The Browns and Steelers are virtual co-favorites in the AFC North, according to early odds.

Did the Post-Gazette somehow mistakenly hire my mother as a writer? (love you mom!)

Anyway, here is the Steelers 2008 Season schedule. I am missing all of these games because I will be in Hong Kong. If you are in Hong Kong and you are reading this, then please contact me immediately so we can start making 4am plans to watch these games! Also, these times are EST, if somebody knows these times in HKT, please help me because thinking about it hurts my head.

I refuse to watch Sportscenter or even Inside the NFL (which is like my most favorite show ever, regardless of Steelers coverage). I also don't remember last Saturday's game - not due to beer consumption (although there was), but I think I have subconsciously blocked it out. People do things like this to cope with tragic events.

I only got to wear my 75th Anniversary edition Troy Polamalu throwback jersey Christmas present twice!

It's so hard to believe there's 9 more months left until Steelers football.

ps - thanks for the great season, guys. If it really is over. Sigh.

Steely McBeam

Congratulations to Diane Roles from Valencia, Pa., who won premium seating for the Steelers' Sept. 16 home opener against Buffalo and a Steelers throwback helmet and jersey.

?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't know there was a prize! I would have entered "Beam Cowher".

After a much-needed summer break, you've got your most beloved Steelers blogger back! Yes, and the Steelers themselves as well.

I've been making HUGE plans! I'm moving to Irvine, CA in a month for grad school to attend UC Irvine's MBA program. So please excuse me for neglecting my blogging duties.

Do any of my readers live in the OC? Contact me - I'll need a new crew to watch the games with. It's always the best to start off a great football Sunday morning at 10am with a pitcher and friends!

On an amazingly AWESOME note, I may be featured in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review for "over-the-top" Steelers fans. I just got this email today:

I'm doing a story this week on Steelers fans who have done odd or interesting things to show their love for the team. I've got a guy in Clairton who built a 13-foot high replica of the Lombardi Tropy in the "sports bar" in his home. I'm interested in people like this if you know any. Please let me know ASAP how I can contact them, the story is running on Sunday.

Then I wrote this back:

I'm the biggest Steelers fan I know in Southern California. But you've already seen my blog :) Oh, and there was the guy who had that Steelers funeral. I'm excited to see your piece this weekend!

I gave him my digits and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This may be the most exciting thing to happen to this blog, ever!

]]>Name the Steelers mascothttp://www.yinzluvsteelers.com/journal/2007/5/11/name-the-steelers-mascot.htmlBettina2007-05-11T22:13:17Z

I believe he already has a name.

Um, Bill Cowher?

]]>Buy Bill Cowher's Junk!http://www.yinzluvsteelers.com/journal/2007/4/26/buy-bill-cowhers-junk.htmlBettina2007-04-26T16:56:15ZNow before you get very excited, it is all seriously junk. I read in the Post Gazette about how the Cowher family is leaving stuff behind in Pittsburgh for auction.

Immediately I wondered if I would be able to purchase a Bill Cowher mockneck. Used or unused. Wouldn't matter to me. Pit stains might be better anyway? I am digressing.

Sooooo the auction starts this Saturday, 4/28. If you like furniture pieces dating all the way back to the 1990's, then this auction is for you.

My personal favorite is the 9'6" ARTIFICIAL FICUS TREE. (1990's) Four trunks with attached silk leaves, contained in a painted Italian terra cotta planter. Condition: age appropriate wear. Dimensions: 114"H. planter diameter 21 1/2". The auction house estimates it will sell anywhere between $100-$200.

Who would buy this

These are the only Steelers-related items in the auction:

Kind of cute

To view the rest of the items, go to Dargate Auctions and look at lots 1211-1277. Happy bidding!

Joey Porter has got some lips. If I were Bill Cowher I would never wash my neck again.

I love videos of the TV.
