I was at work today,(I manage a Liquor store between the Airport and the Las Vegas Strip.),When a couple arrives in a limo from the airport.The Gentleman is wearing a Packer Hat.We get into the usual where you from in Wisconsin,Packs looks good this year,yada yada.I help them with the questions they have and make some suggestions on what they should purchase.About this time the owner shows up with some product that I need to help him unload.As Im standing out side with the owner,the Gentleman with the Pack hat is by his limo putting away their purchases ,and waves me over.He asks me am I really a huge Packer Fan?I tell him YOU BET I AM!!!! He say's he has someone he wants me to meet.
He opens the door to the Limo and who should be sitting in it. WILLIE DAVIS!!!!!!!!!! Former DE from 1960-1969.We chatted for a minute and they took off for the Hotel.He seemed extra happy that the Vikings bit the dust Thursday nite.
Stuff like this never happens to me.I'm taking it as a sign from the football gods that the Pack is going to have a Great season.

That's a REALLY neat story!
I have seen Willie a few times at Fan Fest. I haven't got his autograph yet though.

I didn't even think about an autograph,I was just happy to meet the man and shake his hand.It's been a great couple of weeks here in Vegas. 30,000 Badger Fans last weekend,(I had a young couple from Grafton stop by on the way from the airport Cheesey.),and meeting Willie Davis this weekend.

Bump.
I just had to revisit this thread after the N.F.C.C. game.I think when I said "a great season" I might have underestimated it a tad?

Martha Careful (2h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (2h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (6h) : Rude!

beast (7h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (10h) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (13h) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (14h) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : 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 (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : 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 (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

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