Chicago sports fans are starting to buy into the hype surrounding their teams. The Bulls and Blackhawks are winning games at an alarming rate, leaving many questioning whether these early successes will translate to sustained success.
A recent poll conducted by the Chicago Sun-Times on social media asked respondents if they were buying into the Bulls' and Blackhawks' strong starts. A resounding "yes" from fans, with one commenter aptly stating, "Why not? It's early." Others chimed in, urging supporters to get behind their teams and see how it goes.
However, things took a turn for the complicated when it came time to choose an ownership family among the McCaskeys, Reinsdorfs, Rickettses, and Wirtzes. The results were underwhelming, with many commenters opting out, saying "None of the above" or simply choosing not to participate.
The final poll asked fans who they believed would win Sunday's Bears-Bengals game in Cincinnati. Predictably, skepticism was high, with one commenter stating, "The Bears have a quarterback problem, as usual." The only certainty seemed to be that Bears fans will continue to pick their team to win, no matter how unlikely it may seem.
Despite the mixed results, the poll did highlight one thing: Chicago sports fans are indeed buying into the hype. Whether this trend will continue remains to be seen. One thing is certain, however: Cubs and White Sox fans still have a long way to go before they can join their Blackhawks and Bears counterparts in blindly supporting their teams.

The Cubs & Sox fans are still tryin' to figure out how 2 get behind their teams, you feel? 
And don't even get me started on the ownership fams 
... it's like, who do we trust, really? 
The Bears fanbase is low-key salty about that QB situation 
Anyways, I'm hyped 2 see how this all plays out! 
️
cubs and sox fans still got some catching up to do 
gotta love the skepticism from that one commenter about the bears' QB situation 
It's funny how people are eager to get behind their teams but get all skeptical when it comes to ownership families or predictions about upcoming games. 
Can't blame them, though - with some of these family dynamics, it's hard to know what's going on sometimes! 
. Like, yeah we get it, the Bulls are on fire 
but let's not forget about the Cubs who have been struggling for decades 
. And don't even get me started on the Bears 
... okay maybe that's a good point because they do seem to be a mess right now. But seriously, it's cool to see fans getting hyped, and I love how some of them are being all rational about it 
. Like, yeah sure why not buy into the hype? It's early game season after all 
. But at the same time, let's not forget that we're all just a bunch of humans with opinions 
️. They're already assuming these teams are gonna win all the time, without even considering the season's been like 2 games in 
. Maybe they should just enjoy the ride and see what happens?
i mean don't get me wrong, it's cool to support your team when they're doing well, but blind loyalty is just not my thing 
and btw, bears QB problem? been said before
