Sportshoopla Week 8 poll

This was done with a pen and paper and a calculator, so I'm gonna go ahead and say this will be the last time I add up the polls. I would have stopped about 1/4 in if I didn't give my word.

No it’s real. We’ll see this week but I put it up after week 2 or 3. Pgh is a joke right now. There’s some real issues. we cover them on the pgh board.

Tomlin has been very questionable our st stinks

our o coordinator is a joke. We can’t develop players.

our d coordinator is a hot mess sans the past two weeks.

it’s just realism

I get the current concerns and issues. Of course I don’t have near the sense of where the team is as you all do.

But that organization and logo would never be considered a joke to any Raiders fan. We have a family that’s been Raiders fans since the 60s, me since age 5, 1981. Moving to Vegas is a joke. Be thankful for what you have. the Steelers legacy and world wide brand certainly have a lot to take pride in, even in a losing season, i know y’all aren’t used to many of those. 3 head coaches over several decades, compare that to the Raiders, a team that should carry the same legacy the Steelers do, but don’t. FWIW...

Thank You @Chewbaccer and hopefully, @iowajerms is back soon and all is well with him and his family. If he is still M.I.A. next week, I will compile the poll.

Oh I agree. It’s also a half hearted joke. Most Steelers fans on this board are pretty light hearted, and realistic. Proud as hell of the team, frustrated with the way things are. Love the legacy. Bleed black and gold, and are in your face homers. Trust me . Imho there’s some only a handful of logos that have “legacy” value, the Steelers are one of them.

I went to a Ducks vs Huskies game back in the day in Seattle. Next day we hit the Seahawks vs Steelers. We were already in yellow and at that time had no reason to root for the Hawks. It was crazy how many terrible towels were being swung, in SEATTLE! Lol. Like a lot. We blended in with the Pittsburgh people and they didn’t even realize our yellow gear was Ducks fear. Cool peeps.

 

[WhiteMamba]

Oh, Ducks and Steelers both lost.

Ha good to hear! AlwYs travel well! God they were nice. In 2005 I went to Denver for the afc championship game. Really nice fans. But seriously, tht stadium was 40% street fan for Conference championship game.

That’s too bad. That’s why I love college ball. I love going to live football games and there is zero corporate influence in the stands.

I can’t imagine how corporate the Raiders will be in Vegas. I’m honestly going to make a change to the Vikings. Family came from there, so why not. Nearly 40 years a Raiders fan about to end. It’s sad.

Las Vegas Raiders.

You’re probably right. But it’s shameful.

If that wasn’t 2017 - that was a long, long, long time ago

It may have been the last time they beat UO before the streak. That game where Reggie Williams went nuts. I think the final was 42-14.
