See James--you try to write about how much you wish you could ignore football, and you end up thinking more about football than you probably have in years. YOU CAN'T WIN! WE CONTROL THE UNIVERSE!

No amount of ear-fingering will be able to block my rendition of the Superbowl Shuffle. They call me Sweetness, and I like to dance Runnin' the ball is like makin' romance

Granted, I now have my fingers in my ears and am singing "la la la" over and over to block out the Bears noise. But since I really just don't care about football, I'd do the same for Packer chatter.

26-0!! Bear Down, Chicago Bears. Make every play clear the way to victory! Bear Down, Chicago Bears. Put up a fight with a might so fearlessly!

In Green Bay itself, I have no doubt that Packermania was inescapable. On a private liberal arts campus in Appleton, though, I could keep it to manageable doses. Though there was still an awful lot of it. It probably would've been worse if there were a bunch of Bears fans around to keep the circle of taunts alive.

reading...It's easier to avoid Packer-themed jibber-jabber in the shadow of Green Bay than it is to avoid Dawgs and Cougs exchanging antique insults and warmed-over jokes originally told about more interesting teams.what planet are you from?! lol. I grew up in green bay and you couldn't go to the grocery store without hearing the game on the PA. in middle school (named after vincent t. lombardi) my social studies teacher dedicated an entire wall to stats from the season. each week's score would be added each week and at the end of the season the student(s) who correctly predicted the packers' season record would get free green and gold pencils. I'm sure the apple cup is a pain in overblown... but seriously dude.but i understand where you're going with it. i just felt obligated to flip you some guff ;)
