Remember… “Y’all come back, ya’ hear!”
The new American Football League’s Kansas City Chiefs played against the ‘old school’
National Football League’s Green Bay Packers in the championship game, which was the
very FIRST SUPER BOWL! Now fellow Baby boomers can probably remember the hysteria it
caused, or at least heard their parents talking about it because it was played before 61,946
fans in Los Angeles’ 100,000-seat Memorial Coliseum. The television audience for this game
estimated to have been approximately 60 million viewers. Small potatoes compared to the
views it attracts now. Do you remember how it got its name?
Lamar Hunt, founder of the AFL and owner of the Kansas City chiefs, found his daughter’s
Super Ball, which inspired the phrase, “Super Bowl” - and by golly, it stuck! The Super Bowl
was born. Just think what our men would do, if Mr. Hunt had not stumbled upon his
daughter’s super ball, and started the tradition of the BIG GAME. Vince Lombardi and his
Packers were 13-2, while Hank Stram and his Chief’s were 12-2-1 going into the game. Max
McGee, a wide receiver of the Packers, was the unlikely hero going into the game. He is
quoted as saying, “I waddled in about 7:30 in the morning, and I could barely stand up for
the kickoff. On the bench, Paul (Hornung) kept needling me, ‘What would you do if you had
to play?’ And I said, ‘No way, there’s no way I could make it.’” (Adler, 1967) Just moments
after entering the game though, he caught a 37-yard touchdown pass from Bart Starr to cap
off an 80-yard drive that gave the Packers an early lead. On the day, McGee caught seven
passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns as the Packers went on to win the first Super
Bowl, 35-10. Each player on the Packers received a $15,000 bonus for winning the game,
while members of the Chiefs earned $7,500. A one-minute television commercial sold for
$75,000 to $85,000; pocket change compared to the millions spent on airtime now. (1967)
That was number one and now…

My goodness, it was just a trip to the Super Wal-mart to pick up medications from our friendly pharmacy staff and a few grocery items. Then waiting in the check-out line, “it” caught my eye - TIME 1968 - the flashbacks immediately started … because that was the best year of my life, I promise.

*Due to problems today with our server at 451Press, this event will be over by this posting. I apologize for any problem this might cause.

I had no idea I had neglected livingrural for ten (10) WHOLE DAYS! 
I shared with you here that I’m in school working on my AABA and this session ended on Saturday. There were MAJOR assignments due over the last two weeks; I imagine my mind, body and soul were consumed with marketing. Am I apologizing for this absence? NO! Each of us has a life away from 451 Press and there will be times when it MUST come FIRST and this was one of those times.
I know my readers (I know you’re out there, somewhere!) understand and I assume my bosses at 451 Press know this and will also understand my “time away”. It certainly was not a vacation. It was not sick leave. It was not laziness. It was not an oversight. It WAS time learning and improving myself to be a better person, a better writer, a better employee for 451 Press.
I have a break from AIU until October 6, 2007. I plan to use part of this time writing posts to save for use when school is in session. I hope this will ease the burden I feel after being reminded of the time I had been away. I hope it will satisfy my bosses. I hope my readers will be patient and check back here every 3 days to read my wonderfully written blog. A prayer from each of you would help.
Remember y’all come back, ya’ hear!

… to find out when a doctor appointment was scheduled for daughter #3
… did her hubby kill a hog while hog huntin’?
… is my ankle sprained or a slight hairline fracture … I’ll explain in another post
… to connect to online help with my Internet provider’s technical support, for 2 hours (I know, unreal, but my ankle was elevated and I really didn’t have anything else to do … RIGHT!)
… to eat the wonderful plate of country cookin’ my hubby was bringing from his monthly Wednesday night Men’s Supper Club … yum … WORTH the WAIT!
