Minnesota, Antartica? Brian Robison, Vikings Will be Ready
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – Veteran defensive end Brian Robison said he had one thought when Minnesota drafted him in 2007: Antarctica.
“I didn’t know anything about Minnesota at the time, but that’s the first thing I thought of,” the Texas native said, laughing.
Robison played home games indoors for the first seven years of his career before the Vikings returned to the outdoors for a two-year stint at the University of Minnesota.
“I’ve definitely been blessed to play indoors for as long as we did,” Robison said. “I’ve been blessed that we haven’t had a ton of cold, cold weather the last two years.”
Cold weather has been part of Vikings lore.
