I remember where I was for the Ice Bowl too - I was in my grandparents farmhouse in Pemberton, NJ. Even then I was rooting for the underdog (Cowboys) vs. the winning machine in Green Bay.

FYI, Dan Reeves threw a Dallas TD pass from his halfback position but that's about all I remember from the game other than Starr's winning QB sneak which has been shown many times over the years.

And because I'm an old grouch I'll add at least they had enough sense to play in the afternoon in GB back then!

I don't remember all that much from the game except the cold and Starr's quarterback sneak and I think a guy named Max McGee scored a TD on a pass from Starr, I think, but I may be confusing that with another battle between the Packers and Dallas. Seems like it was a very low scoring game which makes perfect sense. I don't imagine that the players even wanted to be there, it was so damn cold. My only other impressions from the game were that Vince Lombardi always seemed like the ultimate disciplinarian. Those were different times for sure. Players when they were in their street clothes always wore suits and ties which Lombardi seemed to insist on.
