My favourite was Keith Barnes, a modest fullback who was known as "Golden Boots" for his kicking skills. He displayed true sportsmanship on the field. I remember going to the 1969 Grand Final with my dad to see the Tigers take on South Sydney. The Tigers were very much the underdogs. About halfway through the second half of the game, I looked up to my dad and said "I think we're going to win this." He just nodded in disbelief. We won and it was one of my favourite memories.<BR/><BR/>In 2005, The Wests Tigers (there having been a merger of clubs) won the National Rugby League competition. My niece's husband played in the winning team - another favourite memory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-62617793232827387852009-02-05T13:01:00.000-06:002009-02-05T13:01:00.000-06:00And may your weekend be kind to you :)And may your weekend be kind to you :)Casdokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03497897393162856190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-4478855606410770032009-02-05T02:02:00.000-06:002009-02-05T02:02:00.000-06:00Watched the '70 superbowl in Lansing, Mi w/ my dad...Watched the '70 superbowl in Lansing, Mi w/ my dad and mom in a lobby of the MSU dorms.<BR/><BR/>Dad was studying to get his masters and coaching w/ Duffy Daugherty at MSU.<BR/><BR/>You bring back some really really cool memories.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Safe winter, and stay warm my friend!<BR/><BR/>Aloha, HM.Hawaiianmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488099008700938001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-39114965546830635612009-02-03T15:17:00.000-06:002009-02-03T15:17:00.000-06:00I am not a football fan but I remember those days ...I am not a football fan but I remember those days fondly.

I had 9th row seats at the 40 yard line. I left early. It was just too depressing. <BR/><BR/>I am no fair weathered fan. I'm dedicated to my home team. Maybe when we get rid of Carl Peterson things will turn around.beckyboophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663633663224962767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-58878356617902612282009-02-03T09:08:00.000-06:002009-02-03T09:08:00.000-06:00I only watch the game for the commercials and the ...I only watch the game for the commercials and the half time show. haha <BR/><BR/>May your week be kind to you!Sassyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02599624467609274837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-56582134901387538052009-02-02T16:35:00.000-06:002009-02-02T16:35:00.000-06:00Loved the game even though my team lost..Was so ho...Loved the game even though my team lost..Was so hoping Larry Fitzgerald<BR/>would get a ring..He is a Minnesota kid..<BR/>The Boss was in prime form..and Wow <BR/>Jennifer Hudson gave me goose bumps along with tears.Green teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01905946265342284416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18452695.post-47501911919272202982009-02-01T21:32:00.000-06:002009-02-01T21:32:00.000-06:00Saw football and scrollleddddddd right on through ...Saw football and scrollleddddddd right on through to just say hello!!!

What with first pitch, and a glass of milk for Indy 500 winner. Its also odd that in a country where commerce is king you wouldn't get sponsorship plastered all over your baseball and football shirts. Unlike over here where every proper football (sorry my religion prevents the use of the word soccer) team has a sponsors name just about everywhere from shirt to socks. Mind you your gmes do stop every 30 secs for ads. <BR/>Anyway go Steelers!
