About Me

"It's true, you don't realize really what you got til it's gone and I'm not, gonna sing another sad song, but sometimes I do sit and reminesce then Think about the years I was raised, back in the days. Back in days when I was young I'm not a kid anymore but some days I sit and wish I was a kid again."
"Alright here we go with the kick-off. Harmon will probably try to squib it and he does. Ball comes loose and the Bears have to get out of bounds. Rogers along the sideline, another one...they're still in deep trouble at midfield, they tried to do a couple of....the ball is still loose as they get it to Rogers. They get it back to the 30, they're down to the 20...Oh the band is out on the field!! He's gonna go into the endzone!!! He got into the endzone!! Will it count? The Bears have scored [CANNON GOES OFF] but the bands are out on the field.
AND THE BEARS!!! THE BEARS HAVE WON!!! THE BEARS HAVE WON!!! Oh my God, the most amazing, sensational, traumatic, heart rending... exciting thrilling finish in the history of college football! " - Announcer Joe Starkey, 1982 Big Game
