In which sports does Pitt play YSU? i realize since Penn State fled the Big East, that rivalry is no more, but when i was at Pitt, granted, many moons agoI guess football...... a few powder puffs early in the season, I guess.
I went to Pitt from '64 to '68. When did you go?

I am not necessarily anti-canuck, and admire the parts as well, but it seems as though the only superbowl talent we get lately is foreignors of no-talent American skanks who have to do some really stupid crap for attention.
I would like to see talented Americans for halftime. Even if I don't watch the show, tht's my kids favorite part.

Throw in a little Shanai and I'm 'wicha'.That one year Shania sang at the SB she looked like a space age dominatrix.

It's the symbol of America in the (bald) Eagles versus those who love America, the Patriots.
I think the Pats have the edge. How can you pick against what they have done? Either way, America can't lose.
I'd play the 'over' and hope for an entertaining game.

How much of Youngstown is Steeler country and how much is Browns land?

Who needs prognosticating threads? Everyone knows that it is going to be a Corey Dillon Day.112 yards I predict for a guy I always thought was great playing against my Steelers all those years. I always thought he was one of the top three or so backs in the NFL!! I still think so.

He's my pick for the game's MVP.

I agree! I don't watch the game for the half-time show, in fact I intentionally avoid watching it. I like the commercials but the good ones tend to be shown in the first quarter. All I really want is to watch a good football game.

The Eagles wear the colors of Saudi Arabia
The Patriots wear the colors of "Old Glory"

my brother lives near Y'town, but is originally from Pittsburgh and so he is a Steeler fan. i think that it may be even up, actually. my SIL won a chance for my nephew to do a placekicking clinic with the Steeler kicker, at their local grocery store. so both teams are featured in that area.

I didn't even know about Janet Jackson until after the game.Same here. I always change the channel during the halftime show. It used to be "In Living Color", then "Beavis and Butthead", and nowadays it's either "The Simpsons" or something on Comedy Central that will run a special halftime show with a timer telling you when the second half starts.
To: Dissident Aggressor
I'd rather watch that British streaker guy running around the 50yrd. line in his plastic thong while trying to dodge security. Now that's entertainment!LOL.
How about all the fans who aren't taking a leak at halftime getting to watch Barbara Boxer come her hair with a firecracker?

I can't stand the longer halftime and I know the teams really hate it.
To: ops33
I agree, and they better not screw up the National Anthemall that ornamentation, all the the self-indulgence of these singers, the sickening extra notes that have no place in the song.... it's enought to make you puke. Sing it straight, kiddies.
