Itchygomba69 0 Posted January 27, 2006 7 out of 10 people polled out ofa Seattle Newstation (I think it was the CBS station) said the Steelers were gonna win, way to support your team you yuppies!! I was watching on ESPN Yesterday before I had to go to work, the SuperBowl highlight of SuperBowl XXXI where the Packer beat the Patriots, now I am a big Packers fan being my 2nd Favorite team, but Holmgren (SP) was totally outcoached by Parcells and they won on just some great Special Teams Plays, Really the more I remember about the game, I think New England Dominated most of it.

Capt_Picard 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Sorry VBG, but I don't think is will be the Steelers just for the fact people don't see the Seahawks as a threat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VaBeachGuy 12 Posted January 29, 2006 Sorry VBG, but I don't think is will be the Steelers just for the fact people don't see the Seahawks as a threat. I think the Steelers do, what the general public thinks doesn't really matter when it comes down to the game. I've watched all of the Steelers games this season and I've watched all of the Seahawks games this year, I am just of the opinion that the Steelers are the stronger of the 2. Not to mention that in terms of strength of schedule the Seahawks ranked 32nd out of 32 (the Colts were 31st). That's not to say that the Seahawks have no chance, but in my opinion it will be the Steelers day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Itchygomba69 0 Posted January 29, 2006 Trust me the steelers are not taking the team lightly, actually they said they don't like even being favored, but I gotta go with VBG when you face the Cardinals and 49ers 2 times in your schedule thats like having 4 extra bye weeks BTW Dick (whoo hoo) Hoak a coach for the steelers is my dad's 3rd cousin, what that makes me of him, I gots no clue Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted January 29, 2006 Yeah the upset special hasn't held up since the Patriots were the underdogs, but Seattle didn't get this far by being lucky either. Hence I don't have them by a wide margin either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find that good reason to get a new stadium. *So what if it's open air? You can tell who the away team fans are. *Some things need change and it looks good. *It might be quest field, but no one calls it that in western Washington. They just call is The Seahawks Stadium. *There is no proof showing that if they were in the AFC that they wouldn't have made it this far. *Thw owner of the Seahawks is Paul Allen... enough said. *I've never seen the Eagles' log colors, but come on. How many colors can you really use. Besides, it looks good on the Seahawks. *Two words: Space Needle. *At least it's not Starbucks. I know both are from Seattle, but I personally make my own. *What?

Itchygomba69 0 Posted January 31, 2006 They tried here in Pitsburgh, but our Riverboats put it out of Business quickly Kor I liked the Water Taxi's in Baltimore, so its all good, you guys got the baseball stadium that changed all baseball stadiums and still ranks in the top 2 Ive visited and at least Baltimore has a NFL Legacy like the Colts NFL Chamiponshps and Superbowl history (should of never left for Indy) and the Browns, i mean Ravens won the Superbowl a few years back ok thewhole AFC NFC Switch for the Hawks, if they were still in the afc west, they ould of played Chargers, Raiders, Broncos, Chiefs, They would of Split games with the Chiefs, Chargers, and Broncos, lost both to Denver, and they would of ad to play the NFC East the hardest division in the NFC, so their strength of Schedule would of went up and I bet they would of had 6 losses, not good enough to get the 6th Wild Card, and hence missed the playoffs, FYI the Seahawks Strenght of Schedule was 32nd, dead last in the NFL, not the Steelers were 18th, right in the Middle, I mean when you play the Rams, Cardnials, and 49ers in your division, thats like having 6 extra bye weeks! I know College Schedules (notre Dame) that were alot harder then theirs, now can you dig that......SUCKA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Itchygomba69 0 Posted January 31, 2006 yeah I almost feel bad for the Ravens, almost They need 2 things, a coaching change and a real QB Steelers fans stockpile Terrible Towels for Super BowlDANIEL LOVERING Associated Press PITTSBURGH - For Steelers fans, rooting for the home team is almost unimaginable without a Terrible Towel. Some stores are even running out of them. The towel was conceived as "a gimmick that would more closely involve the fans with the team," said Myron Cope, a retired sportscaster who teamed with a promotion director at WTAE radio to invent the accessory in 1975. The black-and-gold terry cloths have come to symbolize the Steel City and its storied football team. McArthur Towel & Sports Co. of Baraboo, Wis., expects to produce nearly 1 million Terrible Towels this year, the largest number ever. As the Steelers prepare for Sunday's Super Bowl in Detroit, Terrible Towels again are essential for any true Steelers fan. "Everyone just has to have a Terrible Towel," said Marcia Hellman, 45, who manages Mike Feinberg Co., a leading seller of Steelers paraphernalia. "It's part of the Steelers." Hellman said the store, founded decades ago by her father, has temporarily run out of the towels in recent days; the demand has been the strongest she's seen in 20 years. Some customers have bought as many as 200 Terrible Towels at a time. Ron Makay, a 40-year-old streetside vendor, said he sold 50 towels in roughly 20 minutes. Waving one, he said, is "the epitome" of Steelers support. Cope wanted simple items to stir up the fans, "something that everybody has and that will not endanger the person sitting next to them or in front of them." "I thought on it for a little bit and I said that's it, and we'll call it the Terrible Towel," he said. "And I'll be on radio and television yelling at people to bring out a yellow, gold or black towel to the game. And I'll say the Terrible Towel is poised to strike." Cope said the towel's catchy name was the result of "a brainstorm" and could inspire "strange things" to happen to Steelers opponents. "The Terrible Towel has mysterious connotations. ... You have to use your imagination," he said. In 1996, Cope gave the Terrible Towel trademark to the Allegheny Valley School, a facility for the mentally retarded. Cope has an autistic son, Danny, who has lived at Allegheny Valley for more than 20 years. Sales of the towels have generated more than $300,000 for the school this season and more than $1 million over the past nine years, said Dorothy Hunter Gordon, the school's chief development officer. Tim Carey, merchandising manager for the Steelers, said there was "a frenzy" of demand and that they tended to sell in large numbers because of their low cost. "Because it retails for seven or eight bucks, it's really pretty affordable," he said. "You have one on your car, you have one on your TV. You can have more than one." Other teams, including the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers, have tried to introduce their own towels. "Like all copycats, they flop," Cope said. "Maybe they (fans) sit on them and if they take them home they use them for dust rags." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kor37 9 Posted January 31, 2006 I have a terrible towel myself. I take it to the stadium when the Ravens play the Steelers. I won't tell you what I do with it though. Needless to say, the Steelers fans are never amused......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
