Wanda and other Great Gators,
I personally have become a Pittsburg fan since I moved to Northwestern PA some 18 years ago. One of the things I really like about Pittsburg is that they almost always have a few Gators on their team. The players are also pretty accessible to the public and often play exhibition basketball games with the local small towns in the region. I have had the opportunity to see some of my fellow Gators that way over the years. Another reason to like Pittsburg is that they are a real blue collar team. I am particularly thrilled that when I watch Big Ben play, I am reminded so much of Tim Tebow. I really hope that Tim might become a Steeler some day. He would be a great understudy for Big Ben. (If they can work on Tim's release, I think he may actually be better that Ben some day.) It is really uncanny how much the two play alike. I might add that Big Ben gets hit as much or more than any other QB in pro football. The reason he is so successful is that they often hit him with their best shot and he simply refuses to quit and somehow manages to squirm out of their grasp and make that great throw down field. For me this year's football season will be perfect if Urban Meyer scores another top ten recruiting class. Gators Nation Champion, Tebow and Spikes return, Superbowl championship, and then a great recruiting class! Could it get any better?

I thought I'd be for the underdog until they said Darnell Docket AND I remembered that it was Kurt Warner playing with the St. Louis Rams that beat the Tennessee Titans in the 2000 Super Bowl. I don't like the Steelers either, but they were the lesser of the two evils!!! :-) Wanda ----- Original Message ----- From: Helen Huntley <mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, February 02, 2009 8:44 AM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: Super Bowl I had pretty much ignored the Super Bowl (despite it being close to home), and was thinking about rooting for the underdog until they called Darnell Dockett's name. That was enough for me. Go Steelers! On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 9:39 AM, Gatornet Admin <[email protected]> wrote: Me, too. We had a Super Bowl Party after church last night, and a lot of people were amazed at how I had become a Steelers fan when normally I despise professional sports. I told them I wasn't a Steelers fan, it's just that I despise Dockett and Boldin that much! Besides that, the Card's had NO GATORS on their roster and at least the Steelers had one (Max Starks).
