    I was at this game , an 11 year old kid with my Dad and two brothers . When you’re that age , you don’t realize the significance of what you’re watching , just that you’re cold , you want your team to win , and to go home and warm up . Now at age 64 , still a die-hard Packer fan , I rank that memory up with the birth of my children . Never to be duplicated .

      They must have been really frozen by the end of the game, unless they left early.
      Thanks for sharing that memory. I was about to turn 9 when the Ice Bowl was played, and still a year before I got hooked on football. I became a Packer fan when I read Bart Starr's (paperback) biography in the 4th grade.
      I watch these highlights and I can name every player on the Packers roster.

    • @Stacie45
      @Stacie45 Před 8 lety +1

      +Mark Muffs You don't usually get much snow when it is that cold, because the air can't hold enough moisture for snow. It snows heavy when the temp is within about 10 degrees of freezing. And it is actually colder to be out in it when it is right around freezing, because everything gets wet. When it is super cold everything is dry. The frozen solid field would be like concrete, compared to cold mud, but a different kind of cold from 30 degrees and soaking wet.

      It should be called The Belichick Trophy, not the Lombardi Trophy.
      1) Bellichick never cheated. Goodell redefined terms in the rules after the fact to take the Pats' picks away in '07 and completely fabricated the "deflation" claims. Tons of scientific evidence has exonerated the Patriots for that including the experiments done by Ainissa Ramirez.
      2) Lombardi was implicated in the biggest cheating scandal in the history of football-- at the very least, he let cadets cheat on military examinations, and there is significant evidence that he tampered with military exams to try to win at Westpoint. It took decades for Westpoint football to recover, and it had to expel 43 of 45 players.

Total commitment, total concentration, total perseverance in the face of excruciating pain, and the absolute refusal to be defeated. It was about a team held together by love......TOUGH love......given by a man who will always rank number one as a leader of men, and who is an example of what can be achieved in ANY field of endeavour in our great and free nation .

I was given a ticket to a "Historic NFC-Championship game as Vince Lombardi guided the Packers to Victory!" God has guided my life with a love for the game of football. Father Mark Schommer a native of Kaukauna was a "Packers-Team Chaplin and a family-friend who played for the Packers" as a "Walk-on from UW-Stevens Point." Later, I was a similar story as a "Walk-on Player" at UW-Stout! Love for football came from a "Love" for the Packers and the demanding rough-game. The "Ice-Bowl defines a Frozen-Tundra as TITLE TOWN-USA!" In later years I was a "Packers-Ticket-Taker" from 1977 to 1987 and that was an "Honor" for this game!

    The epitome of a team and a coach. During his nine seasons in Green Bay, Vince Lombardi elevated the Packers to unprecedented stature as the games greatest team. Lombardi was so much more than a coach. He was the very symbol of dedication and striving to attain. In any pursuit of man. It is also a proven fact that Lombardi is footballs only coach that could take any team and win. IMMEDIATELY!!! Bill Walsh, Tom Landry, Chuck Noll and nearly every other coaching icon struggled miserably at the onset of their careers. Lombardi took a Green Bay team that was almost out of business. In two years they were playing for the title. In his one season with a horrendous Washington Redskins team he turned them into winners. Lombardi was so good he even coached a High School Basketball team to a State Title!! This despite having almost no basic knowledge of the game. He took a Basketball Manual, used it as a guide and drove his team to victory after victory. Lombardis only weakness was that he was so driven it compromised his well being. During his reign however, no coach will ever match him. And no coach ever will. Five Championships in seven seasons. Choke on that Bill Belichick!!

      There are many "old football games online" which show they were much more defense and running-oriented.
      This game was much more, though, about arguably the greatest human test of will - not just football, but being able to perform as world class athletes in any way, shape or form - in the harshest conditions any game in any major team sport worldwide has ever led world-class athletes to endure. There was the storyline of the previous year's championship game, for which Dallas was aiming for pain-filled revenge. Then there was the greatest storyline - the Packers playing for an un-matched third straight league championship and the final game Vince Lombardi would ever coach at home for the Packers. Add the incredible drama of how the game ended. Put those factors together..best...game...ever.

    • @ZiPolishHammer
      @ZiPolishHammer Před 8 lety

      Tim Tebow's Left Arm Eh, to each their own I guess. I preferred modern football before the rules protecting receivers and QB's came into effect. 90's and early 2000's. Needed a balanced offense and good defense to win. Wideouts would get punished for going over the middle, and dominant defenses could impact the game just as much as QB's. With the modern ruled the best QB's can just have their way and there's very little the defense can even do without being penalized. Can you imagine Brady trying to do his thing against the '85 Bears playing by the old rules? He wouldn't make it through one half.

    • @timtebowsleftarm5368
      @timtebowsleftarm5368 Před 8 lety

      The quick-rhythm passing game he's become an expert at? He and the modern Pats might tear up the '85 Bears. Same with Rodgers and company at their best (not recent weeks). But few would.

    • @ZiPolishHammer
      @ZiPolishHammer Před 8 lety

      Tim Tebow's Left Arm With old rules linebackers and safeties would be allowed to drill receivers on slants and hitches. Take a look at Torry Holts fingers, you think Edelman's bitch ass is coming over the middle for check down passes 20 times a game? No way in hell. Furthermore as a pass rusher you were allowed to let your momentum carry you through after the QB released the ball. Brady would die.

  • @spryfol

    One of the beauties of sports is the top dog, (Packers) and the young guns trying to knock them off (Cowboys)! We see this often, and most times it delivers a high impact, memorable game. Add in a win or go home scenario and you get "classics"! Its what made the NFL what it is today. When you break it down, these games stay with us. The Ice Bowl will forever be a game that will be a benchmark game. The real tragedy of this game is not how the Cowboys lost, but who erased this game for CBS? You can't tell me that when it was over someone didn't call New York and say, "save this"? Someone, has got to have a copy of this somewhere. If the NFL Network played "The Ice Bowl" like they did Super Bowl I it really might just break some ratings records.

      The networks in those days did a very poor job of archiving their product. NBC unfortunately either deleted, or taped over many Johnny Carson Tonight Shows that were done in NYC prior to the show moving west, and a ton of great material is now lost forever.

      44excalibur Hate to be a Bogart, but technically that’s not true. The NFL back in those days had a postseason runner up Bowl game for the teams that finished second in each conference. Green Bay lost at least one of these, in 1964 against St. Louis.

    • @44excalibur
      @44excalibur Před 5 lety

      @Jed Belcher That technically doesn't count because that was prior to postseason football. Back in those days the Championship Game was the only game that mattered prior to the Super Bowl era. And after the loss to the Eagles, Lombardi coached the Packers to a record nine postseason game win streak, which wasn't broken until Bill Belichick led the Patriots to ten straight postseason wins from 2002-2006.

      RJ Walker in Jerry Kramer’s Instant Replay, he quotes Lombardi’s characterization of this ‘Bowl’ game: “A rinky-dink game played by rinky-dink teams in a rinky-dink city.” As we know, he had no use for anything other than first place. I think it was dropped once the NFL split the conferences in ‘67, if not it went into the dustbin of NFL history when the AFL & NFL merged in 1970.
