Hey Yinzers,
So the steelers are banged up knocked down and after last night they are 4-1 heading into the bye week. Well kiss it. I know I know everyone picked the Jax to beat us including alot of Pittsburgh People. When will people realize that the Steelers this year are really good. There are alot of things that we have to address though:
1. O-Line: the Oline is holding on by a thread, But I will take it! This is why you draft 2 and 3 deep at pro positions. If they were not good in this league they would not be on our roster.
2. Keep Ben from Fetal position: this goes with the first thing about the O line- wake up pick up blocks and give him time in the pocket. No more Alan Faneca references please.
3. Keep Jeff Reed from hurting himself. Last night it was reported late that Jeff reed while warming up on the sidelines injured himself- we will find out today the extent of the injury. This is the most significant injury. Reed is the best and most consistent steeler we have on many levels. Please hope for a fast recovery.
Penguins Hockey
The Pens opened the 2008- 2009 season in Stockholm Sweden , great. Thanks for letting us not see all of the games on VS. Because of wacky scheduling and ( my work schedule) I didn't get to see one ounce of Pens hockey this weekend. Give me a break. We split the series 1-1 with the Ottawa Crybabies. Pens next game is Saturday at the Igloo vs the Devils.
Gamecocks
Ok , Who let this team in? A team that doesn't give up , a Team that came back twice- give me a break. Chris Smelley looked magnificent in the big win over OLE miss this weekend. For a team that has been ridiculed all over town this weekend - way to go out and outplay, out coach and out - win another sub par team. This win is big for alot of reasons, first of all Ole Miss was coming off of beating Florida. We on the other hand are trying to put the season back together one game at a time. - This week we go into Lexington and I hope we kick Rich Brooks and those kitty kats. Man I hate KY.
Other Big winners this weekend:
Penn State: 6-0
Mizzou: First win in Nebraska since Electricity
Pitt: Pulling out a huge win on Thursday over South Florida
Have a great Monday!

hey man, if you wanted to know...the pens didnt look too bad this weekend. there are some significant holes we have to fill especially on the power play with our starting pair (gonchar and whitney) both out and one of our shooters (petr sykora) out. even with those injuries, the young-ns did pretty good. letang and goligosky played point on the power play, both of which have tremendous shots, but are frightful of showing it, and our grinders like tyler kennedy and matt cooke continue to work hard and get into the right places. just give them a couple games to get used to the adversity and we will be studs in the east again this year.
