FROM THE SUBLIME TO THE RIDICULOUS, PART 13

The Current Packer Backers Get Together
(L-R) Steve & Jane Crawley - Slimmed Down Me and Timmer

SUBLIME

I wracked my brain to find something sublime about the state of the Packers heading into the playoffs. However, the Packers have lost two straight games and had their streak of 4 straight North Division championships snapped. Nothing sublime about that.

So I went far and wide in search of sublimeness and while that search was unsuccessful I only had to make a phone call and some of the best Packers fans you would ever want to watch a game with came a running.

I started watching the game at the bar with Jane and Steve Crawley in 2008 and when they are in town we still get together. In fact, they came over to Timmer and Therese's house on Dec. 13 and if that's not a sublime picture I don't know what is.

Being with Steve and Jane got me thinking about Packer Backers past so here's a sublime picture of the Southern Illinois Packer Backers No. 3 for you to meet. Sadly Treasha passed on almost three years ago. In her obituary it was noted she was known for her love of the Green Bay Packers.

What's in a Name?

A comment on Cheesehead TV got me thinking about something I have thought about a lot when I have time to think, which at times is a lot and at other times not so much with my feast and famine schedule.

Out, Out, Damn G-Force

The messy divorce between the Viking mascot Ragnar and the powers-that-be had someone say the Vikings could buy the "G-Force" stuff at a cheap price to replace him. I would give them all of the stuff, including the huge G-Force flag they use when the team comes out of the gangway, for free and throw in 24 bratwursts and a case of Milwaukee's Best to sweeten the deal.
