2018 Week 03

Packers 29 Viqueens 29

Where to start with last week’s game?  A wouldda, couldda shouldda sister kisser game.  The biggest thing was the Clay call at the end of regulation negating a game winning interception.  After the game Clay, admitting last week’s call was his fault, was at a loss for words to what he could have done different.

Packers Mount an Historic Comeback

How many times has it happened?  Not just for us, but league-wide, I mean?  A great player gets a monster contract, finally being paid what he’s worth and he goes down for a season or the rest of the season and the team is left with scraps again!  For the Packers, I remember Robert Brooks, Dorsey Levens, and now add Aaron R…NOT SO FAST!!

2018 Week 01

Packers Season 100 Starts NOW

 Well folks, we’re back.  This has been a season of many changes for us and the Packers.  Gone are the excuses to hate Capers and blame Ted, the fullback is now a thing of the past, the Jeff Janis experiment is over and gone is our beloved Jordy.

Are you Ready for Football!?

ARE YOU READY FOR SOME FOOTBALL!?

The season is finally here!  This Sunday night we kickoff the 100th season of Packer football with an 8:30 game against duh bears.  We will also be kicking off our new home, the HALL OF FAME SPORTS GRILL located at 531 Wade Hampton Blvd. (Greenville end of Wade Hampton next to the U-Haul place. Additional parking on west side of bar).  I know it’s a night game and many of us have early morning obligations but please consider coming for at least for the first half, to see the place, win some special prizes and show your support for our new host.

Please rsvp to greenvillepackerbackers@gmail.com if you will join us for the game so we can give HoF Grill a heads up on what to expect on game day.

The newsletter will be sent out later this week.  To help you out, here is week 1’s trivia question: During the Great Depression, George Halas had to borrow money from the Packers to meet his Bears payroll. How much did he borrow?

Packer Picnic 2018

Packer Picnic!

Greetings Greenville Packer Backers,

Only one week to get this party started.  On Saturday, July 28^th at 1:00 we will have our annual Packer Picnic.  Once again, we will be at the grounds of the Lynn Coleman estate in Travelers Rest, 1707 Geer Hwy to be exact.  All Packer (and football) fans are welcome.  For current club members, $5.00 and a dish to pass is all you need. Non-current members the cost is $8.00 plus the dish to pass.  For that cost, the club will provide the meat, buns & fixins, plus water, lemonade and tea.  Feel free to bring your own libations of your choice.  Want to save the $3.00, you can re-up at the picnic for the same cost as last year ($35 for new members, $30 for renewing members). 

This is an event all should try to attend as we will be reviewing where we will meet this year now that it looks like Chief’s is closed plus discussing how we, as a club, should move forward with prizes, pools, other game day activities and who will help make game day possible.  

Please RSVP to greenvillepackerbackers@gmail.com so I can get an accurate count for the meat.

Always Bleeding Green My Friends,

Packer John

2017 Week 18 YEE

Packers 11 Lyins 35

If you’re (really?) looking for a review of the final game at Detroit, look elsewhere because I won’t waste any breath or space on that joke that deserves to be forgotten. Much like the disaster that was the 2017 season.
