Pickleball - Bears vs. Packers Rivalry - Jersey Night

On the NIP sidelines it is common for queued Pickleball players to talk about NFL football. The rivalry between the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers began in 1921, and has grown to be the league's longest rivalry. This weekend marks the second time the Bears and Packers will meet in NFL Playoff History. The last time this playoff challenge happened was 70 years ago, December 14, 1941. The game was in the middle of WWII and just one week after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The Bears won that day 33-14.

This season each team has won the rivalry game on their own turf. The Bears have home field advantage for the playoff game this Sunday, but can they sack the Pack? Whichever team wins Sunday's game will go onto Super Bowl XLV.

To further spawn the rivalry we'll have Jersey Night! Show support for your team and wear your team's jersey to ISC on Friday night, 6pm-8pm! If you don't have a jersey just wear your team's colors - navy & orange or green & gold. It's all in clean fun, and may all players survive injury free (NFL players and Pickleball players alike)!

After Pickleball hang out and join us for a drink!
