Get to know me.

I am born and bread Chicago. I am a Chicago sports fan for all sports. I am a die hard Bears fan, Cubs fan and Bulls fan. Don't hate the Sox, but I am a north sider at heart, and a Cubs fan. I don't follow any sport as closely as football. Not big on college sports, but starting to get into college footbal a little. I am a Notre Dame & a Northwestern fan, mostly because 4 years ago two team mates of my nephew (from High School)played on both teams. The one on Northwestern was drafted by St Louis and is still on the practice squad. He played MLB for NW all 4 years and made a good name for himself. The one on Notre Dame was red shirted his first year and now is a starting offensive lineman in his (red shirt) senior year.
I found this site because I was Googleing for some Bears history. I'm trying to find out who the Bears MLB was in the mid 70"s, after Butkis and before Sngletary. Can anyone help??

John

Re: Get to know me.

Welcome to GoTeamsGo, John, and thanks for joining us. I'm looking for the answer to your question but I've come up empty so far. I'll let you know if and when I find anything. In the meantime... any Bears fans on the board who happen to know the answer?

Re: Get to know me.

There were a slew of Bear linebackers in the 70's not sure which played the middle...

the best of the bunch was Doug Buffone who made over 1,200 tackles...

there was also Don Rives, Tom Hicks, Larry Muckenstrum, Warrent bryant, Ross Brupbacher (who once had 7 pickoffs -seems like a good candiate for the middle)...anyway, one of these guys should have played the middle is my guess.

Re: Get to know me.

Gotham, thanks for the input. I woke up this morning with Doug Buffone on my mind as the guy, and you just confirmed it. I didn't think the years worked out because Butkus was around the whole time he was. I figure when Butkus blew out his knee in 73 Buffone moved to the middle and stayed there until 80. Then came Singletary in 81.

Thanks again, and Happy New Year!!
