2010 Season and Packers Fans

During the '96 season I was 16 years old and had a once in a lifetime sort of feeling the Packers would win it all. I was a fan, not like I am today, but I regretted not watching everything Packers that was available to me. Mike Holmgren show, MNF Kickoff, etc ... and also reading articles.

My advice to you, as Packers fans, soak this up, enjoy this, it might only be one more game, but what the Packers have done this season is truly special. Make no mistake about it, the Packers are the real Americas Team.

Here's a few off the top of my head ...

Watch the videos.

http://www.nfl.com/videos/green-bay-packers

Read the articles.

In 12 hours, the Green Bay Packers will be one of only four remaining teams out of 32 that have the opportunity to win the NFL Championship. We are lucky as Packers fans, and I hope none of us take this granted and each of us enjoy this to its fullest. And anything I can do to help, do not hesitate to ask, because I won't make the mistake I did 14 years ago, again this year.

I ask this of anyone and everyone. I'll do my part in bringing articles here and hope you do the same.

I am 16 years old right now, and I have to say that I couldn't be a more diehard fan. I don't remember the last time I missed a Packer game. That thanks in large part to this forum.

I was to young in '96 / '97 to watch them in the superbowl, and have been waiting for it all my life. Hopefully this is the year.

Thank you for providing a perfect place to come and chat about the Packers. I live in VA, so Packer fans are limited around here. In fact, I don't have any friends that are Packer fans.

I wouldn't know as much about the Packers as I do now if it weren't for PackersHome.

What a helluva ride this season has been. I can't imagine a more frustrating yet simultaneously hard-fought and hard-won season. Truly incredible is the team which has shown up the last couple months. Un-frikkin-believable. And I *do* believe Rodgers won't be throwin' no I-N-T's in overtime this year. ;)

"And they did it with a night to remember from Aaron Rodgers, who has gotten the Brett Favre monkey off his back, stuffed it, mounted it on the wall, and texted a photo of it to Jenn Sterger."
-Mike Florio

I agree with Twinkiegorilla.

So true Zero. This feels "real" for some reason too. The 2008 playoff run didn't feel "real" because I always thought that team over-achieved and was kind of waiting for things to come crashing down. But right now I feel like we are the best team and can actually win this.

We really do need to enjoy this moment, its such a great point. It comes around so rarely. One game away from the SB?!

I had such a wild night last night of drinking and celebrating, I feel like crap right now but it was worth every pint. I can't wait until next week.

It would be so sweet just to make the SB, just for some these older guys like Driver and Woodson, that deserve to be in a SB.

I have goosebumps.

I agree. I was too young to enjoy the last Superbowl so I'm trying to enjoy this run as much as possible.

Looking back on this season I have to sort of laugh at myself. There were more than a couple times were I hung my head and told myself we would do it "next year".

BAD EMAIL because the address couldn ot be found, or is unable to receive mail.

I thought this myself when watching interviews of DD and Woody on packers.com, and also how much I wanted the team to go for the same guys, Harris, etc. back in '07.

As zero said, when Burt was going through his 3 MVPs, I too was 16 and thought, hell, we'll win every frickin year, maybe another 8 super bowls for Burt and co but this obviously wasn't the case. The team didn't even make another NFC Champ for another 10 years!

Great thread idea by Zero because we do need to appreciate how infrequently theses opportunities come around.

This year has been a rollercoaster of emotions. With the injuries at the beginning of the season, there was a point that every time I saw I had a text from my brother, I was afraid it was a new injury update. But the team seemed to get better with seemingly amateurish players. And now, we are SO close. Fittingly, we have to go through the Bears to get to the Super Bowl. And we have to do it at Soldier field. I'm terrified, but I'd have it no other way.

As many other posters on here do (I would imagine), I get a LOT of shit from my wife about being on PH.com so much. It is never hard for me to explain why I do it.

Imagine that you are as interested in something, anything, as I am the Green Bay Packers. So much so that it plays heavily with your emotions. Now, imagine that you don't have hardly any friends that are fans of the same thing, much less knowledgeable fans. Then, one glorious day, you are referred to a website that will take you to over a thousand people that share the same interests as you, but more importantly are much more knowledgeable than you. Imagine that you can go to the website and learn SO much more about your passion. Your passion will grow very quickly, and you will have others to share it with.

That is what I have, thanks to all of you guys. Incredible.

Well said, Zero. I was also too young to get the full glory of the Packer '96 SB. But over the past couple of years this site has helped me become a diehard Packer fan. My appreciation in large part goes to Zero, of course, but also to the everyday posters. I love signing on and reading what this solid community has to say. Zombie, Ironman, Pack 93z, bozz, Finley (who never stopped believing), Greg C, evad, go.pack.go, warhawk, and Cheesey, I have to thank you guys in particular for your constant, intelligent posting. Heck nerdman thanks even to you for keeping us grounded because McCarthy always screws up :pottytrain2:

Thanks a lot to this entire posting community it has been an awesome ride, and I am blessed to be on it with such great fans. Now let's go get a ring!!!!

GO PACK GO!!!

Thanks to pack93z for the sig!!!
