machine gun kelly Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I can't wait to see the Ice Bowl 2. I just read the story on the original Ice Bowl in 67. It was -17 degrees, but the windchill had it at -46 degrees. The funny part was in the final Packers drive, it was a windchill of -70 degrees. I can only imagine. I was at the coldest Bills game in the early 90's and that had a windchill of -48 degrees. It was so miserable, we had to leave in the 4th quarter b/c we didn't layer enough on our feet. It's going to be fun as the sun goes down it will be god awful cold. BTW - my prediction is 49 ers by 3, and comes down to the wire. There will be dropped passes due to how hard that ball will be.

boyst Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59PEmRIMTo0 They're saying the temp will be around -50F around kickoff. It will be a fun game to watch. Edited January 5, 2014 by jboyst62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm not even sure it'll be fun at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agardin Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I think Levy had a saying 'when it's too tough for them, it's just right for us'. Whoever adopts that attitude will win. Coughlin's face new that a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a fun game to watch. That was very interesting. Thanks jboys. The other day a guy called into the NFL Radio asked why doesn't the NFL use Nitrogen to fill the football vs. air. I looked into it and makes sense. Airlines use nitrogen vs. air as nitrogen is an inert gas so it does not expand or constrict due to fluctuations in temperature. If the NFL used nitrogen, there would be no difference in the feel of the football whether it was -50 degrees or 110 degrees like Arizona or Miami in September. That was a great idea. After watching jboys video, there would be no change in punts, kickoffs, or passes if they used nitrogen vs. air. I can't believe it's expensive.

I'd guess tradition and accessibility at lower levels are the two issues at hand. And crowds saying "well yea but he had a special ball" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marauderswr80 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 -50!!!!! At kickoff! That's 80 degrees colder where I am and its 30 here. -50 you really need to cover up any bare skin! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Did espn just say lacy is not wearing sleeves, just a compression shirt under his jersey? Jeeeeeze. I heard on NFL radio, a lot of guys who go sleeveless where petroleum jelly on there skin. it wicks moisture, and insulates the skin all at the same time. when you break it down this way, it may be even better than a polypro long sleeve, especially since they can reapply regularly. not to mention for a rb most likely makes him harder to grab.

Jordy is sleeveless as well Can the turf even be considered grass at this point? Not even remotely green Edited January 5, 2014 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 The best wideout on the team is wide open deep. Good job Packers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlelouie Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I would love to see the Packers lose up there in the frozen tundra. I love it when a warm weather team comes in and beats them in their back yard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
