The Curse of TexXx

2015-1-18 Update
The Packers just blew a 12 point lead in the NFc Championship Game in 3 minutes plus OT....
April 2014, TexXx visited Lambeau, again.. the Pack never had a chance...

Last night the Green Packers lost a football game in a crazy, bizarre fashion.  Sad Packer Fan Casey Lewis blames her "cursed" Clay Matthews jersey.  Then I suddenly realized.. It's all my fault.  Sorry Cheeseheads, I wasn't even thinking...

As a senior in high school the eldest son of my defensive coordinator was an assistant coach at the University of Houston during the Run & Shoot hey day... He had arranged for the seniors to watch UH play the Aggies of Texas A&M.  My buddy Anthony and I arrived late, found out way in through an administrative gate, and got led down to the field level.  walked through the actual Oilers locker room, made a right turn (Seen here at :55) and walked out of the players tunnel on to the floor of the Houston Astrodome during player warmups.  A trip and a tunnel I hoped to see again in a few weeks in the playoffs.  It was not to be.  We lost in the first round... Oh... What does that have to do with the Packers... The Oilers lost in the playoffs that season too.. To Buffalo..after being up 35-3

Fast forward to 2008.  The final season in the history of storied Texas Stadium.  As a life long Cowboys fan I had to go. I had to see the place where Danny White (odd first choice in this list, I know), Troy Aikman, Emmit Smith, Michael Irvin had played.  The tickets were bought, the plane tickets, stadium tour and hotel were booked.  Two weeks before I visit, Tony Romo breaks his thumb in a crazy, wild game in Arizona where the Cardinals won, in overtime on a blocked punt.  Backup Brad Johnson beat Tampa the day I went, but the Cowboys finished 9-7 and out of the playoffs.

Three years later, while visiting Kansas City I toured Arrowhead Stadium, the home of the then defending AFC West Champs.  Well for those that don't recall, last season the Chiefs lost running back Jamaal Charles on opening day, and slogged to a lackadaisical 7-9 record, and out of the playoffs.

Ok, now I've got Cheeseheads everywhere nervous.  and rightfully so.  In May, while in Green Bay for an indoor football game, I toured Lambeau...
