WHAT A DAY!

So even though I am writing this Friday evening, Thursday was a money day to be a fan of Chicago sports. Derrick Rose became the Bulls first All-Star since MJ. Holy shnikes! It's been 12 long years since a Bulls fan could root from a player for their favorite team. I know the Bulls have lacked star power but that is hardly the case anymore. Good for the team, the organization, and more specifically D-Rose.
In other news, my love for the Blackhawks only grew more last night with the OT win over the Sharks in San Jose. Those 2 teams lead the NHL in points and what a great game. The Blackhawks showed some real toughness and proved they have the edge needed for the postseason.
Now its time for me to get on to my weekend activities but luckily sports never take a day off so I will definately be posting in a few days.

Chicago Sports Nut

I am a complete Chicago sports nut. A diehard. It doesn't matter who the team is, just what seasonal sport is on display. The Fire- like 'em, The Bears- really like 'em, The Bulls- love 'em, The Blackhawks- infatuated with them, and then there is the CUBS- my ALLTIME favorite team. I follow Chicago sports religiously. I follow Chicagoland colleges also because i grew up in the northern suburbs and hey, its my home state. The Fighting Illini, my number one favorite team to root for no matter the sport. Northwestern Wildcats, I'm on the bandwagon rooting for the underdogs. The point is, if you didn't learn it in class yesterday from my dissect a website presentation, I am a passionate sports fan and i LOVE my home cities teams (like a true Cubs fan, the White Sox really don't exist in my world. Yeah I know they are our south side rivals but I neither root for them or hope they suck, I'm really partial. I may talk about the SOX occasionally in this blog, but it's highly unlikely.) So there you have it, what you can look forward to me jabbering about for an entire semester and what I am gonna voice my opinion to. 3 Cheers for my teams!
