[Hooky]

I got him in a yahoo autodraft in one league. The default line-up by rank said to play Delanie Walker this week. I didn't.

[Hint of Snow]

Green Bay = Milwaukee market.    Which is the largest city in Wisconsin.     The Packers used to play a portion of their season in Milwaukee and the season ticket package include "Milwaukee games" for former ticket holders when the Packers went back to playing full time in Green Bay.

Story time

Damn you Scharm

I had the unique pleasure of our family having these Milwaukee/Packers tix from 1977-1982.
3 "Real" games and one exhibition game in County Stadium. The Shriners game. May have been the 3rd one. When people still got excited about this sort of thing.
Believe it or not, you young folk,  the Packers were AWFUL for a long time and had a migraine inducing 9 years of Bart Starr as Head Coach. I get to add this to my Shula/Coslet/Lebeau crappy coach endurance brags

As I recall, we had one season where we started 7-0-1 and made the cover of SI only to go 8-7-1 for the season and lose the tie-breaker to Minnesota and miss the playoffs.

I did attend the playoff game below. Against the Cardinals in the brutal cold. They won and went on to lose the Cowboys in the next round in somewhat of a shootout.

Favorite memory of the game was, at that time, $1 garnered you one (glass) bottle long neck which the locals tended to toss at the beer vendor when empty and they wanted another.

Good times.

Again, as I recall.

 

While Starr was a player, the Packers won five NFL championships and the first two Super Bowls. As coach, Starr's Packers had an overall regular-season record of 52 wins, 76 losses and three ties from 1975 through 1983. The team reached the playoffs only once — in the strike-shortened 1982 season.
