It was good to see the Bears lose last night.
No, not those Bears. The college basketball Bears. Unless you’re a Saluki or ardent Missouri Valley Conference basketball fan, it probably wasn’t on your radar last night.
Nevertheless, it really had me thinking about how much I’m looking forward to seeing Chicago Bears football in person next year. That shared game day experience is my favorite thing about fandom. And after an offseason of wise spending and good use of draft picks, I can’t wait to see what the Bears will look like when they take the field in 2023.
