[QUOTE="weeds, post: 590485, member: 39"] Old joke from that era: Guy: "Officer, I had two Packer tickets on the dashboard of my car and someone smashed my windshield." Cop: "They smashed your windshield and took the two Packer tickets." Guy: "No, they smashed the windshield and put two MORE Packer tickets on the dashboard." Oddly enough, as bad as the Pack were ... and make no mistake, BAD doesn't begin to describe the state of Packers football at that time ... we still went to the games. Most certainly there was a lot of grumbling, but we were there every week that the Pack were playing - same deal in Milwaukee. Never missed a game in Green Bay from '75 thru '95. Another old joke goes something like this: "They may be a steaming pile of dog sh*t, but they're OUR steaming pile of dog sh*t." Man, tailgating during that time was a blast. If you got there early enough, you could drive right into the parking lot off of Oneida or Lombardi, pay your parking fee and tailgate right by the stadium ... you could walk right up the stadiums and rub the galvanized steel that was the outside wall... I mean TOUCH the icon... We used to bring a generator to the last home game, put a row of two by fours between vehicles, and watch the game happening 100 yards away, in the parking lot ... grills going all game long, TV on, alcohol flowing freely ... different time to be sure. 1983 was by FAR the worst year in my estimation... a high powered Super Bowl caliber offense and a defense that could make the cast of "Up With People" hit their knees and break down sobbing.
