That sound familiar. First season I recall was '71, then Devine traded Donny Anderson for Mac Lane and that '72 season with the big back backfield. In '73, my mom bought a pocket paperback of "Instant Replay" for me and it was all over for me. Spent much of my time at the public library in the 796s of the non-fiction stacks after that - not many Packer games on TV in northeast Iowa in the '70s.
I sort of had the opposite experience. I was a Packer fan during the late Lambeau years, through Ronzani, Blackbourn, and McLean. Then I went off to college and they hired Lombardi :)
