Former Minnesota LB Wally Hilgenberg has died

May not be a name the younger fan of football may know, but I know there are some Viking fans on the board

Was a LB on the Purple People Eaters teams of the 70's and was considered by many of those players to be the glue of those defenses

Passed away today at the way too young age of 66 of ALS. What a horrible disease that is

Grew up watching those teams so a very sad day here in Minnesota

RIP Wally

If you laugh, you think, and you cry, that's a full day. That's a heck of a day. You do that seven days a week, you're going to have something special.” ---Jim Valvano
