Go Bears

Champions:

Now that was a fine set of championship games. Congratulations to the victors! I am pleased to say that my favored teams won in both of the conference championships.

Now, though, I have to decide whether to root for the Colts -- who are the native team of the in-laws, and led by Peyton Manning, an old UT vet -- or the Bears, to whom I feel a certain primal loyalty. They play the kind of ball I like best: a defense-heavy, running game. I remember the "wild bunch" of 1985, and want to see the Bears back on top of the league.

Well, I have a couple of weeks to sort that out. My thanks to all of the players for a fine couple of games today.
