This place was built on refugees...UOK, myself, gaba, DaDitka, Xee, and Ringo...among a few others are here because our old place imploded.

We are basically the Austrailia of Bears fandom. Welcome aboard.

Welcome!

Make yourself at home. We've got some really good fans here that I'm sure you'll enjoy talking Bears football with.

Personally, I'm excited to see some fresh views and different ideas. Just can't wait till we have some real games to discuss.

I was known as Cutlerfan006 on the CBMB.

Change happens and we will all deal with it and it will hopefully only make us stronger.

Here is to a strong 2012 Season!!!

BEAR DOWN!!!

UOK, that particular shot reminds of some pictures I took of McCown at training camp who appeared to be in various states of confusion while signing autographs:

It's over folks.....

I think the last 5 shows Tony has joined were canceled the next season.

none the less, and at least enjoy the place until they pull the plug.

Hi. I got here from a link from cbmb, may it rest in peace. I'm kinda low key, and I like the laid back and friendly vibe here. Thanks for the welcome and invite message in the newbie message.

Btw, the board design, graphics, and colors here look awesome; kudos to the designer.
