Siren fails to slow down Bears

This is a test. This is only a test.


If this were a real emergency, the Bears would have been running and screaming and praying to God (or is it Ditka?) (trick question!) to have mercy on their souls.


An overcast sky and a slight breeze greeted the Bears on Tuesday when they arrived to the practice field at Olivet Nazarene University. One hour later, at 10 a.m. on the nose tackle, something else greeted them.


It was a tornado siren.


Whirrr-WHIRRR-Whirrr-WHIRRR.


Hut, hut, hike!


Whirrr-WHIRRR-Whirrr-WHIRRR.


"That's the first time since I've been here that I've heard the sirens go off," veteran running back Michael Bush said with a smile. "But it didn't alarm me or anything."


Possibly, this is because Bush is a human wrecking ball at 6-foot-1 and 245 pounds. Alternatively, this is because Bush and his teammates were warned ahead of time that the nearby siren would blare at 10 a.
