Fans by Default

We often tell the story of Brett's now-coworkers wanting to know two things about him after he had been hired. You know, those topics that you can't exactly bring up in the interviewing process. Those two things were 1) religion and 2) football affiliation (not necessary in that order). The faculty has quite a variety when it comes to religious practices. They have Lutherans, Catholics, a Mormsn, a Jew, some new ageyness, so they were really not too concerned where Brett fell...mainly curious. But football affiliation...now that is important. Since we had been in Texas for 7 years they thought maybe he was a Cowboy fan, he grew up in South Dakota so they thought he could be a Denver fan. What they were really concerned about was, however, that he could, by some horrible fate, be a...dare I say it....a Vikings fan.

Thanks to Brett's dad for supplying him with what he needed he was able to put their worries to rest. His allegiance of course is with the Packers!
