house in illinois either,esp here in northern illinois. if you travel the back roads from illinois to wisconsin you can tell the state line by the green bay packer signs on the houses,cars/trucks,and mailboxes.
packers decal on your 4 wheel drive pick`m up truck? you don`t have a packers flag flying year round? you didn`t have a giant blow-up doll of saint brett in your front yard? whats wrong? nothing at all.
My wife grew up just a few miles south of Green Bay and is not really all that interested in football. One the other hand, when she does on occasion watch the Packers (mostly just during the playoffs), she always roots for them.
9. This aftenoon the streets will be dead quiet during game time
If I went to the mall or a movie, I'd have the place to myself. Actually I've heard game scores announced in department stores. It's MORE than religion in Wisconsin.
11. I live in Wisconsin and like them but am a Life long Viking
I like them because they are a democratic team. People have part ownership and are therefore not under complete corporate control or by one rich owner.
It's not a bad obsession and they really believe when they lose they'll be back and often are. they have a tradition of success that I envy and when they win they don't go insane, only insanely happy.
