Even though I hate the Packers, you have to admit they have some real football fans. I can't remember if it was ESPN or NFL Total Access but to get season tickets you have to stand in a really long line. It was up around 80,000. WOW!!!!!!

What else is there to do in Wi. ? Visit a cheese factory ? Go cow tipping ? Standing on line for Packer tickets is more of a social event than an inconvenience . I live in Sconny , not much happening .

They are not litterally standing in line. The waiting list for season tickets is 80,000 people. If you hunt or fish I would say their are lots of things to do in Wisconsin. That being said....the Packers stink smile.gif

As I mentioned I live in Wi. and the fans here are not the great fans they are made out to be . When the Pack wins EVERYBODY is a superfan but as soon as they hit a slump , which they have in the past few years , Packer fans turn ugly . Favre is always the first one whos got to go . Then the coach . They jump ship faster than rats off a burning ship . BUT if the Packers string to together a win or two its back to being Superfans . I see it every year . They are fans just like everyone else , fickle & demanding .

I agree with musky same fans over here that you have in minnesota. They jump ship just as fast over here. And back on just as fast.

When Moss "mooned" the Pack a few years ago, it was outrageous and fans and the WI media were all over how "A team would ever want such a player."

Then, when he was available this last year, the Packers and fans thought he was the GREATEST!

He's a good player..........you want your team to win, even if that means taking on someone you once hated.......I'm a Red Sox fan and wanted to name my first born Johnny, but now every time I use the toilet, I call it Johnny......it's all about the team.....

I am a Packer fan, I survived the Forrest Gregg years, Lindy Infante' and the second coming of christ, I mean Don Majicowski (who really cares how to spell it) years, and I can't forget roid raging Tony Madarich either.

When I first heard about the possibility of Moss wearing the green and gold, I said I would not wear green and gold until he no longer did. We'll see what happens in New England this year with Randy. Gifted yes, cancer in the locker room ABSOLUTELY! I think they should have taken a flyer on Keshawn though......

I agree with muskycrazy as well, but one difference you will see is the Packer fans will still show up for the games. It wasn't too many years ago, you'd go to a Vikings/Packers game in the dome and you weren't sure what team was the home team.

If you ask me that whole thing got blown out of proportion by whoever the FOX announcer was for that game. I think the last name was Buck. If you can't see the humor in the situation people need to lighten up a bit.

I agree with you. I found it pretty funny. You don't ever hear people complain about the vulgarities the fans yell at the players. If you are going to complain about it one way be fair and complain about both. Otherwise laugh about it and enjoy the game. grin.gif

That would be Joe Buck. He said something like, "What a disgusting act... and we apoligize to the viewers." Joe Buck definitely blew that one way out of proportion. I thought it was hilarious and I think everyone else did too.

Joe Buck should have been fired and thrown in jail! j/k

      Last weekend I was monitoring a bay on Tonka whether people were still driving out. I saw 6-7 vehicles. In one spot there were 4 trucks with 3 wheel houses. One of the houses was 20 ft+. On Sunday I arrived to see the sheriff put up a thin ice sign that 6 vehicles had driven past.   I returned to fish it last Wednesday late afternoon with 4 vehicles already out. Drove to the spot I fished 2 other times in the last month and drilled the first hole. LiveScope showed the fish 30-50 feet away. Drilled a cluster of 5 holes in that spot and game on. It was almost as fast as you could put your line down. A lot of up bites. After it slowed down on the small jigging spoon, I switched to a 4mm tungsten jig and caught more. The fish shifted 10 feet away once where one of the other holes was and then went back to the initial hole. For crappie, I ended up with a 13, a couple 12s, couple 11s, three 10s and a handful of 9s. Also 4 bluegill either side of 8” plus several smaller of both species. All fish were released. The pictures I posted are the 13 with me, both 12s an 11 and a dink. I measured them on a Li’l Dipper which is accurate from the middle of the hole at the top of the handle. I am going to order a Ketch board. The rod for the tungsten jig is a Tickle Stick and for the spoon a Panfish Sweetheart.   All three times I’ve fish this spot the big fish move out about 60-90 minutes before dark. I suppose they are moving to a different area (weedline?) to feed. If I get out to this spot again this year I’ll try and figure out where. When I drove off the bay there were still 6 other vehicles out.

      Yup. Bullseye on the Ricochet . Bit o simple St Pats humor as that’s how I live n guess this flows thru my fingers.   Always interesting to see how close guesses are here.   where my island is clears out before the bay n large sections of lake so that is fun also. In past a few times last 28 years I hit it right on. Silly icy fun Big Smiles n Keep on Rocken! T
