Still probably the most dramatic football game ever played.

With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud

Ya, on the NFL Network they had an program called, “Timeline” that was really good.
It was narrated and directed by Don Meredith.
Really showed how much the game effected the lives of the players and their families.
That final drive by the Packers to win the game was legendary.Comment

How many of you here were at that game? My parents wouldn't let me go (I was only 13 at the time) but my hubby went with his dad. He froze his ass that day. Back then they didn't have the clothing and hand/toe warmers we have today. His feet are now messed up from it. His toes constantly tingle. He's sorry he didn't keep his ticket stub.Comment

Looking at the first of the three "sneak" photos I posted, Chuck Howley is in pretty good position to come down the line to make a play. Who got the block? Gregg?I can't run no more

That looks like 81 attempting the block so it would have been Marv Flemming. If Bart had given the ball to Mercein as called, Howley might have make the stop short of the goal line. Watched that game live as a kid and still enjoy watching the narrated versions of the Ice Bowl.Originally posted by Joemailman View PostComment

I went to the game with my uncle after my aunt used her smarts and stayed home. It was a sunny cold day at the start. By the end of the ball game, it was a frozen hell. It's the second coldest thing I've erver done. It took about 3 years for the frost bite to leave my foot. Those pictures are great.
One thing I've never seen shown is the fog created by people's breath. That one photo shows it pretty well, but it was much thicker in real time.
I started out in our seats on the east side and moved over to the South end zone to warm my feet by a fire they started down there.
Donny Anderson scored on the first down play on the goal line, but the refs missed it.Comment

Where were your seats? My dad sat in section 24 row 30 in seats 1 & 2 (he still has them). My hubby's Dad's tickets were in the end zone where Bart scored the winning TD.Originally posted by KYPack View PostComment

I saw that game on TV.
Bart Starr's game winning QB Sneak was an incredible moment in Green Bay Packer History.
I was sitting about 1 foot from the TV...and that was a huge moment of celebration !
