1. Congrats on the win.

but WAY TO MUCH celebrating by SOME defensive players. I hate that, and anyone who does it. :grr:

[tigereye]

3. yeah

they act like they scored a touchdown, with all the gloating. My husband says that's all the pent-up energy, but....

[mvd]

25. I don't really like them as a team, even though..

they are in the same state as me. I don't think you can take much from that game. But they could be good again, if not Super Bowl winner - Cowher instills a winning attitude.

2. Our secretary has a HUGE crush on Troy.

She has his picture all over her office. She is in her sixties - it's pretty funny.

[tigereye]

4. I love to see that long hair flying

and he seems like such a sweet guy.

[Dulcinea]

5. So does my mom!

She was very disappointed to find out he's married--she wanted to fix him up with my sister! :loveya:

[tigereye]

11. he seems to engender that kind of feeling

it's really fun to watch him fly all over the field.

6. Here we go Steelers! Here we go!

:bounce: :bounce:

My Joey was on FIRE!!!! I could stare at Troy all day and I am a happily married woman for 31 years :-).

What a game. I wish I was home.....

[tigereye]

12. it was a nice end to a sad day, since the funeral of the mayor

was the same day.

[SteppingRazor]

7. Stick it in yer eye!

:P





Go Fins!

[tigereye]

13. bwa ha ha ha ha !

seriously, my son couldn't stop talking about how good Dante Culpepper was....

[Cathyclysmic]

8. I was worried at first...

But then they got it together. Hallelujah

[tigereye]

14. well, we turned off the Super Bowl game

at one point, so I guess we have to learn to have more faith!

[Avalux]

9. Woo hoo!!!!!

Willie!

Batch did a lot better than I expected.

And of course - our D rocked!

:toast:

[tigereye]

15. man those guys can run!

Batch was impressive, very poised.

[qanda]

10. Way to go Steelers

I'm so glad the Steelers won last night, the city needed it after losing the mayor. Yesterday was filled with mixed emotions, I laughed and cried watching the funeral of Mayor O'Connor and cheered and danced watching the Steelers win.

16. I had a little extra time

so I went to the Cathedral and stood outside for a while. The horse drawn cortege was something - I've never seen anything like that. It reminded me of something from Joyce's Ulysses. And I liked how they drove the hearse around town to places he loved. I thought that was very cool.

17. A surrealistic moment on the gridiron

or is that "gridahrn" in the 'Burgh? :-)

I almost hate to bring this up among Stillers fans, but -- remember the infamous Thanksgiving "coin toss" game? How could you forget? :eyes: And remember who the quarterback was for the dreaded Detroit Lions?

Some fellow named Batch. Charlie, I think.

Once again, truth proves itself to be stranger than fiction.

[Ravenseye]

21. Charlie Batch is already one of the most beloved QB's in Steelers History

It's almost absurd. He's started 3 games for us, and won all 3. Talk about a good job performance. Also he's a local Pittsburgher, which helps his stature. Also a team player. He signed on with the Steelers without even testing the market because he'd rather stay here as a backup than try competeting as a starter again, even though he's obviously capable (he outplayed Culpepper didn't he?).

[tigereye]

22. alas, no

I've only reconnected with football this year since my son has been bitten by the Steeler/football bug. ;)

I think Batch did well for the two games he qb'ed last year....

[distantearlywarning]

18. Go Steelers!

Maybe this year will be the one for the OTHER thumb. :D

[JVS]

19. Go Pittsburgh!

[XNASA]

20. You're lucky da Bears aren't on your schedule.

[tigereye]

23. I always liked the Bears

I blame Sat. Night Live, otherwise I would never have known who they were.

I like the Cubs, too, actually.

[a kennedy]

24. da bears are on our schedule twice......and I'm not worried.....

no offence.....fantastic defense but the rex man stinks. But really, talk to me when Brett is in the hospital gettin' his life back. Oh yeah, I'm a little nervous about Brett on Sunday playing da bears. He's gonna get killed. :cry: :cry: :cry:
