Our TV will definitely be on this game.
Living in Madison, WI from 1948 until 1967, I was an avid Green Bay Packer's fan during the Lombardi years from 1959 through 1967. Here is what Green Bay did during those years, as shown on the official Green Bay Packer website.
"In his first season, 1959, Lombardi went 7-5, winning unanimous 'Coach of the Year' recognition. Then in 1960, the Packers captured the Western Division title, only to lose the NFL title game at Philadelphia. However, Lombardi rebounded to win world championships in 1961, '62, '65, '66, and '67.
His teams finished no lower than second from 1960-67 and became the standard of football excellence. In nine years, Lombardi went 98-30-4 (.766), including 9-1 in postseason, winning his final nine playoff games."
Even though I'm now a Colt's fan, I will be glued to the TV to see what happen's in tonight's game.
