Players are reporting to Vikings training camp in Mankato today. The first public practice is Friday, July 27.

It's high time to crank up the Purple Pride hype machine.

A second-year coach, a greenhorn quarterback and a crop of unknown receivers? It must not be this dire!

Oh, yes. Adrian Peterson. Gotta sign him.

Anybody have a handle on this team? How will they do?

Feel free to share your training camp tips and strategies for parking, autographs and making the most out of Mankato.
