I'm happy to say that the Giants have the same record as the Steelers now, 11-3. I'm hoping to see them together in the Suberbowl. I really think the Steelers have a good chance of winning the Superbowl this year. It will be close, but I think they can come out on top. I wish I had a chance to see one of their games this year, instead of getting the chance to go to so many Giants games (because I'm in the area), but nonetheless, I guess any football game is fun. I'm going to the Giants game this weekend, which was changed from a 4pm game to an 8pm game. With their losses to the Eagles and the Cowboys in the last two weeks, I hope to see them come out on top, because I'll be with a bunch of cranky Giants fans after the game if they don't and also because I'd like to see them start winning some games so they can possibly and hopefully face the Steelers in the Superbowl. I guess I'm getting a little ahead of myself since playoffs still have to go on...but nonetheless, go Steelers!

Pitt vs WVU

So, I know I haven't posted in awhile and I know that this is a bit late, but I thought I'd write about my experience at the Pitt/WVU game. I have a sister who goes to Pitt and a sister who goes to WVU, so it was very interesting when my family and I took a trip out to Pittsburgh for the game. Of course, I was torn on which team to root for, but when I was placed in the student Pitt student section with my older sister, I ended up rooting for Pittsburgh. It was a fun game because it was so close, and it made me really wish that I went to a school that was big on football. Going to so many football games this year has made me realize my true interest in football, it's fun and exciting to be at the games. I love it! Besides the fact that my younger sister was quite disappointed after the game, we all had a good time. I went with my mom, dad, sisters, grandpa, cousin and friend. It was about half and half on which teams everyone was rooting for. Because my mom is a WVU alumni, she was rooting for the mountaineers of course. I was glad I was able to sit in the student section because We were on the bottom row, right next to one of the goal posts. The game was close, right up to the last second, but Pitt took the win, 19-15, in the ever so popular annual Backyard Brawl. I must say, Pitt really dominated the majority of the game. My sister says that WVU didn't play their best, which may be true, but Pitt did come out on top. What I was most excited about was the atmosphere. I don't really get the true feeling of a college football game here at Hofstra, maybe it's because our football team isn't "top notch," but I really don't know. That's one thing I wish we had though, is a good football team, it would make for a lot of good times. Oh well.
