Bring Out the Big Guns

It's the end-all be-all. The Big Dance. The Grand-daddy of... Wait, that's a different game. It's the Super Bowl baby! And the Packers are back in after 13 years of watching from the couch. Consider these nuggets of information before I move on to my prediction:

- Everytime the Packers made it to the Super Bowl, they've gone the following year and won their first appearance. (Super Bowls 1+2 and 31+32)

- The Steelers are comfortable in the Super Bowl. This is their third appearance in six years. The Patriots were comfortable too, after winning three in four years, but the Giants knocked them out 17-14 in Super Bowl 42.

- Mike Holmgren took the Packers to the Super Bowl in his fifth year with the Packers and won. This is the fifth year for Mike McCarthy as head coach of the Green and Gold.

Should be a very hard fought game and I'm of course going with the Packers, and I think they'll have a bit more offense than the Steelers can handle.  I say it's Packers 28 Steelers 24 and the Lombardi Trophy is coming home!

Here's your Web Waster of the Day:

SuperBowl - The official site for the big game on Sunday. Don't prep too much though, since our coverage on K107.1 starts at Noon on Sunday thanks to Holiday Mazda in Fond du Lac with kickoff at 5:30pm!
