As we approach this weekend’s NFC championship football game between the Minnesota Vikings and the New Orleans Saints, I can't help but look back and think how excited one of the all-time Warrior and Vikings fans —Archie Gargaetes — would have been to see his beloved Vikings in the championship game.

It would have been even more exciting when he realized that there is a Warrior — Viking connection.

Jared Allen, the all-pro defensive end for the Vikings is the son of former Warrior athlete Ron Allen. Ron is a 1973 graduate of Del Norte High School.
