Greatest Packer Game Ever

I know that their have been better Packer games. But not a better one that I attended in person. I went to the game with JFK, who is Krum's dad. We parked near the Stadium View Bar around 10:30 in the morning. We quickly headed to a bar for a drink or two. Then around 1:00 we headed back to the car and tailgated a little bit. I fired up the grill and broke out the beer bong. The beer bong was a pretty big hit with those that were tailgating around us. I had one older gentlemen give it a try, he nearly finished bonging a beer when it went down the wrong tube and he then spit the rest of the beer out. It must have shot out ten feet up in the air. I always enjoy when someone comes up to give it a shot and they say how fast the can bong a beer. I normally go right after them and say, "Don't blink or you will miss it." Around 2:30 or so, JFK and I headed for the stadium. I thought it was a little early to get the stadium. But then we spent a good share of time mingling with the "professional" tailgaters parked in the stadium parking lot. I had my gorilla suit on, and I got stopped a number of times for pictures. And then people would offer me beer or food. It was just great. We got to our seats. Not that their is a bad seat at Lambeau, but ours were great. We were perched out 26 rows up on the 30 yard line. The atmosphere in the stadium was near electric. Even as Seattle went in for their second touchdown with only 4 minutes gone in the game, the crowd was so loud. In fact I think that was the loudest that the crowd was all day. I thoroughly enjoyed the game. The second half of the game, with the outcome no longer in doubt was just a great time to relax and soak in the victory. Madison's band was at the game and they did the 5th quarter. The band was just running around the field, throwing snowballs or making snow angels. I would have been acting the same way if I had been on the field. After the game, JFK and I mingled around the tailgaters by the stadium again. We stopped by this one group, that had a TV with the Patriots game on in the back of the their truck. After a couple of minutes of small talk with this big guy named Steve, Steve pulled out a bottle of Jim Beam Rye and said "Let's quit screwing around and celebrate." He quickly took a long pull off the bottle and handed it to me. At first, the liquor tasted good because it was so cold, but it quickly burned my entire inside at which point I told JFK it was time to move on. We stopped in at a bar and had a burger and then headed back down to Appleton. Once in Appleton, JFK and I headed down to College Ave to meet up with my friend, Ryan. Surprisingly, we were out until around 1:30 in the morning, still celebrating the victory. As I said the best game I have ever been to. Chris and Rebecca, the Charger game comes in second. The fact that it was a playoff game and the added element of the snow just vaulted it easily to the top of the list. Here are the pictures from the day.
This is JFK giving one of our fellow tailgaters, Juice, a hand with the beer bong. Juice was a real piece of work. He didn't have a ticket to the game, but was there to party anyhow. We ran into Juice after the game, apparently he got a $900 disorderly conduct ticket while the game was going on. We then crossed paths with Juice one last time as we were leaving for Appleton. Juice could barely stand at that point, I mentioned to JFK that we might be better off not conversing with Juice. JFK agreed.Here is the National Anthem.That Packers coming to the line of scrimmage. What a cool picture, with the field dusted with snow and Brett coming up behind center. This is one of the Ryan Grant touchdowns. If you look close, you can see I managed to snap this picture right as Grant is crossing the goal line. Me and JFK.
Another Packer touchdown. Note Brett in the lower right hand corner, arms raised on celebration.42 - 20. Could anyone have predicted this? JFK and I after the game.I really wish I had taken more pictures during the day. This is one of the only pictures I got in the bars after the game. We were up front by the band, and I met these two girls. I managed to talk them into kissing each other. It really was that hard to get them to do it either.
