Tailgate rules- Retiring the Number

I was looking through the training camp picture files and couldn't help thinking that we won't be seeing this familiar image next summer.  It was always the guaranteed hit of training camp. ( Of course until last year when we went while Favre was at a family funeral.)  It was the return to City Stadium, early in training camp of 2007 and no Favre.  The team looked terrible too.  Looking back now means so much that we saw was historic in the storied franchise history.  I look forward to the opener when they retire #4.  .....Another historic moment.

Tailgate rules- Gear up for the opener!

It is time to get excited about the opener!

Now that the schedule is out for next year, start getting mentally ready for the opening game of the season.

It has been our tradition to go to the opener since 1991. My dad liked the warm weather and the excitement in the air is unlike any other game.  No one has lost yet and hope is in large supply.

This is a shot from last years Philly game.

Tailgate etiquette-Play along

If you happen to be tailgating at Lambeau and a guy dressed like St. Vincent comes along, try not be be offended by his costume.  It is all in good fun.  At times we joke about football as a religion but that is what it is, just a joke.  I think you can enjoy it without going too far.  Speaking of too far, we can drop the "Our Favre" now from the Packer fan prayer list.  That was going overboard.

Tailgate etiquette-Celebrate the birth of a fan.

On this day, April 8th in 1982 in Mankato, Minnesota a true Packer fan was born.

Happy Birthday Jeff!
