What it means to be a Packer Fan.

[POINTER94]

Saturday night in Green Bay, the packers held a scrimmage. The Packer offence vs. the Packer defence at Lambeau Field. Not full contact and very few starters. Something like $8 per person to get in. IT WAS A SELLOUT! Over 60,000 fans showed up to watch and the game was carried statewide on TV. It was under two hours long.<br /><br />Sorry Dallas, America's team is owned by Americans (the fans themselves). But we did have people from TX who drove up to watch the scrimmage. What makes a Packer fan? Loyalty is definately a requirement. GO PACK!!!!!

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.

The Pack does have a very loyal fan base. I think it is very cool that the players ride the younger fans bikes after practice.

The Packers have a great thing, and I have always admired them (despite Reggie White's whining after the game in which the 'Boys kicked about seven field goals and won the game). I even kinda pull for them most of the time. But, I am a Cowboy fan and have been since I saw them on TV the first time back in '62.

We are the Green Bay Packers. My Bride and I, our Kids too, rarely miss a TV game. <br /><br />Gotta have them Upnort at the huntin' shack too. Can only get them on Fox, UHF ya know. Put that antenna on the shak along with a Channel Master preamp to pull that uhf signal in from 70 or so miles away.<br />

<br /><br />Pack 'sposed to have a new defense scheem this year, more blitzing. GOGOGO PACKERS!!!!!!

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.

Thanks Link!!! I may run coax from the shack to the blind. Hook coax up to 9" dc TV powered by a 115 ah marine batt. LOL. And maybe an extension cord to power a Ronco type wiener cooker to make up Brats!! LOL Considering that I now have power via the ex. cord, ditch the 9" dc, go with full blown flat screen mounted in upper corner like a tavern!! LOL Ah heck, might as well put a grill in for the brats. Next ya know, bellowed all through the woods..."Pat Campbell is cooking Jhonsinville Bratts" causing folks to come from miles around......ahhhh geeze, I digress again...<br /><br />Gotta have the Packers Game!!!!!

The Packers, only team owned by the city that they play in. As I live in Green Bay, and support them, I gotta love them! What really amazes me is the support they get from people from other states. And we got a superbowl hero playing QB(Brett) from the south and he loves it up here. Don't tell Ladyfish, but there are plenty of Texan's that like my team. PDS

Nothing like being a Viking fan living in Wisconsin!!!!<br /><br />

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.

I never thought a Viking fan could even SURVIVE in Wisconsin, much less live there!<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />-dd-

Hey pokersurf, Pat's mascot is a badger. Bucky Badger in fact. Mascot for the University of Wisconsin - Madison.

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.

I am a Packer fan and Rarely miss a game, but the other half is a Vikings fan. I guess when you have lived in North Dakota and Iowa She didnt know any better....

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.

The packers got a good thing going up there. I know of a man (packer season ticket holder) who went to a game by himself - his other seat was empty. Folks sitting around him asked about it, he told 'em his wife had just died a couple days ago. "Sorry about your wife, but couldn't you get any friends to come with you?" "Nope, they all wanted to go to the funeral."<br /><br />Now Jerry Jones wants us to pay for his new stadium, but will it belong to the city? Heck no!<br /><br />Sorry, Nathan, I haven't thought of the Cowboys as America's team since the Tom Landry/Roger Staubach days. I haven't even watched a Cowboys game since...well, when was the last time they had a roster with no felony convictions? At least, not since Michael Irvin started dressing like a ****.<br /><br />Jerry Jones is pure evil, well okay, he did hire Parcells - let's see if he (JJ) can keep his fingers out of the pie long enough for Parcells to do his thing.<br /><br />By the way, who remembers the ice bowl? How old were you? (I was eight).

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.

While I agree with you jtexas, I cant help but have a fierce loyalty to the players of old like Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith, Michael Irvin, Leon Lett, Nate Newton, Daryl Johnston and all those other guys. I wish that JJ would move on down the road, but for now we are stuck with him.

Re: What it means to be a Packer Fan.
