rock Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I was at the game last night. It was awesome experience and a great tribute to a great Chicagoan. Holy Hell it was one of the most frigid games I ever went to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brickhouse Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 What a great game for such an evening....though I can't say I wish I was there, it looked FREEZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMQQKIN Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 15 degrees below wind chill temp last night. However, great game if your a Bears fan and it's about time to see Da Coaches number 89 retired. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DaERB1kHymE Loved every second of being at Soldier Field despite the cold.

Stanislaw Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Kidmac, that's what I was hoping to see!!! And to my fellow Chicago BOTL, feel free to PM me your address and I'll send you a cigar to celebrate, thanks for the responses and in the words of iron mike himself, "GO BEARS!"

Dara Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I can't believe 72 still hasn't been retired for the fridge….the man with the record for the biggest Super Bowl ring size for those fat fingers!! Even more surprising was when I visited Soldier field about 2 years ago and asked for a 72 perry shirt in the shop, the assistant (who was probably only about 22) just stared at me blankly even when I said "you know, the fridges shirt" they didn't have a single shirt in stock. Ended up going to a place called the t-shirt deli up near linking park and getting a tops card of perry put on a t-shirt with fridge on the back….wore it to Ditkas place that evening where I was meeting some local friends to watch the game and have a burger and beers and the coach came up to me and said "nice shirt"….I was chuffed !

I actually just found the "ditka t-shirt" like the pic I posted above at a website called crosstowntees.com... must own! no fridge t-shirts, though, heheheheh.... Sounds like we need to get a Chicago gathering of the FOH going! that sounds like an awesome plan, if they get into the playoffs I would fly back to chicago for this in a heartbeat.... oh hell, I'd fly out to hang with you guys regardless... my kind of town Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidmac Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Ryan .500 career Ditka .560 career Really thats your argument! ! He won his division 6 out of 10 seasons with the bears. Coach of the Year 2x. And has 3 Super Bowl rings as a coach. So at least look in to that .560 number and not be a complete bonehead. And this coming from a die hard Giants fan and a football fan which I assume you are not? Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
