2008 RECAP: O & 16 OR BUST!

Game: W over . . . wait for it . . . THE DETROIT LIONS! 31-21 on 12/28/08.

Highlights:

Direct from "the new stadium" the return of the John D. Nickel memorial hat. Best gift I got all year.

Lions make history as the first NFL team to go winless in a 16 game season. For the record it was our 4th straight and 7th overall Lions-Packer game.

The Return of Brady after an absence of several years. Hope to see you in 09.

A vist to the Oval Office including a land speed record for a forced exit. I swear we weren't there for more than 90 seconds before one of us was kicked out. Care to guess who?

Special guest appearance by noted heavy drinkers DJ Rein and Mike "Mad Stork" Nichols. Good to see you guys again Next time try to stay up past 10:00 pm!

Our man on the inside of the Packers organization, NMU Alum Bill Hawker leaves a gift for us in the limo. How thoughtful of you Bill!

Note to self: don't take the Mayor to Anduzzi's on Saturday night! All is forgiven as we head to Anduzzi's on Sunday night.

Post-game cameo by Hammerin Hank Sweeney at the 50 Yard Line Club (or was it the Stadium View, I always get those 2 mixed up).

Stitch Jones no-show, keeping the streak alive.

Quotes: Don't remember any, but I am sure you were all your usual witty selves.
