Or just good<BR/><BR/>Will the offensive line open holes for Austin Scott? If they do, will Scott actuall run through them? Or around them?<BR/><BR/>And the biggest one: Will Morelli make the season crushing mistake like he did last year against Ohio State? <BR/><BR/>Penn State had as good a shot as anyone did during the regular season, driving for the tying score late in the 4th quarter, when Morelli threw a pick 6. <BR/><BR/>I know I seem like I drink a lot of Penn State cool aid, but Morelli's performance in the Outback Bowl didn't inspire me as much as a lot of my friends.<BR/><BR/>The defense and Tony Hunt won that game, not Anthony MorelliAdamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523236755993371842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-70956053729803943182007-08-22T19:14:00.000-04:002007-08-22T19:14:00.000-04:00Adam, just wondering, will you be writing the post...Adam, just wondering, will you be writing the post about why Penn State Will Be Better Than the Steelers in 2007?<BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, it could be more convincing than the Oakland Raiders article.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08811858639259602946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-41072635861762421342007-08-22T16:28:00.000-04:002007-08-22T16:28:00.000-04:00Dear Pitt Student,First off. Sorry to hear about ...Dear Pitt Student,<BR/><BR/>First off. Sorry to hear about you going to Pitt. <BR/><BR/>Second, don't be so hard on my Buccos. I wouldn't call our young pitching "bad". Its hard to go after Gorzo for being 11-7 with an ERA in the 3s when he plays for Pittsburgh. Snell has been hard luck all year, or he'd be around Gorzo's record as well. Finally, Maholm is coming around after a rough start, and would say he is a solid #3. <BR/><BR/>Unfortunately the 4-5 guys ae aging vets who suck.<BR/><BR/>The offense is also coming around lately...O what the hell am I doing?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, nice write up. I'm also proud of the commentors for actually acknowleging that the Pats are better. It backs up my view that good blogs are better than good radio talk shows. If Mark Madden said this to his audience, people would be going nuts on him.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523236755993371842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-21958973396299609732007-08-22T15:09:00.000-04:002007-08-22T15:09:00.000-04:00Thanks for all the positive feedback.

A few responses and clarifications:<BR/><BR/>Bruce: My geography skills weren't that good at the time.<BR/><BR/>Steeltown Mike: About the All-Stars, I was trying to say that if this series were done for the Pirates, the only serious articles would be why teams like the Royals or Nationals would be better than the Bucs. The Dmitri Young line was kind of a nonsequitur, although that would've been a lot clearer if I had said the word Nationals.<BR/><BR/>Pacman: Glad someone realized that about Gardocki.<BR/><BR/>PO/NO Nation: It was '94 or '95 when I started watching football and the Pats. I didn't watch the team with as much intensity and scrutiny as I do now, but I still followed them game-by-game and collected Pats stuff.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for your comments.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06421420573908957203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-16759541580918899852007-08-22T14:46:00.000-04:002007-08-22T14:46:00.000-04:00Wow... this post was written with all of the egoce...Wow... this post was written with all of the egocentrics of a New Yorker, but still had the whiny undertone of a typical Boston fan.

But, most glaringly, their O-line is better than the Steelers' practically man-for-man.<BR/><BR/>Splitting hairs:<BR/><BR/>Pirates lone All-Star candidate was 2006 Batting Champ Freddy Sanchez. Dmitri Young was for the Washington Nationals.<BR/><BR/>...<BR/><BR/>Yeah.

However can I attack a couple points made by Andrew. <BR/><BR/>"Joey Porter is a Dolphin. Adalius Thomas is a Patriot. Peezy’s arguably better, but he won’t do the Steelers any good being in Miami."<BR/><BR/>Come on. Joey Porter is better than Adalius Thomas. Seriously? He won't be missed. Especially by mini-horses.<BR/><BR/>"No more Chris Gardocki." Yeah, yeah, yeah. Never had a punt blocked... Never had one inside the 10 either. Bye Chris. At least we won't have to listen to that stat everytime we punt this year.<BR/><BR/>Finally, since you'll be attending PITT and probably coming back to read these comments... just ignore anything Adam is surely going to write about PITT, Penn State, or PITT versus Penn State.<BR/><BR/>Otherwise good article.Justin_Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07605294384091523197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-72174967952819211012007-08-22T13:02:00.000-04:002007-08-22T13:02:00.000-04:00Not a bad post, all said.

I agree that the Pats are now one of the best run organizations in the NFL.<BR/><BR/>However, being screwed because we don't have NoBlockie Gardocki? heh. You haven't seen the new kid, have you?<BR/><BR/>I look forward a fantastic game every time the Stiller and Pats play each other. There's a case to be made that the Pats are the Bizarro Stillers, and vice versa. Both play ugly, beautiful smashmouth football. Both run a blitz happy 3-4. Both have a great owner.<BR/><BR/>If you can't get excited for a Pats/Steelers game, you might be broken, and are probably a communist.Dr Obvioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00966038406811006557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29893900.post-74557156352116118212007-08-22T12:44:00.000-04:002007-08-22T12:44:00.000-04:00Mr. Schall states: "I couldn’t understand why the ...Mr. Schall states: "I couldn’t understand why the Jets and Giants played in Jersey and decided to pick up the next closest team"<BR/><BR/>Uh, I know it is not much of a choice but wouldn't Philly be the next closest team?<BR/><BR/>I think EVERYONE knows the Pats will be better than the Steelers. My advice to this Pitt frosh is to take an English Composition class to understand how to make a point rather than rambling on.<BR/><BR/>Just watch Pats fans. Both Harrison and Maroney will miss games due to injuries.rhodepophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01936850458886707066noreply@blogger.com
