Out of Wisconsin Packer fan thread

Post #1 » by **DelaneyRudd** » Sat Nov 3, 2007 10:57 pm

Where you at? Why you a fan? Hpw long have you been a fan? What team do they always put on your local station that pisses you off because they suck?

My answers?
Salt Lake City, though before last month I lived 2 years in Minneapolis area.
I was born in Oshkosh, but moved to Utah in elementary school. My whole biological family is Packer fans.
They always put 49er games on here. I am a big Alex Smith fan (as I am an of Utah) but not when the Packers are playing in an obviously better matchup. Several years ago SI did surveys of favorite teams in each market and the Packers were 2, tied with Denver, yet they always choose Denver or SF over GB.

There, a little something to even out all that Big-10 BS in this forum.

In Mankato, MN for the last two weeks. Thought I'd be here for a long time. I'm likely moving back to Wisconsin in a couple weeks.

Great idea for a post! DB, sorry to hear about your multiple moves--those are a pain..

I've been a fan all my life, having grown up in Brookfield. I now live in Arlington, VA (just outside of DC), which unfortunately subjects me to Deadskins football, hype, and self-delusion. If there are a group of fans and commentators who can out-do Chicago's, they are here. You'd think that it's been 1989 for the past 10 years judging by how everyone talks about that team! Dan Snyder is the ideal owner for this area of the country...'nuff said

Born and raised in Wisconsin. I moved to Hawaii after college. There must be a lot of Packer fans out here, because it seems like 2 out of every 3 games are on TV.

Hey, I live in Rosslyn (also Arlington for others), and was born in Brookfield.

Weird.

I've been working on Sundays alot recently, but there are a few Packers bars around here if you haven't found them yet.

Mister Day's in Arlington (and before that DC) used to be, but they're really more of an everything bar...

Born and raised in the Chicagoland area, go to school at SIU now. I've been a Packers fan since I was 5. First game I ever watched was the Packers-Lions playoff game back in 93. Just grew attached to everything that was the Packers on that game.

There's quite a few Packers fans in the Chicagoland/Northern part of Illinois. I'm glad I made the right choice.
