[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 467322, member: 5830"] You know, you bring up a good point. One of the reasons I'm such a big Packers fan is because of growing up watching them stink all of those years. I felt like a winner when they did. I'm a big fan of being a part of the underdog team. The victories are much more gratifying. Having crossed borders for school decades ago, I became a big Minnesota Gopher fan. Sure they lose a lot but it won't last forever (I hope). When they do finally win it will justify all of those years of watching them lose. The juice will be much sweeter than had I written them off for years or just jumped on the bandwagon. As for the 1989 replay game, it was exciting just because replay itself was so new. I think that it only started in the 1986 or '87 season. While it had certainly been used before, I can't remember an instance of it being used to this extent. My grandparents, cousins, uncles, brothers, and I were all watching the game. The officials seemed to take 15 minutes to review the play. They showed it over and over as we watched on a "big" 27 inch tv in our living room. In reality I think the review was only 5 minutes but it took forever. It was the first time beating the Bears in several years too. It was one of those games that made us think that the Packers were turning the corner. We were wrong. Then Ron Wolf came along! [/QUOTE]
