| Cain will also wear #44 for the Bears |
This article has a section on Jeremy Cain's return to the Bears. Back in 2002, Mrs Blog and I went to the UMass -North Carolina State game. Sat in the same row as Mrs Whipple and the two boys. Cain was the best defensive player on the field that day. Cain led the UMass defense with 12 tackles, two TFL, two BKUP's and a forced fumble. Seems like a long time ago now.
