Your eyes bounce from game to game, from date to date. And when your Packers are playing, nothing but death and visiting in-laws stand in the way. Entire seasons hinge on when the Packers are home. Fortunes are made and lost by Monday night appearances.
Romances bloom and die depending on the availability of tickets.
It's no way to live, you know. Then again, there is nothing quite like those days in late March and early April when the anticipation grows regarding the Packers' upcoming schedule. For weeks, your friendly local newspaper's sports department has been deluged with phone calls by anxious fans wanting to know when the schedule is coming out so they can book that bar mitzvah. This week, the wait ended and the Packers announced their plans for the final four months of the year. It's a decent schedule, in terms of how it shakes out for your heroes.
