He should have got in years ago.
I don't know what more the guy could have done to get in.
I hope he gets in BEFORE he dies.

All Packers fans should do whatever they can (letters, emails etc.) to put the full court press on to get Jerry into the HOF.
Kramer not being inducted is a travesty that needs to be corrected while he is still living.
I've heard all kinds of arguments from Packers fans (supposedly) of all people why he shouldn't be but I don't buy any of them.

Why is Jerry Kramer not in the Hall of Fame?

Except that I agree with him. The Packer Sweep had a lot of components and reads to it, but none more important than the guard pulling quickly and making his block. During the early days of that dynasty, they averaged something like 8 yards every time they ran it. Of course that called for Hornung and Taylor but Jerry Kramer was as or more responsible than any player on the field making that happen.

Kramer was integral in getting two running backs into the HOF and leaving him out (guard being as under represented a position as any in the hall) is tragic. Do we have to wait til he dies like Ken Stabler to get some recognition?

I'm afraid, though, that he gets in the year he passes away.

He's not in because he doesn't deserve to be. The only people wanting him in are Packers fans/players and other players who are fringe Hall of Fame worthy players.

beast (32m) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (33m) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (34m) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (4h) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (5h) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (5h) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (7h) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (7h) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (7h) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (9h) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (11h) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (17h) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (18h) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (18h) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (18h) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (18h) : Game not over yet

beast (19h) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (19h) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (19h) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (19h) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (20h) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Oh snap!!!

Zero2Cool (21h) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

Zero2Cool (21h) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.

Mucky Tundra (21h) : ohhhhhhh Zero is in TROUBLE

packerfanoutwest (21h) : Zero, per your orders, check Bearshome, not packershome

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Then he'll land with another team and flourish.

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Ben going to Bears. He'll be out in 3 years.

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : what's so funny?

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Zero2Cool (20-Jan) : Bears are finalizing a deal to hire Ben Johnson as their head coach. (via @tompelissero )

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Looks like Lions OC Ben Johnson is going to be the Bears coach

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : TD but another failed 2 pt conversion!

Mucky Tundra (20-Jan) : Ravens still alive, but barely

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Or not...BUT THAT CATCH BY NACUA

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : WE MAY HAVE BEEN PREMATURE KANATA

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Time to make dinner

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Ouch!!!! Dagger for the Eagles

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : DAGGER

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : pass plays

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Seems some of their passes are too deep. Reminds me of MLF as well.

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oren Burks with a clutch pass break up...I will now light myself on fire

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : a run on 2nd down and 17 from McVay? So that's where MLF gets it from!

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Do or die time for the Rams

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking field goals are impressive

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : Oh that might be a backbreaker

Mucky Tundra (19-Jan) : That's what I thought too, just wasn't sure

TheKanataThrilla (19-Jan) : Kicking doesn't make much sense
