[QUOTE="leopardmech, post: 1501, member: 40"] My parents came to Canada from Scotland in '67 and my dad fell in love with American football and the Green Bay Packers. So when I was born I was named Vince after Coach Lombardi of course. Then as I got a little older I really thought that it was cool that I was named after him. In Canada back then we didn't get a lot of coverage of games so I was always having to read in the back of the Sports section for the Packers results. Now I have Sunday Ticket and the internet yahoo!!! All my friends growing up would jump on the bandwagons of the great teams at that time as kids do but I stuck true to my roots and cheered for this team that wasn't very good. As time went by I was then rewarded for my loyalty and "The Pack was Back". I have been to Lambeau twice but only once for a game. The Army posted me in July of '96 to Edmonton Alberta from Ontario, so we chose to drive through the states to get there. This of course meant that we could take a detour to Green Bay so I could go to the Hall of Fame and on the Stadium Tour. I felt like I was home. Then last year I finally got to my first game the Playoff game against Seattle. I figured Lambeau field in January in the playoffs can it get any better and it did they won!!!! This is my story of why I bleed green and gold. Later Leopardmech [/QUOTE]
