First, given that my Cubbies won exactly as many playoff games as the Brewers (ugh!), I'm not much in a gloating mood.<BR/><BR/>And second, I'll confess that when it comes to Illini football, I'm a fair-weather-FIB at best. If they weren't starting to get some national attention, I'd be oblivious to how they're doing.<BR/><BR/>So no(t much) gloating from me. Head up high, Mr. Dilettante. There's always next week!Dan S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13965170351878994938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-74323619612809733552007-10-09T06:47:00.000-05:002007-10-09T06:47:00.000-05:00Take Heart Mr. Dilletante, because it's never been...Take Heart Mr. Dilletante, because it's never been truer to say it: "The Bears Still Suck."<BR/><BR/>What a bizarre game! Bizarre turnovers, bizarre officiating, bizarre instant replay reviews, bizarre play-calling by Mike "I'm going to run if it kills me" McCarthy, and of course, a bizarre forced throw by Farve to Urlacher.<BR/><BR/>The Bears needed that win, but if they left that game thinking that they are the better team, then they too are bizarre. The Pack wrapped up this one and gave it to the Midway Monsters. Perhaps they felt sorry for the Cub Fans who know that the curse remains alive and well.<BR/><BR/>Regarding Ill-annoyed, it's a sad fact that the Badgers most likely aren't that good. There's still football left to be played, but they do appear to be destined to be "Children of a lesser Bowl."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
