Oakland Raiders News 12-08-07: The Frozen Tundra Awaits!!!

by Raymond St. Martin (Saint) on Dec 8, 2007 11:15 AM PST in News

Two of the NFL's most storied franchises will square off tomorrow on one of the NFL's most famous battlefields, Lambeau Field's Frozen Tundra.

The last time that the Oakland Raiders won in Lambeau, it was in John Madden's Final Season at the helm of the Silver and Black, 1978. (The LA Raiders won there in 1987)

In fact it is very rare indeed for these two teams to meet in Lambeau.

The most recent Raider visit was way back in 1999. That was Rich gannon's debut as a Raider in a losing effort.

1993 was also memorable, but not for anyone specials debut. The Silver and Black got their clocks cleaned 28-0 and when Reggie White lateraled the ball back to LeRoy Butler who sailed into the end zone, the Lambeau Leap was born.

Is It Just Me, or Does That Wall Look MUCH Taller than it is Now?

According to Yahoo, There is a 60% chance of snow tomorrow and the high will be 22 degrees!!!

Tomorrow promises to be a great test for the Young Raiders and a victory would be as sweet as any in years.

Even as scary as the freezing cold weather and frozen tundra may be, it is nowhere as scary as facing the Pacers would be IF he got his wish in the off-season. Imagine IF his dream had come true...My guess is that it would have looked alot like THIS:

GOOOOO RRRAAIIDDEERRSS!!!!

Steve Corchoran is an idiot. In his

world, one plus one equals three. His premise is that the Raiders should have taken Rodgers instead of Walter, which cannot be feasible, since Walter was taken in the 3rd round. The Raiders took Fabian Washington, and then Rodgers was taken with the next pick. Walter was a 3rd round, since he is still on the board pick.

Instead, the Raiders selected cornerback Fabian Washington. Rodgers went to the Green Bay Packers minutes later at No. 24. The Raiders selected Andrew Walter in the third round that year. He was the Raiders' top choice, according to an account by Walter's father relayed to his son.

Washington developed into a starter by his second season. Rodgers has yet to start any of Green Bay's 44 games, and he isn't assured of much playing time as long as the ageless, indestructible Brett Favre keeps defying the odds.

The Time Has Come....

To stick a fork in this Packers winning streak against the Raiders. This has been the season of streak busting, so I am confident that the Raiders will run the ball down their throats and get the victory on the snow filled tundra.

Go Raiders! I'm In!
