[QUOTE="OkiePacker, post: 1063869, member: 18587"] New Packer fan from Oklahoma here! I've been a lifelong Oklahoma State Cowboys fan. College football has been my favorite sport since I can remember. Well, it sucks now. And I'm saying that only partly because we went 3-9 last season. I could go on a long rant, but I think even you guys in Big 10 country get it. Di$ney and the $EC can absolutely suck it. Anyway, I'm in my 30's and have never consistently watched NFL football until recently. Oklahoma is 100% college sports. Even with the Thunder in town, college football rules the Fall. So with its decline, I had to look elsewhere. I did NOT want to be a Dallas Cowboys fan. That'd be like being an OU Sooners fan. No thanks. Kansas City is the next closest, but I don't bandwagon. At this point in time, a few years ago when I was just starting to watch and follow the NFL more, I happened to work with a couple of diehard NFL fans who have since become good friends of mine. One was an LA Rams fan. The other a Green Bay Packers fan. I mean the first one was just a nonstarter for me. Large market team with all the money and a brand new stadium? That's just too easy. Too superficial. He's originally from LA, so it's cool. But that's just not for me. What about Green Bay? I've never given the team much thought. Ever. One Fall Saturday, both said friends joined me tailgating for an OSU game and the Packer fan made a comment about how driving into Stillwater through town to Boone Pickens Stadium reminded her of Green Bay and Lambeau. What? I was then informed that Lambeau sits in a residential neighborhood and even has a similar facade to BPS. Well that's just charming as hell! And Green Bay is the smallest city in the NFL being half the size of Wichita? That's right up my alley! Owned by the fans!? Stop. That's perfect. I love a program that does more with less. That punches "above" its weight. That's Oklahoma State, and that's Green Bay. I've been following for the past few seasons now. Alright I've been typing long enough, but now the big kicker. The aforementioned friend and her husband, my wife and I, and another couple will be making the trip up from Oklahoma the weekend of November 2 for the Panthers game. It will be my first ever NFL game. I'm very excited. It's 5 months away but I thought I'd introduce myself, get to know some of you, and maybe get some tips, recommendations, among other things. Oh, and you'll love Collin Oliver. [/QUOTE]
