My men did get hysterical in 1985, when the Bears won the Superbowl...when we lived in Chicago, my husband had a seasons pass every single year for the Bears...he sat through all the rain, and snow, and freezing temps, and suffered through all the lousy times of the Bears...we moved from Chicago in 1978, and the hubby returned his seasons pass to his family remaining in Chicago...then 7 yrs later, the Bears go on to win the whole thing...the hubby wishes he could have been living in Chicago for that season, but ah, it was not to be...
I was 11 years old during the '85 season lived in NW Indiana and was born and raised a Bears fan. Have been waiting 20 years for the Bears to be back to the promised land. :D That was Superbowl (XX)20 this one is Superbowl (XL)40.
