------------------------------------------------------------ I'm a west coast fan in general, having been born in Eugene, Oregon and spending my Junior High School and High School in Southern California, so I was leaning toward Seattle. But Jerome Bettis started as a Ram, so I wasn't completely bummed. However, I hesitate to blame the officiating (though I also think that was a bad call in the end zone). I thought Seattle had every opportunity to win, but when the plays HAD to be made, the Steelers made them, Seattle didn't. There have been some really good Superbowls in the past, some of which even lived up to the hype. This one was average. A gripe I do have is the favoritism for the Steelers by much of the media (at least that is my persception), Cower this and Bettis that. Truthfully, not as much as gripe as an observation. Still, Pittsburg made that plays when they had to and Seattle didn't take advantage of their opportunities. Next up, NCAA--my favorite event of the year. Were is possible, I'd watch every game in the tournament. George a _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
