Oh, I had plenty of fun, too. High School was all boys, and we had a lot teachers who were recent college grads who liked to party too. Then college at St. Bonaventure was four of the best years of my life.

Are you Bob (Big Foot) Lanier?
Packers win blow out. fans of other teams where gipped.
Wait, is it Oackers, or Pachers? This place is so confusing.

Arod 6-2 at home in playoffs as a starter.

If you are a team like the Buccaneers, who did not win their division and have had to win three straight games on the road to make the Super Bowl, things get even tougher in the Conference Championship Round.
Since 2002, those teams are 3-7 straight up and against the spread, with just one (the 2010 Packers) of the past seven teams in this spot winning outright. Just three of those 10 teams faced an opposing No. 1 seed, with all three losing and failing to cover.

No, but one of the Friars living in my dorm had one of Lanier's size 22 Converse sneakers in his room.
All 4 WR's are in the conference championship games.

Alright GB fans.. prediction might change.. as of right now I’m feeling a nice 8-10 point win Sunday. 31-23 ish. I don’t want to get carried away either, but this one might be another 14+ win.

Again, no Antonio Brown at Bucs practice during the window open to media. Could still come out later, and Arians said he doesn’t need to practice to play Sunday. But significant that he isn’t out here.
— Greg Auman (@gregauman) January 22, 2021
Favorite media narrative of the day appears to be Mike Pettine's lack of success against Brady both as a coach and DC. He also never had AR running the offense in any of the games.
Ken Lass at CheesehadTV with a good take on why this game will be different than Week 6:
That’s a good breakdown Pistol
If we remember that game, what stood out to me (outside of Rodgers) was just how bad Josh Jackson was and how bad Ty Summers was that day. Not to mention the overall safety play in the early part of the season was dreadful and Kenny Clark just returned from injury. Combine all of those factors and it’s no surprise the defense got worked over.
This is an entirely different defense now. Sure, there are times they are prone to giving up plays can’t get off the field quickly enough, but the pass rush is much improved and the safety play has been stellar the last 4-6 weeks. I expect a different outcome defensively this time around.
The other key stat was the Bucs 2-4 record against winning teams.
If the Packers don’t beat themselves with penalties and turnovers and mistakes I don’t see how Tampa wins this game. Had Brees not melted down last week it would be New Orleans playing in GB.
Antonio Brown out Sunday.

That's big. Was Brady's favorite target the last 5 weeks of the season. Was pretty productive and hauled in 4-5 TD's during that time.
agreed, that is big news that AB is out.
FYI....I have my bets in this week, which if you've been following along....
I have bet.....
Bucs +3 & the OVER (51.5)
So....if you want to win a nice 2 team parlay.... Packers/Under nearly guaranteed to hit.
You don't mess with "success" & I've been stacking them!
I read that cheesehead article, one thing that wasn't really talked about, since its 'controlling your own destiny' - ref's were letting the tb db's really hold and press almost to where close to every play was a penalty...does gb have the ok to pre-complain to the ref's during this week to watch for that type of play - or do we just take it as it comes - that the ref's are 'letting em play'...I don't know the answer to this, does anyone?
In the playoffs the refs are pretty much swallowing their whistles & letting them play. So if the Bucs hold, the Packer WR's can push off & nothing will be called unless it 100% egregious. Same thing with O-Line holding on both teams.
You have to WORK! WORK HARD!
Surprised they didn't let the Brown thing float until Sunday. Pats would do that.
It's not as warm as it looks for the Packers' last practice before Sunday's NFC title games. It's 16 degrees but it will "warm up" to about 28 (with a chance of snow) on Sunday. Looked like everyone on the roster participated. https://t.co/NgUCPJAdGb pic.twitter.com/YQnFVyR7rA

Hell of a player when healthy and in game shape.
@PSchrags: News: The @Buccaneers will officially be activating DT Vita Vea. He is now eligible to play on Sunday vs Packers, per source.

Speaking of Jackson, and by extension the absence of King.
Maaan RIP Ted 🙏🏽. Thanks for taking a shot on me and believing in me, this ones gonna be for you 🏆. Gonna miss you

King can be frustrating at times, but he can also be a very solid defender.
Week 6 saw D. Shepard as the 3rd WR as Lazard was out and EQ had just returned.
Such a different team now compared to then.
This team is loose boys & girls!!

Can’t help thinking when Kenny Clark came back this season how it took him another 3 + weeks to look like Clark. Vea’s injury was way worse and he was out a lot longer. I can’t imagine he’ll play a ton of snaps.
If Vea gets 10-15 snaps I'll be surprised.
They know they need to stop the run -- they're very worried

We’ll probably see a lot more Scotty Miller in his place. He’s good and plenty fast, but at 175 lb. he’s even smaller than Brown. This is where playing on a slower Lambeau track helps the Pack contain his 4.3 speed. Bump him at the 5 yard bump zone and I think they can contain him easier than a savvy vet like A. Brown.
Packers HC Matt LaFleur said CB Kevin King wasn't out there at practice today because of a back issue that popped up.

Like clockwork.
Oh man that would be just like Kevin "Glass Joe" King to be out this week.
If he can't go can Williams play?

Hope they find his replacement in the draft.
All the talk about having to run the ball against Tampa might be fluff. I agree that it sets up the pass but I still see Adams having a good day. The Packers offense will look like run to set up the pass and if it works- then great. But the passing game will determine the outcome.

Williams at starting corner would be asking for trouble.
Found on the internet:
Mike Pettine made the #Packers defense watch the NFC Championship Game loss to the #49ers. If it's a game fans want to forget, how do you think the players feel?
The only starter on this defense who wasn't there for it was Krys Barnes. They're pissed.
