I do think the vikings rip off things from the gophers. We get a cannon they get a cannon. We have a fight song they dredge up a fight song no heard since like 1962. Male cheerleaders with flags? Check. Mascot? They got two now. A lot of it is pretty common stuff, but you have to wonder why an NFL team tries so hard to add the college football game day staples. I never heard the phrase skoal vikings until like 1999. Personally I think the do feel threatened in some way by competition by the gophers. I'm not sure why since the demographics of the average vikings fan is so different from that of a gopher fan.
