[QUOTE="wpr, post: 20763, member: 198"] Here's a story about the original group: A Game to Remember Bears vs. Packers Nov. 27, 1921 In the first meeting of a rivalry that has continued for 80 years, the Decatur Staleys - as the Bears were then known - score a 20-0 victory before 7,000 people at Wrigley Field. An estimated 300 fans, accompanied by the Lumberjack Band, leave Green Bay at midnight on a special excursion train and arrive in Chicago early Sunday morning to support their team. Dressed in corduroy pants, lumberjack shirts and mackinaws, hunting caps and high boots, the group parades through downtown streets and several hotel lobbies in the Loop before being stopped by police for not having a parade permit. At halftime, the band plays "On Wisconsin" to the delight of the Wrigley Field fans. "Never in my experience have I witnessed a better display of spirit," Ed Smith, dean of Chicago sportswriters, is quoted as saying. "I take my hats off to Green Bay. It was splendid." The game features the rivalry's first fight when Tarzan Taylor throws a punch at the Packers' Cub Buck. [/QUOTE]
