Packers win - Bears lose!
Thanks, Pete! The other issue is the time difference (+7 hours). When the game was on we were at a restaurant eating whale steak. It was very good. Close to a beef steak with a slightly softer texture.Pete (Mr. Marcia) wrote:Adrian Peterson up the middle. Adrian Peterson to the right. Adrian Peterson to the left. Adrian Peterson returning kicks. Bears D just flat out sucked.
By the way, WBBM radio has a link on its website to free internet feeds of their radio broadcast of the Bears games.

I'm only 5 & 1/2 years out of college...graduated in 2002Me too!!! Class of '81. How about you?

Now that I have the attention of a fellow Illini, I have a story to share with you.
When we were there this past June, Bruce Weber and his family sat next to my husband and me on the beach at Cinnamon Bay! My husband tried to tell me that it couldn't be him, but once Bruce started to talk in that distinctive voice of his there was no question that it was him (and then his wife called him Bruce...and then he put on his Illini basketball shirt). I wanted to say hi but my husband convinced me to leave him alone on vacation. But he may or may not be in the background of one of my beach pictures...
That is a very cool story, small world?! I am positive that I would have gone up to him and said HI, especially when he pulled out the orange shirt/hat!Teresa_Rae wrote:I'm only 5 & 1/2 years out of college...graduated in 2002Me too!!! Class of '81. How about you?

When I was a kid my grandfather used to be a professor at UIUC and was friends with Lou Henson, so it was many times that I was around him. In 89 when b-ball went to the Final Four my grandfather got all the team, including all the coaching staff to sign the teams b-ball letterhead and gave it to me as a christmas present. Still have it hanging on the wall in my office.
I am kind of a young one too, as you. I graduated in 2000, but it was UIC that I went to. Should be a good battle this weekend in Champaign with Michigan in town. It will be nice to see College Gameday there as well. Go IL!
