This is the big one, Dodd. I don't know exactly what happened here, but apparently this is the one that tipped it over to Tripp.

Not really, I doubt Z's vote for tripp had much impact on the decision - assuming tripp got the ticker.

However, I can definitely see the substance of Z's post being the reasons tripp got the nod; this is probably sfalim's first time going, and tripp is the better choice than Zero2Cool.

For a much more complete experience, Z has nothing on tripp.

I think a lot of us (myself included) spoke on emotion in voting for Z, but rationally speaking tripp should've been the one to go.

No offense to anyone, but when I go to Lambeau for the first time, hands down I'd rather take Tripp.

I guess, although, I can't say I agree with you. Anyone that's been to Lambeau more then twice should be able to to provide more then enough of a quality experience. After all, an individual doesn't even have to do much, the experience, ESPECIALLY with those seats will do the work itself. The contribution of any individual is insignificant in my opinion. Any Packer "history" or the likes that could be discussed I'm also sure Zero could handle as well.

So yeah, I just don't buy that Zero wouldn't have enough "Lambeau Experience" to provide a MORE then satisfactory experience. Sorry. Also, it'd be nice to see someone who hasn't and doesn't have as many opportunities to go to get the opportunity, especially due to all the hard work said individual puts in to something tons of people use daily.

Just my opinion. Doesn't really affect me much either way.

When I first seen this thread, I had started thinking about how awesome this would be and how I'd do whatever I could to maximize the experience for sfalim. I was like a kid in a candy store with excitement. I kept telling myself "it wont happen, this stuff doesn't happen to you", as experience with Tripp has shown me that he gets the nod on these things. But when I got a PM Friday night from Non saying to call him "so we can discuss details of this transaction". I didn't call right away because I got the PM near 10pm and didn't want to wake his twins. And because I hate talking on the phone.

The sad part to this. After I sent my number to Non, I kept checking my phone (making sure it was charged and ringer was up loud), my email, junk folder, PM inbox here, the chat room.... like a high school girl waiting for the most popular guy in school to call her to ask her to prom.

After going through most of the day expecting a call or email with the details, I found out in the gameday chat. According to Nonstopdrivel, the only reason Tripp got the ticket was because I voted for him, which I did because I felt bad.

In my late 20's and still learning that you can't count your chickens before they hatch. Friday and Saturday, I couldn't sleep out of excitement, tonight I won't sleep out of frustration of my own stupidity. Some day I'm going to learn. I hope. This is one of those things, I just won't be able to let go for a very long time. I know this fact puts a smile on one persons face.

To end this wah wah post on a positive note. I was taken back by the kind words from some of the posts here. (spare AADP's low blow). Thank you! Sorry I let you down. You all give way too much credit to me for this website. Think of PackersHome like a good beer. You don't buy and enjoy that beer because of the bottle its in, you buy and enjoy it because of the beer inside. I created PackersHome, the bottle, but you guys are the beer, you are what everyone enjoys.

Kevin....you would have done a great job had you gone. I feel bad for you not getting to be there. Crap.
As far as the "beer", yes, we ARE the beer.......but without all the work of YOU building the brewery, us "beer" people would be empty bottles.
You get the credit from us, because you DESERVE it.
You did all the work to build the site. WE get to enjoy the fruits of your labor of love.
THANK YOU!!!

You're just too damn nice, Zero. I was a little confused by your post voting for Tripp to go. It sounded like you had changed your mind and/or weren't able to make it. I wasn't sure... In the future, when it comes to Packers tickets, screw being nice. Just be honest about how much you want it! Anyway, I think it's a shame that you were not able to attend the game, after everything you've done here. If I have the opportunity in the future, I'm going to make sure you get two tickets to a game. It won't be this season, but my family has season tickets, so it should be doable at some point.
