  1. I just looked at some satellite shots of that stadium. We played down there in September 1997 and if I remember correctly the stadium had two open ends. That’s a lot of construction. A friend of mine, our SID at the time, almost got killed by a TV that fell out of the broadcasting booth. It fell and landed about three feet behind him as he walked the bleachers. It was crazy. I remember we actually beat them that day. It was a day game and wicked hot, for us from Pittsburgh, and our locker room looked like. A triage unit with guys getting IVs. Anyway, I always took my camera with me and as we were leaving the press box I said to a buddy, “should I take my camera?. I didn’t. Well, the Cougars were driving left to right for what would have been a game-winning score. We were standing at the other end zone, by the Pitt locker room. Houston threw a pass and Chiffon Allen intercepted it at the 3 and returned it 97 yards for a TD. My buddy Steve and I were the only guys at that end of the field, and when Chiffon got to us he was yelling at us, “Yeah Bitch, Yeah Bitch” and flexing. I stood there with my arms crossed because I was pissed that I could have had the cover photo for our magazine. When I went to the Monday Football Luncheon at Pitt Stadium everyone was giving me shit ‘cuz I was in the AP photo, standing there, arms crossed, rather than getting a great photo. Ugh.
  2. Agreed. Terrible game. I hate those types of games.
  3. Come on, how do you come off the kickoff and get a delay of game? Stupid.
  4. 45-0 Indiana at the half over Indiana State. Yikes.
  5. 3-0 followed by a nice defensive series. Come on Houston.
  6. That’s about how he looked at Auburn. Houston should win this game against Colorado, right?
  7. this is pretty good. a relaxed side of Max that we never see.
  8. It's Morganhole, rather than Morgantown We call them Hoopies, which stems from the guys who made the hoops for barrels, I think over in Wheeling. Brokeback MountainQueers. Go Home MountainQueers (with the same cadence they use for their Let's Go......cheer). Morganhole Community College. Nobody really says anything about them if we are not playing them. Things like that but, our most intense hatred is still for PSU, not WVU. I'd say it's possible that half of their student body comes from Pennsylvania. I have friends who played for WVU and they are decent guys. It's not a fun place for us to go because nobody really enjoys getting verbally assaulted, and worse, while walking through the parking lots. They really, really, really hate Pitt and think about it every single day, no matter who it is they are playing. Which is fine. I don't care for them but, I don't spend a lot of energy thinking about them. I just want them to lose every game they play.
  9. I’m looking forward to it as well. The schedule said that the ring walk should be at 11 p.m. est. I should be back home from WVU in time for that.
  10. since we have another weekend of no racing......
  11. Very impressive
  12. This one was a hoot. Peter Sellers was a treasure.
  13. It’s kind of amazing that the company wanted to go to $40 and decided on $150 and still, if anyone wanted them, would have made a bunch of money at $40.
  14. I kept looking at it and yeah, and was waiting on the idiot announcers to mention that. They didn't. I kind of remember that.
  15. I loved Kenny Dryden. Was my favorite goalie of my #2 team. I loved that era of Montreal. The Penguins will always be my #1 but, always broke my heart. I can still name most of that mid-70s roster. Dryden was awesome. R.I.P.
  16. NFL stadium security is pathetic. I’m surprised we don’t have someone killed in one of these altercations. I only go if I work the game and if they give me a parking pass. Otherwise, I stay away.
  17. After starting the game so well Williams has put up rather pedestrian numbers
  18. Changed pretty quickly
  19. Especially after last night. This one sucks
  20. Solid answer by the Bills
  21. I remember back last season I went back and looked at his stats from high school, Alabama and in the NFL and just said, “he’s a bad dude”. He’s a bad dude and I love watching him run the ball.
  22. The AFC should be pretty damned fun this year with the Ravens & Bills looking to overthrow the Chiefs. The clock is running on both of them. I really don’t hate the Ravens. I respect the hell out of their rivalry with the Steelers but, they both have to finally beat the Chiefs before their window closes. I think I’d put my money on the Ravens before the Bills.
