OK - I'm trying an ambitious poll - Top 10 Events All Time

I think he was blue fonting my, at times, fanboy nature.

I was trying to narrow what Steeler moments most people would want to see, and think the IR and X are two good choices.

X gives you Swann doing amazing things, Lambert fighting, a comeback, blocked punt, plus what? 14-15 HOF players on the field?

 

I know he was. So was I.

 

Nice

 

I mentioned the lack of hockey.

Also the Pens-Flyers playoff game that went 5OTs (or maybe 4) and lasted for almost 6 hours.

 

OK, Dr.

How about the day Jerry West was born?
Hot Rod Hundley gunning away?
Or WVU playing ND in the Fiesta Bowl?
Or Bevo Francis lacing them up for Rio Grande?

Sorry, I can't think of anything else wise ass for WV.

 

I don't give enough of a shit about West Virginia sports for that to be much of a putdown. Thanks for playing.

 

I'd have to include an all-star game between MLB and Negro League starts from the 30s or 40s. Some of the talent on the field would have been amazing.
