Seems I'm always looking for history to repeat itself w/my beloved Skins. Even though it never does, here goes another parallel for this game:

on Nov. 26, 1989, Chicago came to town. The Skins were 5-6 & I believe the Bears were too. Both teams were slumping some. The Skins trounced em 38-14 w/Mark Rypien throwing for 401 yds. & 5 td's I think. All of the posse had at least 1 td, believe Monk had 2. I think the Bears scored on a kick return for one of their td's.

This was the first of 5 straight wins to finish 10-6, though they didn't make the playoffs. I remember it so well because my sister got us great tickets close to the field. Ditka was fuming during & after the game.

My hope for tomorrow night is that we can get back on track in the same fashion, though we can't expect the score to be like that. The Bears are also struggling.
