Anticipation...

Sigh....I missed it when the Illini went to the Final Four...I missed it when the White Sox won the World Series...and now da Bears are in the Superbowl and again I'm missing "it". That is, the energy that is spilling out of everywhere in Chicago right now. Check out the pic my sister just sent me this morning! Again...sigh...but still....GO BEARS!

UPDATE: Oooooh!! more pics from another sister!! Enjoy (click on any of the pics to see a larger version)!

Daaaaa Bears!!!

Oh my gosh it's happened!! My beloved Bears are in Superbowl XLI! I have to admit, both of the last two games have left me a nervous wreck, but so long as they keep finding a way to win, I don't care!! It's almost surreal to see the differences between this year's team and that of the '85 Bears. I mean, back then, it wasn't a question of *if* the Bears were going to win, but by how much. This year, it I've seen critics talk about how there was no way the Bears would even make it this far with their QB and injuries on defense. Well, looking at the early odds in Vegas shows the Colts to be big favorites going into the championship. Man oh man, I hope the boys can pull it out!
