Sorry but I have to..... Wisconsin sucks to live in. Football is all you have.

What do you call a Packer fan with half a brain?

A half-wit?

A swiss cheese head?

Hahaha.....

I think the Packers are going to fade and get rusty with all this time off.

Don't forget beer and cheese. World class hunting and fishing. The Milwaukee Brewers
Wisconsin ranks first in the production of corn for silage, cranberries, ginseng, and snap beans for processing. Wisconsin is also a leading producer of oats, potatoes, carrots, tart cherries, maple syrup, and sweet corn for processing.

Have you ever lived there? The central and south are a bit boring I will admit. The north, where I grew up, is mostly lakes and forest.

My GF's family has a summer home on Lake Wisconsin, we go there every other summer. Nice area. Wisconsin Dells. Nice hiking trails too. I don't care much for the poison ivy and mosquitoes, otherwise its beautiful and green.

Oh yes, the sweet corn is awesome. Colorado corn is for feeding cows.

My problem is the humidity, bugs and cold. Colorado is way better.

Last year, the Packers won a Super Bowl with one of the most banged-up rosters in the league. This year, the team appears to be heading into the playoffs as healthy as it’s been all season.

Head Coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday that he expects to have a fully healed roster for the first playoff game, slated for Jan. 15.

The team will practice on Wednesday and Thursday this week before getting the weekend off and then returning next Monday for meetings and walk-throughs. Practice then resumes next Wednesday with the usual three workouts leading up to the game.

The Packers could know their playoff opponent as soon as Saturday night if the Lions beat the Saints in the wild-card round. That would send Detroit back to Lambeau Field. If New Orleans wins on Saturday night, the Packers would get the winner of Sunday’s Falcons-Giants game.

If their offense scrimages their defence during the break it should be enough to keep the rust off.

So you lived there or just visited? Where?

What do you mean where? Bug, humidity and cold are everywhere in that state. LOL

Let me ask you this? Why are you in Colorado? :pop

I might agree, but if you only lived or visited a part of the state, like the Dells or Milwaukee, then you based an opinion on a poor choice of Wisconsin towns to begin with. All states have bugs and weather conditions that are at times not preferable. That is not a very good arguement. That is why bug repellant and light colored, breathable fabrics were invented.

It sure isn't for their sports teams. Or the brown cloud, drought, fire dangers or the crappy roads. I moved here to spread Packer cheer. And the mountains they have in Wisconsin are not big enough.

I moved here for a job back in 1999 from Chicago. We stayed because after I was laid off 3 years later, we could not sell our home and put too much into it to leave it. If they could grow bigger mountains in WI, and our house burnt down, I'd have been back yesterday.
