The Minnesota Vikings are back home after playing preseason game 1 against the Las Vegas Raiders, attended by guest Luke Braun of Locked On Vikings. He was also at Egan at the TCO Training Center watching the Vikings Training Camp prior to that. Now, we have him visiting the bar for Vikings Happy Hour. Is he full of optimism or concern? Let the Lake Monster Brew, drinks, and Vikings observations flow!

From the Raiders to the San Francisco 49ers. The Niners are in town to practice with the Vikings ahead of their matchup in preseason game 2 at US Bank Stadium. It will be the first time for many fans to fill the stadium, do the SKOL Chant, and see the 2022 squad play. Luke will tell us what he is looking for. What are you looking for? Do you want to see the rookies continue to improve? How about Ed Ingram starting at right guard? How fast can Brian Asamoah hit a hole and swallow up a ball carrier? Will Kene Nwangwu and Ty Chandler continue to flash? How about the backup QB battle? It should be fun.

So grab your Lake Monster beer and join us! Skol!
