Coach Smith Remembers His Roots

Until recently, very few people had ever heard of Big Sandy, Texas.  It’s a small town that had about 1,000 residents in 1958 when Smith was born.  A writer from the Chicago Sun-Times took a close look at Big Sandy recently, now that one of their own has officially made the “big-time” and will be coaching in the Super Bowl.

The town has come together in recent days to honor Smith with signs, Bear jerseys and proposed permanent road signs, although many would like to see how the game turns out before printing the messages.  If you’d like to see how the game turns out, you can do so in-person by logging onto StubHub.com and choosing from available Super Bowl tickets.
