Super Bowl

[coachgrd]

How many of you are saddling up for the big game? Any unique foods on the menu for your parties?

All I can say is, as a long (l-o-n-g) suffering Browns fan, I can't wait until it's over. Another Stiller victory just adds to the pain of the past 35 years for me. My two favorite teams will always be the Browns and whoever is playing the Stillers!

This area of NW Pa is smack dab in the middle of the Buffalo-Pittsburgh-Cleveland triangle. There was a time when Browns fans were as plentiful as Stiller fans (Buffalo fans always ran a distant third.) Now I seldom see another Brown fan sporing the colors. The Steeler nation, it would seem, has taken over the area.

Oddly enough though, I hardly ever see Pirate gear around, even in the summer. Go figure.

Goooooooooooooooo Cards!

I guess I'm just the opposite of you. My family have been Steeler fans since the mid 60's, so no band wagon jumpers here. I Still like the Brownies though. I lived in the Cleveland area before they were hijacked to Baltimore. Gotta say I was plenty surprised at that move. I had never seen better fans than Browns fans. Now I live in between the two and am not really that into football any more. I'll watch the Superbowl though, never know when there will be another wardrobe malfunction. It'll also be a good reason for taking a day off of this low/no cholesterol diet I've been on since December. I'm thinking quesadillas smothered in salsa and sour cream, makes me hungry just thinking about it.

It should be a real good game considering the Steelers don't want to lose, especially to the Cardinals and don't want to lose a Super Bowl period. One the other hand, the Cards have a great deal at stake here too, in that it's their first Super Bowl and they have a lot to prove in their minds, certainly that they really belong in the league of Super Bowl teams.

We'll all know in the first half, I think, who came to play football and who is "on their game" Sunday. Personally, I'd like to see the Cards win, but only because they've never been there before and as a Philly native originally, I've never liked the Steelers that much.

Good Afternoon Coach,
Well my team aint in it, so I think I will just concentrate on the food !

GO STEELERS

The problem with the enthusiasm for the Browns is that they "jumped ship".

It takes a while for that team loyalty to rebuild. The Steelers have been in Pittsburgh since 8 July 1933, that is sufficient time to build a lot of team loyalty and pride.

Be patient all three of you diehard Browns fans, you will be there again in 50 or 60 years.

Being that I'm a Ram's fan, I'm rooting for the cardnials. Kurt Warner was a great QB for the Rams and I was upset to have seen him go. So go Cards!!

I haven't watched a football game all year and was suprised to hear the Cardinals were any good this year. It's supposed to rain tomorrow afternoon, during the game, so if I'm traped indoors and have everyhing caught up that I'm working on in my workshop, I'll watch some of it. To me, sports are pretty low in the list of things that I find interesting in. Even lower on that list would be the players.

Eddie, that sounds a lot like me. I didn't even know the Super Bowl was tomorrow or who was playing until I saw this thread. I think there was one Sunday afternoon this past year when I was really bored and nothing on TV that I cared about and I watched a football game on TV, or at least part of one, but I've forgotten which game and who was playing.

Gotta correct my earlier post. We watched it here. I had no idea that it didn't start until the evening, so when I got in for the day, it was on the TV. Steph decided she wanted to see it and that we were cheering for Arizona because they are in the South. It made no difference to me either way, but seeing her excitement was entertaining.

Now that it's over, it was a good game.

GO SAINTS!!!----next year will be here s---o---o---n!!

 

[JB4310]

Was a good game, I didn't care who won, but I was rooting for Arizona most of the game so they would stay in the game and keep it close, thought they had it there at the end till Pit scored there last TD, I hate blow outs and always cheer for the underdog.

I am a big sports, and especially football fan. Number one, I love high school football. The best entertainment dollar every Friday night. I have probably missed 5 games in the 35 years since I played in high school. The last 2 years my oldest grandson (now 7) has accompanied his 2 grandpaws to most of our home town high school football games, and he loves it too. I love Texas state playoff high school football games even when my team is out.

I am also a big college football fan, especially a fan of the Texas Longhorns (even though I would never fit in with Austin Texas politics).

I have been a huge Dallas Cowboys fan since they started up in 1960 when I was very young, and I am a big NFL fan period. I'm only sad that the Super Bowl, great as it was, marks the end of the season.

I was hoping the cardinals won, and they played great, but Ben R. pulled it out for the Steelers. My hat is off them them for getting number 6, now more than the cowboys 5 (but the cowboys have still been to 8 super bowls to the steelers 7, a record).

I'll bide my time with basketball, baseball and hockey until 2 a days start again in the middle of August in 100 degree temps.

Yeah, I even watched most of it, too. That's probably my one game limit for 2009.

 

[weldingisfun]

You all are right, it is over till next season. Even my 5 1/2 moth old grandgirl got into the game. Think you can guess which team she supported?












Don't worry everyone, the facepaint was all done with Photoshop. But, the grandgirl did provid the sweet face.

I think we were watching the food channel. Big contest making wedding cakes. The perfect thing to watch when I'm on a diet. Still better than football.

Chuck

Bah! Humbug!

 

[Unclebuck257]

We were sort of cheering for Arizona and the second half of the game was great. Good football game and the last 5 minutes was even better. Both teams did a good job by the end.

No doubt Alan, love it too!

The bowls we used for the dog's food and water are pretty super. They are stainless steel, easy to clean, hold up well, and contain a fair amount of water/food so we don't have to check as much.

Pretty cheap too at WallyWorld.... They have lasted for years and years.

You are talking about Super Bowls for food and water, right?

Later,
Dan
