I don't think ticket-holders (selling their tickets to FIBs) are thinking this through.
It seems the Cubs fans have turned Miller Park into Wrigley North, so they are in the process of turning Lambeau into -- what the heck DO they call that ugly new -- stadium ?
(I have never said out loud that these people are losers who can't get tickets down in TrafficTown.)
(AND it's been a while since I've called that Twin Cities guy a "ViQUEEN" fan here at FR.)
(And, sadly, my nephew -- who has gone a long while without wearing The Paper Bag of Shame on his head at Packer games -- will have to get it out of the closet soon....)
FUN PACKER FACT:
We live somewhere between Madison and Milwaukee, so we can pick and choose which local reporters to watch for the local news. The Madison stations will have a lot of Badger news in their sports reporting. *yawn*
The Milwaukee news, on the other hand, OPENS the broadcast with Packer game recaps, interviews, etc. When it's time for the Milwaukee ticket-holders to use theirs, they have traffic reports about the highway from M'waukee to Green Bay. Of course, we have our weather and the weather where the TEAM is. Right after the news, we have a half hour on every channel that has its pundits giving recaps and predictions.
AND to all you out-of-staters: except for Madistan (mostly), the WHOLE STATE is rabid about the team. I see programs that say it's just the locals....
And we have out own "Secret Handshake." Anyone who can do an End Zone Yancey Thigpen Instant Replay is automatically IN -- no questions asked!
Playing on Christmas? Being one of the Christmas planners in the family, I can tell y'all it was a MUCH bigger problem in the Milwaukee area WHEN THE SCHEDULE CAME OUT. Then the season started....
Sorry to say I am old enough to remember that game. Ummm maybe I am glad to say I am not too old to remember it. One of the greatest ever played.
Anything to agitate a Packer backer.
Sorry, that honor belongs to the Packers this year.
The Cowboys play the panthers on Christmas Eve. I'm hoping for the best,but will load up on eggnog just in case.
Dinner should be over by that time, so I can just sit back, relax, and watch the massacre commence.
That's right. We can hold our chins up, stick out our chest, and shout proudly at the top of our lungs, "We suck!"
Merry Christmas to you and yours as well.
Ravens 30 Vikes 23
"Yeah, but it's easy to look great vs GB this year."
Looked great again this week and knocked the Vikes out of the playoff picture.
Thanks Diana in Wisconsin.
I’m rooting for the Bears anyway. :’) And that’s something that happens about once a decade.
That was a nice pass on 3rd and 9.
Followed by an impressive fumble recovery. ;’)
Bears are moving the ball!
The chatty announcers mentioned that, over 20 years, 39 meetings (excl tonight’s), the Packers have won 27 times, i.e., the Bears won 12.
In the same stretch, how many times have the Lions beat the Packers?
Dreamer. 14-3.
