The Pack game
Monday, September 24, 2007 at 11:29AM Went up to Milwaukee Saturday with Kevin after he ran a XC meet and finished in the ribbons for the third time in three meets (11th, then 10th, and this time 7th). Impressive as he's running with kids his age and one grade above.
We did 5 hours at Six Flags Great America on the way to Beer City, where we crashed at a nice Art Deco-style downtown hotel.
Up early Sunday we dash with all the rest of Milwaukee to the game, and hit the Packer Pro shop. I blow almost $400 on gear for family members so we'll all have the necessary look for coming games (Vonne and I will see two more games this year and all six of us will go to one as well). That store is like pure impulse buying for me, and my kids have caught on.
The game was great, as was the weather. I tried to not yell too much as I already strained my voice head coaching the XC team at the meet (coach couldn't come, so I got to hand Kev his ribbon, which was cool) and bought funky cool Packer receiver gloves to make sure I didn't beat my hands to a pulp (I'm a big clapper).
Bolts drove so well early on, it was scary.
Franks drops a TD in our zone in 1Q, so we settle for 3 after their first TD. Then we reel off 10 (Favre TD 418), only to let Chargers march down field for TD just before half.
When Bolts ground out another TD to start second half, I got a bit depressed.
But then Favre took over with 419 and 420 (with two close, inches-away other potential TD tosses killing another drive).
Barnett puts in "the dagger" with INT and we are rejoicing.
I've now seen Favre throw 20 in person at Lambeau, plus his 3rd 300-yard and 3rd 4th Q comeback drive.
First QB ever to win 150 games.
Was great to see him tie record, but favre better to see Pack go 3-0.
