I'm visiting my beloved in-laws about 35 miles southwest of Green Bay in Appleton. A big deal up here in sports news is the 50th anniv. of the 1966 NFL championship between the Packers & Dallas, which they say was one of the top 10 games in NFL history & 1 year before the "Ice Bowl".
To practice in better weather for the game, the late Don Chandler, the Pack's kicker from Broken Arrow, talked Lombardi into flying to Tulsa for practices @ TU. Unfortunately for Chandler and the team, an ice storm in Tulsa left Skelly Field in worse shape than Lambeau Field was before they left. Apparently, someone rigged a heater or something up to rear of a 1963 Cadillac & tried to defrost the field. Anyway, the Packers won the game in the Cotton Bowl. There were some giants playing in that game such as Bart Starr, Jim Taylor, Paul Hornung, Bob Hayes, Dandy Don Meredith, Dan Reeves and many others.
Meanwhile, Lombardi & all his teammates were giving Don Chandler hell about the "great" weather in Tulsa. I had no clue about the Packers coming here but maybe some guys on here remember this & can elaborate. TU Football: 1st,last,always!
