Been wait'n all day for Sunday Night!!

[gary_in_neenah]

John's Forecast for Sunday here in Wisconsin indicates an Old Fashion Football game outdoors in the elements. Green Bay hosts the Lions at Lambeau Sunday Night with our first measurable snow for the season, hopefully the first of many snows to come this season.



Think Snow, lots of Snow and Go Packers!!

The snow is probably not going to be much of a factor. We've had flurries all day with about 2 inches on the ground. Still, outdoors at Lambeau with temps below freezing.

Think Snow and Go Packers!

It would probably be more of a game if the Lions weren't the opponent.

The Lions are due, they haven't won in Green Bay since like 1991 and if it keeps snowing it'll be slippery on the field after the tarps come off. This is the way they used to play, outdoors in bad weather conditions.

from the Journal Sentinel;
Green Bay - The first home game that Ron Wolf attended as general manager of the Green Bay Packers came on a sunny 10-degree afternoon at Lambeau Field in mid-December 1991.

Just 43,132 fans - about 16,000 below capacity - bothered to show up as the Packers played out a 4-12 season and the Detroit Lions prepared for the playoffs as NFC Central Division champs.

The Lions, three-point favorites, won the game, 21-17, in the fourth quarter when punter Paul McJulien out-kicked his coverage and Mel Gray ran it back 78 yards for a touchdown.

Little did anyone know at the time but, over the next 20 years, the Lions not only wouldn't win another game in Wisconsin but they'd be favored just once.

The Packers' 20-game winning streak at home against the Lions is the longest in National Football League regular-season history.

u r exactly right gary they r due and could easily beat us. Bears lost though so even if we lose not the end of the world. as i type this I just heard in the background on tv; unfortunately we have broke a record for the most consecutive days without snow...280 and counting. Measurable snow one inch or more I think they grade it on. I'm talking Milwaukee. Where I live we got 2 inches of wet slop. Supposed to be almost 50 by next saturday. And the drum beat goes on.

Though I live near Detroit, I'm not a Lions fan (I want them to win because they're the home team, but until the organization gets serious about winning and putting a quality product on the field I'll never call myself a fan). But, I do watch them regularly -- so trust me when I say that yeah, they may be due (well overdue would be more accurate), but it ain't going to happen tonight.

We're 40 miles south of GB and have 4 inches of snow on the ground and still coming down.
The snow plow just went by my house.

Half Time - Lions can do it if they stop turning it over.

Go Lions
