I'm not telling you anything you don't already know when I say the Vikings are the most schizophrenic team in the NFL.It's not just that they can look so good one Sunday and so crappy the next. It's that they can look so good for one quarter and then stink in the next three. Or that they can play so well at home, but then not even resemble that same team on the road.They are a team that can beat any team in the NFL or lose to any team. I don't have an answer or know anybody who does, but I don't see other teams in the NFL acting like this bunch of split personalities ,and I don't know a psychiatrist with a couch large enough to fit them all.Sooner or later people are going to have to ask who is responsible. I would like to think that, if you're getting paid millions of dollars to play a game, that in itself would be incentive enough to show up for a game with your head screwed on straight, but apparently not. So then you'd hope a coach would have the ability to motivate them or at least keep them on an even keel rather than have such up and down swings, but apparently not.I guess I'm just not too impressed with Coach Mike Tice. He's supposed to have a good rapport with the players, but so did Dennis Green. I don't think a coach has to be buddies with his players anyway. I don't think he's been a particularly good clock manager or flag-tosser when it comes to reviewing plays. I don't have major problems with his game plans and play calling like I did with Green, and we probably haven't had enough time yet to grade his draft picks, though they initially seem pretty good.But I say, if the Vikes don't make the playoffs this year and win a postseason game or two, Tice is cooked. I, for one, won't cry when he's gone. Patience is not one of my virtues and, hey, I'm 40 years old and I'd like to see a Super Bowl victory in my lifetime.Calling Mike Ditka!MAT NOTES: * It was nice to see the pep band at Thursday night’s Luverne wrestling match against West Central and to hear them sounding so fine. * Coach Tim Homan’s wife, Pam, was able to get away from her busy schedule as Sioux Falls school superintendent to watch her husband’s Luverne coaching debut.* West Central High School is located in Hartford, S.D., home town to a gaggle of Kappermans, including my wife’s mom. In fact, my wife’s cousin, Nick Kapperman, was one of the two Trojans defeated by Luverne wrestlers. It must run in the family, because my wife isn’t a very good wrestler either.GRADS IN THE NEWS:Luverne grad Hannah Dietrich, a senior at Augsburg College, earned All-MIAC honorable-mention honors with her 23rd place finish at the conference cross country meet this past season.She also competed in the NCAA Division III region meet and finished 40th, running the 6,000-meter course in 24:09.
