only twice and those weren't played East of the Mississippi
1995 - San Fran 49 San Diego 26
1990 - San Fran 55 Denver 10
Himm, thank you for your kind response to my professed ignorance. I don't know whether you looked it up, or that you just might retain that sort of information in your head, but thank you for answering.
So, in a tradition entering its 48th year, this is only the 3rd time that both teams are from west of the Mississippi. I'm not quite sure why I find this significant -- and maybe it isn't -- but I do.
Frankly, I'm happy for both NUG (Denver Broncos) and our Washington contingency (Tusk, Cherelann, and me -- or should that be MAE?) that our respective teams will play the Super Bowl! And may the better team win!
I also want to give a shout out to those who chose Ann Wilson to sing the National Anthem and Macklemore for the half time performance. Very, very smart approach!
