The article I posted states that as well.

In that case, why wouldn't you point out both instead of just saying how thankful packers fans should be. Considering the Packers made their gesture first (IIRC), that would probably play into why Halas was so supportive of the Pack considering he was bailed out by them.

There's not nearly enough vitriol on this board given the magnitude of the game. I'd guess that at least 75% of the board considers one of the teams to be 'their' team.  

With that, I'm co-opting an MU tradition and saying "The Bears are evil and must be destroyed"

If you don't believe me, just take the opinion of respected TV journalist Stephen Colbert

That's more like it.  

I've got a friend who's a grade school teacher in a Chicago suburb.  She's also, unfortunately, a Bears fan. This became a point of discussion in class this week as it's easy to amuse kids with talking about sports.  So she tells the class how much she LOVES the Bears and how they're going to win yadda yadda yadda and being in the Chicago area, most of the kids agree with her.  Except there's this one little girl who (bless her soul) claims she's a Packers fan.  My friend asked why and she said " cause Mommy and Daddy are Packers fans and I love Aaron Rodgers."  My friend, never one to be completely tactful responds with "what if your daddy was an idiot and your mommy was a moron, then what would you be?"  

The girl looked at her for a minute and responded "A Bears fan!"

Despite the length of this, I saw the entire thing on a t-shirt once except it had the Cubs and Sox.

Pack 31
Bears 16

If the Pack can neutralize Hester and Peppers I think they could win this one comfortably, but what the heck do I know, my predictions are almost never right.

My father-in-law is a Bears fan and he picked the exact same score as you.

Packers 31-17.  I expect some sandlot bullsh!t from the NFL team of Illinois.  16 - that's alot of kicking.  Expect to see more "going for it on 4th" especially when behind.

Game can't come soon enough.

Well, last week I watched MU squander a second half lead and the Pack came out and destroyed their opponent.  Here's hoping it happens again.

Bears 23-21 on a Robbie Gould FG as time expires. Super Bears! Super Bowl!


EDIT: OK, that's not really "destroying" their opponent, but a win is a win.

Gonna shortly have a house full of fans...some Bears, some Packers (just my family) and a bunch of Colts fans who we enticed by a free beer offer.  It will be fun regardless because this is what it should be about.

Who are the Colts fans cheering for?

There was 4 inches of snow overnight, winds starting to kick up, chance of snow in the 2nd half.

Advantage: neither team.

If the winds do pick up and snow starts, I'd agree with you.  If they don't, I think it helps the Packers.  Who knows.  Should be a fun game.  I'm sure the losers will blame the refs either way.

Why the fuss?  The Packers are going to destroy the Bears.  Book it.  I'm a Bear fan, and I know that much.  This game will be a bloodbath.  Just get it over with already.  Looking forward to Cubs season, where I can watch Matt Garza go 10-15 with a 4.00 ERA, Carlos Pena hit .220 with 25 HRs, and have the Cubs finish 25 game out of first.

Clear skies in the west loop.  But the weather won't do anything to help the way this first half is going.  Cmon Pack!  Keep it up!
