We are consumed with the start of the football season, Chicago Bears, big college football games, including Northern Illinois’ huge upset victory at Notre Dame.
The 2-0 starts by Northern Illinois and Illinois. High school football has played two games on the way to playoffs.
However, the Major League Baseball season offers playoffs hopes for the Chicago Cubs, even though they must produce comeback rallies to make the playoffs.
Through Monday this week the 73-70 Cubs were behind four other playoff contenders, including New York Mets, Atlanta, San Diego, and Arizona for three berths.
When the Bears start 2-0 it is always big news. The Bears hold prominence in our circulation area and that’s unlikely to change, however the regular season will last 17 games. The Bears will next play at the Texans Sunday, Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m..
We must not miss Northern Illinois’ impressive comeback victory at Notre Dame, 16-14, on national television. Yes, Notre Dame likely was in a let-down situation following a season-opening victory at Texas in Week 1. We are interested in the progress this season by Northern Illinois and University of Illinois. That is unlikely to change.
