[CBFF] Well.... That Sucked.

Mon Feb 5 10:44:09 MST 2007

Harris and Brown returning, Rex with a year of experience, Anderson starting
at D-end, and hopefully Angelo can have another good off-season filling
holes....  the future looks bright, me-boys... very bright.

Next years schedule, on a darker side, looks increadibly tough... but that
just might make these Bears tough enough come playoff time.
