Well, I've been a Packer fan all of my life. I grew up in Sioux Falls, SD, and while there are a variety of fans in the part of the country, it is mostly dominated by Vikings fans. You could probably guess, this didn't make Elementary school very fun. I didn't have a choice of which team to follow though, as my entire extended family are Packer fans. My Grandpa started following the Packers sometime in the late 1930s or '40s, so it goes way back for me.

As I became more interested in football as a kid the Packers got better and better, winning the big one in '96 and going again in '97. So it was a good time to cement my fandom, but it also means my expectations are usually pretty high, which makes seasons like 2008 disappointing.

Through high school and college I continued to follow the team, watching most of the games in college in St. Paul Minnesota at a place called Gabe's by the Park, a Packer Bar and overall great place. I watched most of those games with one of my best friends and fellow forum member evad04, which incidentally is how I was introduced to this forum.

Now I live in Nashville, TN where I'm pursuing a Masters of Theological Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity. I am always looking for new bits and bytes of Packer news so I thought I would finally join up on the forums that evad04 is always talking about. Glad to be part of the community.

Oh, no, another preacher in our midst. Be afraid . . . be very afraid. ;)

Welcome to the forums, Silentio (I hope you haven't taken a vow thereof?). My father grew up in Sioux Falls, and I was born in Brookings, so I've had to visit South Dakota quite a few times.

William Henderson didn't have to run people over. His preferred method was levitation.

When I was going to ProSource many moons ago to get my real estate license, one of my lunch breaks, I stopped in at Gabe's. Took me until I got my meal to realize what I walked into.

Oh, and cause I'm a Viking never-die. 🙂

Martha Careful (5h) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.
beast (10h) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.
beast (10h) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.
Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways
Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).
buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley
Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.
Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”
Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.
dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that
dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.
Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)
Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!
earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage
beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position
dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.
dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.
Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl
Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.
dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left
dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out
Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!
packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold
