[QUOTE="DiGringo, post: 314787, member: 3302"] Hey word on the street is this is the place to introduce yourself! :rules2: Greetings fellow Packer Backers, I'm a 29 year old Green Bay Packer fan. Have been for over half my life now, and I absolutely love this team. I was born in NE, but raised in MN. Growing up, I've always hated the color purple. I went to my first crykings game at the metrodump way back when I was 5 or 6? I don't remember what age I was, but I would cheer on the other team, since the vikes always wore purple. My family didn't quite understand why I wasn't rooting for the team they brought me to see, but no way in HELL I'd root for a purple-clad bunch of panzies! :viksux: That lil story is kinda how I adopted the Packers as my favorite team. Living in MN, I have always tried to go against the grain and it seems people here always hated the Green Bay Packers.
