  1. It is crazy how the second driver has fared for that team. A ton of circumstances but, you’d have to figure that they’d get it right, eventually.
  2. Seems appropriate
  3. It’s a shame that he is such an asshole because he does play hard and is good but, the asshole factor is so hard to overcome.
  4. On ESPN it is reported that he has a pelvic fracture. Not sure how serious, or how long it will keep him out.
  5. I find that to be pretty sad. I’ve been going to games/events with credentials for over 30 years. I’ve been on the inside and outside as a writer and always viewed my duty just to write what I saw & what happened. I never had to cover the Steelers as a weekly writer, just some features over the years, so that was easy but, I wrote about Pitt Football through some of the worst games, ever (go back and look at our 1996 season and see how epically horrendous that was), and I did have to parse words and not let feelings get involved. Just stick to the facts, I reckon, and you won’t get in trouble. Now, columnists have a much different row to hoe than guys who cover every day.
  6. At FSU Norvell has fired his coordinators following the blowout at Notre Dame.
  7. I reckon you are correct. I see that Jones is listed as being worth $15.7 billion and the Cowboys franchise as being worth over $10 billion. There is no incentive when you pretty much print your own money.
  8. Does anyone in the Dallas, or Texas, media ever challenge the Jones Family and how they have destroyed the football aspect of the franchise all while just stealing money? Or, are they afraid to because their access and credentials will be revoked?
  9. I agree the call on the field was not correct. I was commenting on where I actually thought the spot would be after review.
  10. It is frustrating to see calls not made. The non-call against Watt in the end zone was a hold and there are so many others during a game. And yes, I want the Steelers to win but, I have watched more than enough to know there are so many of those plays. Review of the 4th down reception and spot. Looks like he is inches short, or not. Not sure you can overturn the call on the field.
  11. That was a prayer of a pass. Terrific catch by Williams. Well done Steelers.
  12. Trailing 21-27 the Steelers fumble at the one giving Washington the ball. Third and 8, with 6:00 to play Steelers force a punt. Watt was held in the end zone on second down but, should get good position into Washington’s side of the field.
  13. So let it be written, so let it be done.
  14. The backup QB is the one from Lake Travis. That’s Nate Yarnell. The starter, Eli Holstein, transfer from Alabama, was knocked out with a shot to the head. Rough game and bad result. I’m staying up to watch the end of this BYU at Utah game. Might as well watch.
  15. Do you mean a sense of urgency in games in that we get up for certain games and in others just shit the bed?
  16. Gotta be way better than this. Just gotta.
  17. You misinterpreted, I like him. I’m saying, time to shine
  18. We have only ourselves to blame. Offense has been shit for four games now. Gotta make adjustments when the shit that worked against Kent State doesn’t work against Cal, Syracuse, SMU and now UVa
  19. QB is from Lake Travis, HS. Time to shine
  20. What a terrible turn of events for the Pitt game. Pitt stops UVa on a rugby scrum on 4th & 1 but the refs overrule and say that they were not ready so “do over”. UVa converts. Ugh
  21. 3rd and 15 and Pitt gives up a conversion. Terrible. On the blitz the LB was a quarter of a step late to the QB. UVa at the Pitt 27. Have to hold them to a FG at most.
  22. Called for another holding on the successful 2-pt conversion that would have tied the game. Pitt with 10 penalties to four for UVa. 19-21 with UVa in teh lead. A lot of time to play. This feels like a very long game, and it is.
  23. For the love of God our offense has turned to shit. Holstein took a shot to the head and he is out. Our offensive line just is getting whooped the last 3.5 games. We are now 10 for our last 48 3rd down attempts. Defense is getting no help. UVa leads, 21-13, as we get ready to start the 4th.
  24. Or, the Pitt offense. It is 8 for its last 41 third down attempts
