Wisconsin is known for their cheese, beer and I'd add football. Green Bay Packer fans are hardcore fans. They are loud and proud and will make sure you know they're around. We love our Packers so much, we even stick around during years of mostly losses (not to say it isn't heart breaking). There's just something so unique about those fans that choose to wear cheese on their head. As a fan myself, I understand that love. So I'm sure all you fans out there had some similar thoughts in the last 30 seconds of regulation as I did Saturday night. Here are 10 thoughts that ran through my head (but mostly out of my mouth).
1. I hate the Cardinals almost as much as I hate the Seahawks.
And that's saying something.
2. Time for redemption Pack!!
The last game was brutal. They looked pathetic and are back for redemption.
3. Why do we always have to make a come back??
Seriously though? It's pretty often that we see the packers trail going into half and end up coming back (or close) in the second half.
4. *drinking a Wisconsin beer* This is probably good luck.
You support the team, you support the state. The superstition is real.
5. GO PACK GO!
Such a fun chant. I love when I can hear the fans through the T.V. chanting GO PACK GO!
6. Can we get a pass interference call? Seriously??
Don't even get me started. There were quite a few missed calls in critical, game-changing situations. Such horse poop.
7. So much anxiety.
Such a stressful game. The final moments were unbearable. "Do I watch or no??"
8. Please God let us win this game.
Prayed to the football God's over and over that the Packers could come through with the W.
9. HAIL MARY BABY!!!!!! *sobbing tears of joy*
Best moment ever. Did anyone think this would ever happen twice? So incredible, and we still had a chance.
10. This time we aren't going to lose in OT.
OT again. This time we win. Lets gooooooooo.
And if you were watching the game like me, you know the level anxiety there was in those last 30 seconds. That second hail mary of the season! It was gut wrenching. Although, I think losing in overtime by a touchdown AGAIN to the cardinals in play-offs just like back in '09 felt, for all us cheeseheads, like someone had ripped our hearts out. Especially since I said this time we weren't losing in OT. Probably jinxed it. Piece of advice? It's probably best if you don't talk to any Packer fans for awhile.
