MID WEEK REPORT

The Floss figured it out. I know why no blog ideas have came into my head. It's because...SPORTS RIGHT NOW ARE A FUCKING DREAM(SANS SHADY). Really there has been nothing to complain about which hurts the Floss' blog game. So here come some happy, positive thoughts, and of course some not so happy:

**When the Steelers were 5-1, the Floss said that all players better step up because this was a wide open AFC race. Well we are here. A home AFC Title game. Coach T deserves much credit for having this team so ready. Sunday at 6:30 will be a WAR. I know it is cliche, but it is true. However, with the long layoff for *cough* Super Bowl XLIII *cough*, the Steelers better lay it all out on the field. There is nothing to suggest they won't. The Floss isn't going to predict this one because well who cares what I say.

**The Floss also received tickets for the next two Pitt basketball home games. Tonight versus South Florida where the Floss will probably be drunkest in attendance. Pause

Just poured a 7UP and Three Olives Cherry drink. No bullshit here. Tonight should be a fairly easy win. The Floss predicts that Pitt covers the 21 that they are laying. South Florida is the last game before a normal BE stretch of @Louisville, Syracuse, @WVU, @Villanova, Notre Dame. Those are a huge 5 games. I don't think Pitt necessarily needs to prove anything with those three games. I think 3-2 would be respectable, 4-1 would be very impressive, and 5-0 would be fanfuckingtastic.

**The Floss is again going to apologize to Coach K and his Devils. The Floss was very very wrong about them. They are a solid team, and I think Coach K is having one of his best seasons as a coach, IMO. Singler is probably a top 10 to 15 player in the country, but outside of him they really don't have many superstars. Hendo, Nolan Smith, and Jon Scheyer are all about top 15 at their positions, but still not superstars. This team is really buying into what Coach K is selling. They also are benefiting from not having major impacts from freshmen because they can't be trusted night in and night out.

**Another thing, seeding around tourney time better take note to the ACC and Big East's superiority as far as conferences go. The ACC has 4 in the top 10, while the BE has 8 in the top 25, not to mention numero uno. I was sick of listening about the B12 and SEC dominance in football. The selection and seeding committee better reward both of these conferences.

**Shady McCoy. While I don't agree with his decision at all, I still love what he did for this university. Shady McCoy was the only reason Pitt football was watchable last year(07). He basically won us the game on 12-1-07 against the Mountainqueers, which is still my most exciting day as a student. He led us to our first bowl game in 4 years/DROF's college career. I think coming back for one more year would have put him in the top 15 as a lock. I also know that family pressure is the reason he declared. No doubt in my mind that he wanted to come back, but his mom and brother wanted the money now. I can't argue with listening to your momma, but I think she didn't look ahead on this one. Some tricky dealings with agents definitely forced this. O well.
