Since this is a new board, and the Packers have fans from around the world it would be nice to get to know some of you.

I have been on RealGM for nearly 2 years mostly talking on the Chicago Bulls board. I have been a Bulls fan since 1984.

I am soo happy to now have a forum for my other favorite team, the Packers!

I live in Green Bay, although I grew up in Janesville. I am Married and my wife and I have a 2 year old. I manage Super Ron's Food Center in Pulaski.

The Packers are a year round topic up here, and there isn't a better franchise in all of sports. We are definitely Title Town!

I Look forward to having conversations with all of you.

Well there are always rare combos around the world. It's cool that we have these boards now because now we all can meet new people that we could not meet on the bucks board since they are not fans of the bucks. By the way, I'm Dan, I'm 17 years old and I'm a junior at Greendale high school in green dale, Wisconsin. I've been a Wisconsin sport fan all my life and i love the packers as much as anything.

This is a good idea. A lot of us know each other from the Bucks board, but there are inevitably a bunch of new posters as well.

Packer fan, obviously, in addition to the Badgers and Bucks. I regret to say I've never been to a game, but I've been to Lambeau on a tour. Live in Madison, grew up in Madison, born and bred Wisconsin sports.

I'm a sucker for defense in basketball (being a Bucks fan is painful sometimes), and it carries over to a large extent in football. Not to debate which is better, but I'd rather have a high-power defense than a high-octane offense. Of course, the best is to have both.

I look forward to meeting the "new" people. Hope to have some great conversations. The draft is only 25 days away.

I was born in Oshkosh, raised in Utah, live in Minneapolis and have been a Packer fan my whole life. I am a regular in the Jazz board and OT Board, and now here in the Packer board. The Jazz are back in the playoffs and the Packers will be too.

The NFL does a great job of keeping interest up in the offseason. After the Super Bowl free agency starts. And you have the combine in Indy. This week the schedule is released. Although we already know who we play it's still fun to get the schedule. Then the draft. Then mini camps. And before you know it it's July. My company represents several Packers, most of last years rookies and we also work with Driver. I can't wait to get back up to Lambeau.

Bucks, Brewers and Packers fan. The last couple years around here most of my favorite discussions have revolved around the Packers and more specifically the draft. It'll be fun to hear some new opinions.

Big fan of the Packers, Bucks, Brewers and BC-football and basketball. Also like the Red Sox, Marquette hoops, and follow and cheer for (when they're not playing my favorite teams) UW football and basketball.

Like DB above, most of my time is spent on football topics as that is my sport of choice, but I also dabble in the NBA stuff-specifically when it relates to the draft. I love talking about building franchises.

I grew up in Milwaukee and have been fortunate enough to attend 2-3 games a year at Lambeau as my family has the Milwaukee season ticket package. There's no place like it.

I live in New York, but am a die hard Packers fan, along with Knicks and Yankees.
But the Pack fan in me comes from watching football while I was young and seeing this guy Favre play. Haha.

Bucks, Brewers, and Packer fan here. Been on the board for awhile posting in the Bucks' section. Feels good not to have to sift through that 215+ page thread to find information I'm looking for. :)

I know. I read some of the larger thread but rarely posted because there were so many topics being talked about at once.

Someone would post something and then another poster would rant that they discussed that 3 pages ago.

That will be an advantage here (at least for awhile).

i am a minnesota guy...MN sports is what i do...wild, twins, wolves, gophs, but absolutely, unequivically, no VIKINGS. I dont hate anything or anyone, but I would have paid for Red McCombs plane ticket to ship the Vikings to San Antonio. I can honestly say the enitre organization bugs the heck out of me.

On a brighter note, i have been a packer fan all my life. My dad is from superior WI, so i grew up loving the pack and hating the vikings.

Grew up watching Jordan's Bulls because of Jordan. Really idolized him, read books when I was younger the whole like. Once he left, transitioned to Ray Allen, Glenn Robinson, and Sam Cassell's live and die by the jumpshot teams. Haven't left the Bucks since. I sort of got into the NBA by myself, nobody else in my house is a basketball fan or was, kind of got my mom into it.

Always grew up watching the Packers. It was the only regular sporting event on TV in my house. That coupled with the fact that they were pretty good throughout my childhood kind of strengthened my "fanness."

Never really was a Brewer fan or baseball fan in general till a couple years ago. I'd go to games to have an excuse to get drunk and I gradually got into it more. I really don't know much outside of the Brewers though. Fantasy baseball has helped me know more of the players through statistics.

Personally I'm 18 years old going on 19 in July. Been posting on this board for 3 years in July. I go to the University of Wisconsin - Madison where I am contemplating a few different majors, mainly Anthropology with a focus on Archeology, Creative Writing sort of thing, and Sports Management. I played organized soccer for 12 years and everything else growing up. Yay! That's it.

Edit: I also like boobs.
