How Did You Become a Packer Fan?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I was born in a little log cabin in northern Wisconsin where I divided my time between rail splitting and cherry tree chopping. I had to walk 20 miles to the nearest tavern, where I quickly became a fan of the black-and-grey. (We did not have color TV)

Bullshit. Nobody in Wisconsin lives 20 miles from the nearest tavern.

Born and raised in Wausau. Started to watch the Packers with my dad in the mid 70's. I remember how emotional he would get during games and how many interesting curse words I learned at a young age. In retrospect, it's amazing that I became a Packer fan after watching him go through so much torture week after week. But I guess that's just what we did in Wisconsin . Coincidentally, my HS football team, DC Everest, had the same colors as the Packers, except for green helmets. I always thought that was pretty cool.

I live in St. Paul now but could never see switching teams. I'm just not sure how people are able to do that. When I think of cheering for the vikings I just feel dirty. Yuck!
