are here to enjoy the ridiculous ups and downs of being a Vikings devotee through a fan blog. Welcome to Sota Sisyphus—let’s have some fun with it.
