Oh Hum... Packers are in!

Sunday was for those in Wisconsin the make or break game.  The Green Bay Packers won against the Chicago Bears 10 - 3 and that was it.

It was the Bears who dominated the opening quarter, leading the Packers 3 - 0 until the Packers scooped up a field goal to make the score even.  Then as the game really warmed up for the Packers they got the illusive touchdown and conversion to add another seven points to the three they had picked up.  Although the Bears fought back, an intercept in the dying minutes brought the game to an end: Game Over.  The Packers had won their way into the play-offs.  Even if most of us in Wisconsin watched from the comfort of our living rooms, snacks to hand, it was a good day for the Cheese Heads!

The big question of the day is, why did the camera wander over to this section of the crowd?  It's a good job I managed to get my eyeballs back into their sockets before my wife noticed!

It seems that Wisconsin breeds some rather hardy girls... the temperature gets above freezing and the girls get into their bikinis to watch the big game!  I suppose only the Canadians can top that!  Then again, Canada is somewhat cooler this time of year.

  1. Yes, well, as wifey, I was in another room when this photo was posted. Mick can look all he wants, even drool, but if he touches...it's all over but the shouting!!! Reciprocity is in force.
