Milwaukee WI checking in. New to pinside, and relatively new to the pin hobby as well. Currently have a SF2, RS and freshly restored/shopped Gulfstream EM in the lineup. Attempting to breathe life back into a Lucky Ace EM, and always on the lookout for a PF replacement for my SMDM in storage. Also have about 15 arcade machines in The Garcade (http://www.arcade-museum.com/members/member_detail.php?member_id=439640).

Packer fan at heart, but ashamed to admit I am also a closet Vikings fan (family was from Faribault, MN).

I will be at MGC all weekend this year, and at Tom's place as well.

I'd be in for the mini-tourney.. I will be @ MGC all weekend anyway, and $10 is a cheap donation for a chump like me..

For the guys inquiring about bringing cash, there are a bunch of banks a few blocks north of the hotel with ATMs, as well as Brookfield Square Mall. Don't bet the ATM at the hotel will have any money in it...

And THAT, my friends, is why he calls himself "The Postmaster"... Who else would make it a point to hit every post in the game?

Hey... We don't appreciate your kind around here mister.. Low-life KLOV guy...

Hi Jason...

Any leads on April's get-together yet? We need to start knockin' heads to see who can host. Might need to start working on Dan W.... He still needs a few machines fixed, REPAIR PARTY!!!

Joe's isn't too far from me, 45min or so, he is right off of I43. I forgot he was interested in hosting, have to hit him up.

Throwback? It looks like the right colors. Just sent it to our friends in MN...

Do you guys want Finley too? Please?

Jennings will be missed, don't get me wrong, and going to the Vikes is more of an insult to the fans than anything else. Ponder is not an impressive QB, and while Jennings will help him spread the field and open the box for AP, he's not going to put up anywhere near the numbers he did while healthy with ARog.. He is also going to a team that has some potential, but is struggling to figure out who they really are. With Cobb's development, parting with Jennings was an easy decision for the Pack, pure dollars and sence. (doesn't mean I like it) Could you really imagine what life could have been like with a healthy Jennings/Nelson/Cobb/Jones? OMFG...

Finley sucks. Period. He started out with so much promise, got injured, and now he can't seem to get the fear out of his head mentally. 2 straight years of struggling with stone hands and a fear of going over the middle. If the pack wanted to keep/make cap space, he's prime real estate. We've cut players with more talent and less pay before, and I can only assume he has dirt on Ted Thompson...lol

The Pack need to start looking for a couple of key things. We NEED a marquee RB. I do not believe in FA for this. You need a young guy with lots of tread on his tires. This is where we need to focus our draft. Trade up, take a chance, and get a name... We are already a year late on this one, last years RB draft was much better. We really need to make an impact this year, man up and make the move.

Our FA window is closing fast. We needed to focus on our O-Line, and several key impact Guards are already off the table. If we are going to spend money anywhere, this is where it needs to happen. Protect ARog and open holes for our RBs.

D-Line, specifically run stop DE's, is the other place our FA money should be focused. Good D-Line players are hard to find, so spend the money and get the right guys for the 3-4 scheme. We got the LBs, but we need to hold the line up front. Hold your ground and let the LBs fill the holes/play zone.

Woodson will be missed at CB/S, but it was time. Age and injury was catching up with him. We have a great track record with developing CB/S, and many of those guys are now in their prime. Get the front figured out, and the back will fall into place.

Too bad, I was really looking forward to this...

Alas, I am too lazy to organize... this is my first MGC, and I really just want to go and enjoy without worry or responsibility.. That's partly why I am not bringing any games.
