[QUOTE="weeds, post: 371514, member: 39"] Lunch, I have to respectfully disagree. The excitement level of this Super Bowl win subsided, sadly, pretty quickly it seemed. Even here in Northeastern Wisconsin compared to the win in #31. The purse swinging between the players and owners probably being the culprit. That's just my opinion of the general level of excitement here in this geographical area. Don't get me wrong, it's a BIG deal at my house. :pleasantry: The win in #31 was HUGE up here because of the amount of time that passed between the previous championship and the fact that the 70's and 80's yielded such pathetic football that the 4 years leading up to the '96 season had reached something of a crescendo -- haha. I'm not kidding - it was a 3-ring circus after the loss in the '95 NFC Championship game leading into the '96 season. I mean, Packers fans appeared out of nowhere...driving up demand and creating a scarcity of tickets - and truthfully, the fan base at Lambeau changed significantly. I guess that is what winning yields, but when I say that the area came to life, I'm not exaggerating because it was an electric time here.Particularly for those of us who did indeed SUFFER through the prior 3 decades. Many of the fans are fans today because of that team. Now...that's a good thing...but it's important to remember that ONLY 14-years passed between these two Super Bowl wins - not an entire generation. In that regard, I'm fortunate because I got to witness and remember 4 (I don't remember '65 because I was only 7 at the time, which was also the first season that I went to Lambeau to watch a game - actually, I walked into City Stadium that day, and walked out of Lambeau Field - didn't recognize the significance of it...but hey...) THIS Packers Super Bowl team is in second place to no other Packers' team. This season caught me totally flat-footed because I didn't recognize their potential at the beginning of the season. Coming off of a total defensive ***-kicking against Arizona...I just did not see what the Super Bowl talk was based on until that New England game. These guys deserve EVERY accolade they get. I'm proud of them and proud to be a Green Bay Packers fan. I'm proud that none of these guys have been talking **** and making us look bad in the national media. These guys have proven to be true professionals as a group and I couldn't be happier. [/QUOTE]
