Official 2015 Fire Slocum! Thread

[pbmax]

Common Roots:

Ted Thompson from Atlanta , Texas; played LBer at Southern Methodist University, Texas.

Shawn Slocum graduated from Bryan High School in Bryan, Texas; played LBer at Texas A & M University.

Those towns are 210 miles apart. That's like saying residents of Madison, WI and St. Paul Minnesota share roots. Possible, but you really don't know anything.

Not to mention the 12 year difference in their ages.

Simply a small point pbmax....not damning !

Some fans want to point to a small common connection for Mike McCarthy and Shawn Slocum from early in their coaching careers. That's IMO smaller than hailing from TEXAS.

TT and Shawn Slocum: Roots... common roots: TEXAS and again...NOT DAMNING.



The bigger picture:

What this will come down to in this off season is intent described by action and nothing else.

Packer Nation deserves to see change. It's got to happen NOW not two-three seasons from now.

I do understand Ted Thompson's Brides Maid mentality but for the vast majority of Packer Nation hopefully that doesn't wash.
