Packers president thinks Lambeau Super Bowl is "intriguing"· Page 2

The Ice Bowl is a historic game.

The Ice Bowl is also a game of which some people are still feeling the hypothermia effects today. The game where the teams racked up just over 200 yards passing. The game where they ran the ball about 40 times each and didn't even get a 100 yards. In reality, it pretty much sucked. It's just the epic ending and extreme weather that makes it a classic.

Very much like "The Greatest Game Ever Played", which really wasn't that great.

While I understand and agree with your point it is not exactly accurate. They rushed 33 and 32 times for 90 & 82 yards. If they had rushed 40 they both could have been over 100 yards.

I like to over-do it.

It still stand, though. In 40 carries, they would've gone over a 100 yards. Thing is, if you don't get over 100 in 30, you're having a pretty bad game. And with both of these teams, you expect them to go over 100 yards with 30 carries every single game. The field was just horrible and the conditions were awful.

You're right, with an attitude of "we can't" it will never happen. Hopefully, someone with a "we can" attitude comes along and makes it happen. Then the first party will say "what happened".

Green Bay should have a Super Bowl and so should Chicago, they're charter members not Texas, Tampa, Miami etc. I know it most likely will never happen but that doesn't mean it shouldn't and couldn't.

I like the cruise ship idea, are the rooms heated? LOL I don't buy the motel excuse. You could get to Lambeau quicker from Milwaukee and Madison quicker that from most spots in the big cities and suburbs of the big cities and would most likely cost less also considering motel and gas costs.

The weather could be a challenge. But with the 100's of millions of dollars it would bring in you would think some bright engineer could come up with a temporary dome. The temp doesn't have to be 70 degrees. If it's -10 and you just raise it to +10 with no wind all the player would be wairing short sleeves. At least the Packers would it they were in it!

Hmmm.. I know this certain VR feller with an engineering degree.. but we would have to wipe that idea out.. since it would be tinted purple.

We have a recent graduate with an engineering degree upon forum.. wonder what type of idea he could hatch together.. ;)

That said.. I don't think the average NFL fan would object to a SB in Green Bay.. I think Corporate America would have a fit and like it or not.. the SB isn't a fan's game anymore.. it is chasing that corporate dollar... I just don't see it happening.

Would love it though.. should be how the game is played.

And what a travesty it is. I still remember leaving that enlarged bingo parlor after the one game I went to see there, and having the pressurization push me out the door. It was like God didn't want me to be there. I'm fine never going back.

If anyone doubts if it's a fan's game or headed up for Corporate America, just look into how much it costs for a 30 second commercial during the Super Bowl.

Prediction:
1. The NY/New Jersey Super Bowl will, despite record efforts at hype by the NFL, be a record flop.
2. Because of #1, the "cold weather super bowl" experiment will be a one and out.

Selling the "Frozen Tundra", Titletown, Lombardi, Ice Bowl tradition, is one thing. Selling whatever that stadium they play in NY is? Hahahha.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Martha Careful (18h) : thank you Mucky for sticking up for me

Martha Careful (18h) : some of those people are smarter than you zero. However Pete Carroll is not

Mucky Tundra (21h) : Rude!

beast (22h) : Martha? 😋

Zero2Cool (24-Jan) : Raiders hired someone from the elderly home.

dfosterf (24-Jan) : I'm going with a combination of the two.

beast (24-Jan) : Either the Cowboys have no idea what they're doing, or they're targeting their former OC, currently the Eagles OC

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Fake news. Cowboys say no

Zero2Cool (23-Jan) : Mystery candidate in the Cowboys head coaching search believed to be Packers ST Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.

beast (23-Jan) : Also why do both NYC teams have absolutely horrible OL for over a decade?

beast (23-Jan) : I wonder why the Jets always hire defensive coaches to be head coach

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you

wpr (22-Jan) : Z, glad you are feeling better.

wpr (22-Jan) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.

wpr (22-Jan) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.

Zero2Cool (22-Jan) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : just kidding...it was down

Martha Careful (22-Jan) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor

dfosterf (22-Jan) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious

beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere

beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.

beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.

beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...

beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered

wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.

wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.

wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.

Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : FG to make it academic

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : and there's the dagger

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooo 8 point game with 4 minutes to go!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : ooooooooohhhhhh he missed!

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Ooooo that completion makes things VERY interesting

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Game not over yet

beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury

beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State

beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled

Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond

Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
