Mary Novak Games of the mind agility; remember the game that ended the 1985-86 season New England Patriots Chicago Bears fight it out in Superbowl XX Twenty years from now, while playing Trivial Pursuit, if you stumble on the sports and leisure question, Who won Super Bowl XX, will you answer the Chicago Bears and gain a piece of the pie? Chances are pretty good that you just might. In fact, you might even remember where you spent that Super Bowl Sunday back in January 1986, with whom and maybe what clothes you were wearing. Yes, Super Bowl XX was pretty un- forgettable. The Chicago Bears went into the contest 10-point favorites, one of only two double figure betting lines on the Super Bowl since the early days. The New England Patriots only wish the game could have been that close. When the last second ticked off the clock, the score read 46-10 in favor of the Bears; and Chicago had its first major title in any professional sport since 1963, when the Bears were NFL champs. TRIVIA QUESTION NO. 1: What two Bowl records were set during Super Bowl XX?... The Bears set a record by allowing the Patriots only seven rushing yards. The second record is even more astounding. The first half ended with a defensive record -minus 19 yards for New England. Add to those two factors the most devas- tating defensive exhibition in Super Bowl history and it is plain to see how the Bears rolled over the Patriots. But the Patriots need not feel alone in their defeat. Enroute to the final showdown the Bears crushed the N.Y. Giants 21-0, and white-washed the Los Angeles Rams 24-0. TRIVIA QUESTION NO. 2: What NFL team made a music video?. ..While the game may not go down in football history as being a real cliffhanger, it will be remembered for the hoopla that went on prior to it. The Super Bowl Shuffle was a song in which the Bears rapped all the way to M-TV. The two players that rapped the most press attention had to be Bears ' William the Refrigerator Perry, and Jirri McMahon. Perry, a 308-pound defensive tackle, did everything in the 85-86 season from scoring touchdowns to doing McDonald ' s advertisements. While Perry was rapidly becoming America ' s favorite 300-plus teddy bear, another Bear was raising quite a few eyebrows himself, but for different reasons. Quarterback McMahon, with his punk haircut and black glasses generated plenty of excitement on his own with his cockyness and his personalized headbands. The 1985-86 season was exciting and full of surprises, but when the locker room doors closed after Super Bowl XX, the Bears were the ones celebrating while the Patriots were probably still trying to figure out what hit them. 22 — Campus Life
