Thread: Memories of the Bears and the Blackhawks

(Christmas, 2006, my first holiday as a Bears fan. My parents bought this shirt for $46 before shipping and handling were added on E-bay because it is a size 56 and the seller was desperate to get rid of it. I still wear it religiously on Sundays in the Fall to this day.)



(Christmas, 2006: What'cha gonna do, Green Bay, when Bear Mania and all the City of Chicago's Bearsters, run wild on you???)



(Christmas, 2006: Yep. The Bears are the #1 football team in the world!!!)



(Orlando: December, 2009 - I was wearing the NFC Championship Shirt inside the Magic Kingdom. This pic was taken after we got through with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. Wasn't it nice of Ross to hold those plastic blades across my throat? lol)



(Probably taken around the Fall of 2008: my God, do I really look that much like Ron Jeremy in this picture? LOL. The facial hair would suggest so. I just wish my cock were as big as his!)

(This jersey is way outdated. It's Martin Havlat's old #24 jersey. I will have to look for a Jonathan Toews or a Patrick Kane jersey sometime when I have the money to afford one.)


(Bridgestone Arena, or what was then called the Sommet Center, in Nashville, on January 10, 2009. This was the first major professional sports game I had ever attend; I had attended Tennessee football games as well as the 1998 Gator Bowl between Virginia Tech and North Carolina, and local minor league baseball and hockey games, but had never attended a game in the NHL, the NFL, the NBA, or MLB. Unfortunately, my first Blackhawks game didn't go so well as the Hawks were shut-out, 4-0. This was a really special night; Dad and I bonded on this road trip that took about 12-13 hours round trip when you include eating dinner in Cookeville and taking in the game, despite the fact that Dad was pulled over for not changing lanes for a stopped emergency vehicles on the side of I-40 West bound around Mt. Juliet, which is east of Nashville [and this was despite the fact that Dad couldn't get over into the next lane since there were other vehicles in his path.)

(Blackhawks during pre-game drills and warm-ups. Sorry that the picture quality is so bad, but you know how it is in dark buildings.)

(More warm ups. I didn't take any pictures of actual game action, apparently. But it was an enjoyable experience, but one that I dare say will not be experienced with Dad again.)
