I don’t know where these are coming from, but keep it up! Any college football conference season reviews out there?
No Championship this year that was won by the Chicago Bears
I appreciate you finding 62/63. I hope you got 1964.
Even though I know it was a down year, go pack, go
I grew up in the Boston area. I also grew up idolizing those old Packers teams of the 60s even though that was a bit before my time. I feel very grateful to have watched my hometown team (The patriots) turn into a similar dynasty just like these legendary Packers. Both teams will go down in history as two of the best.
Best game ever.. Thanksgiving Day 1963
Finished 11-2-1 and still didn't make the playoffs. Losing to the Bears twice and having Paul Hornung on suspension that season didn't help.
The 1963 Packers missed the World Championship Game for the first time since Vince Lombardi's maiden season of 1959 as head coach, thanks to Paul Hornung
being suspended the entire year due to gambling. Guard Jerry Kramer did the placekicking. Tom Moore and Earl Gros shared the right halfback slot Hornung occupied. The Pack finished 11-3; the Bears did better at 13-1.
I believe the Bears won it this season, did they not? A shame we didn't find out why from this clip, looks like stuff is missing.
Well that ended rather rudely
What jumps out almost immediately is the fact that most running backs today are as big or bigger than the linemen were back then.
