This Vikings fan didn’t get to see his team win because he was at a Rutgers game instead

It’s perfectly fine if you don’t want to watch a game because you’re too nervous about the outcome. It’s also acceptable to not take in an NFL playoff game because you already had plans. But if your favorite team wins — and if they win in stunning fashion — it’s gonna hurt just a little bit.

That’s what these Vikings fan at a Rutgers basketball game must be feeling, especially the dude wearing the Vikings sweater. He goes through so many emotions in such a short amount of time thanks to the game-winner.

Let’s break down how he’s feeling:

Surprise: The fact that he’s on the phone during the game shows that he probably didn’t expect the Vikings to win the game the way they did. And of course, if your favorite team wins with seconds left in the game, you need to talk to someone about it as soon as possible. Texts are fine, but nothing tops the feeling of being on the line with someone just screaming ‘OH MY GOD WHAT JUST HAPPENED,’ to a buddy.

Amazement and regret: Yes, the moment was incredible but the realization that the event took place in real time without you transitions to deep FOMO. You could’ve been watching the game, dude. This feeling that you were experiencing just seconds ago could have felt twice as good had you been watching the majority of the game.

Appreciation of the moment itself: So what if you didn’t soak in the game experience and was at a basketball game? This is the sports equivalent of ‘If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?’ Well, if the forest is M&T Bank Stadium and it’s filled with thousands of roaring fans then yes. The moment is still special. Proceed to experiencing how unique Stefon Diggs’ touchdown was without the worry about being there or near a TV.

Confirmation: Sometimes, a score is just so unbelievable that you have to go back to your phone and double check that its not a typo or some sort of glitch made specifically to mess with your emotions. Congrats Vikings fans! Rutgers lost to Ohio State 68-46 but that doesn’t matter too much. The Vikings won the dang playoff game!
