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.

PITT FOOTBALL SEASON END RECAP
POST SEASON PITT FOOTBALL REVIEW(LONNNNNNNNNNNNG)
QUARTERBACK: Well the one position that never fully developed was the quarterback position. Bill Stull never ended up getting it done. The Big problem with this, he will most likely be the starter next year. We burned Pat Bostick's redshirt season albeit legit because of the concussed Billy Stull. All Pat Bostick did again was win. If you actually go back to the ND game, you will see that Pat Bostick actually threw the ball solidly in that game. Sure he had a couple of bad throws, but he also didn't play much before that. If Pat Bostick started all year, Pitt would be a better team heading into '09. Now we are pretty stuck with an average 5th year senior that probably won't take us anywhere next year. The Floss has a solution here, play Tino. Cut your losses and give a kid 4 years to play. It will help your future. College football is a weird game, you need to be prepared for the future. Tino will let us be prepared. The Floss also wouldn't be against giving Bostick a 2 year window since he has previous experience going into next year, unlike Stully going into this year. Bill Stull is not the answer.
RUNNING BACK: This position is still loaded. Wanny recruits D-Line then RB. Hence why this position is loaded even if Shady doesn't return. The Floss still believes the chances of Shady returning are 60-40, possibly better. Sidenote: This was when I started writing this. Now the Floss believes the chances are 20-80. Honestly, Shady would take us to the BE title next year, IMO. If Shady doesn't come back, the Floss expects a solid 3 RB system for maybe 3 games. Chris Burns will then take over and be a 3 to 4 year starter. Don't sleep on Kevin Collier, the Floss still hasn't given up hope.
WIDE RECEIVER: The position that never improved. The quarterback position regressed, the WR's just never seperated themselves from one another. Jonathan Baldwin never improved. He still will be a starter heading into '09. JB probably will still be a stud. OD actually had a really solid year minus the first few games. He probably would be my starting WR alongside JB next year. His blocking is very solid, which might separate him. TJ and Ced Money are both also ready for another solid year in '09. None of the current freshmen will do anything next year IMO. This position will be solid but not spectacular again in '09.
TIGHT END: This positon doesn't really need talked about. We have 3 SR's coming back for next year, including first team all conference TE Nate Byham. I just wish we had a QB that could utilize them.
O-LEEZY: The Floss loves trying to analyze the O-Line even though he doesn't really know what to look for in a lineman. It is also nice that 4 of the starters are locked in for next year. C-Houser, RG-Malecki, RT-Joe Thomas, LT-Jason Pinkston. However, the LG spot is very up for grabs. You ask or wonder what the Floss would do with this spot? Well, he would move Joe Thomas to LG. Joe likes the left side of the line and guard is a better spot for him. Then you can judge where to play Pinky and Luke Nix. Personally the Floss would let Luke take his lumps at LT and let him become the stud LT that he is destined to be.
D-LEEZY: The strongest position on the team for sure. The D-Ends are absolute freaks. Romeus(6'6, 270), Sheard (6'4, 260), Hale (6'4, 260), Tucker (6'4, 245). They are all nasty. Probably at least 2 will play on Sundays. The ends will be fun to watch. The interior is pretty solid. The starters will probably be Gus and Mick Will, but the Floss isn't sure about Mick playing the more traditional Nose Guard position. The Floss could see Mick Will starting alongside Myles Caregein. Myles was good this year and will only develop to get better. The 4th DT spot is interesting. Tommie Duhart is one bad grade or missed practice from getting the boot from this team. If he turns his life around, he gets this spot no doubt. Other interior possibilities are really Ty Tkach(probably the favorite), Scott Corson(same situation as Tommie Du), Mike Cruz(still hate him), or a recruit. Not exactly as exciting as the QB or RB battles, but stay tuned!!!!!
OLB'S: Fighting for a spot in the Floss' top 5 favorite Panthers is Greg Williams. He actually was the Rivals.com BE Defensive freshmen of the year. This was his RS FR season fellas. He could be a really really good one. He needs to put on some weight. A lot of the other things will come with time. Joe Tumpkin should be able to develop his Florida boy G Will. Shane Murray will be back from injury to take back his other starting spot. He was real good at the end of the 2007 season especially against WVU. Who would want to meet Shane Murray in a dark alley? No one. The backups are currently Mad Max Gruder, who probably will be moved inside, Nate Nix, and Tristan Roberts. Nix and Roberts are definitely solid backups for outside and the inside is thin, so please Davey: MOVE MAX.
MLB: This position is a damn crapshoot. Right now it is between 5th year SR Steve Dell and Brandon Lindsey. Lindsey was a really highly recruited player. He has NO experience unlike Gruder, but he has upside. Whoever takes over this position will not be half the player Scott McKiller was. McKiller always credited Blades for teaching him. Steve Dell was taught by Blades AND McKiller. He should be the best right? No, he would probably be in my top half of players to go because of recruiting. MEMO TO DAN MASON: The position is THIIIIIN HOMIE.
CB'S: Pitt will start 2 SR's at CB next year. Aaron Berry and JoMoney Chappel will definitely start. No chance Wanny gives one of the young bucks even a chance at the spot. They actually both played decent minus a game or two. Soooooo much hope with some of the young guys though even with Ronald Hobby getting kicked off for forgetting to realize that 2 star CB's don't get preferential academic star treatment. Buddy Jackson, Antuan Reed, and Jarred Holley all have very bright futures. Holley is one of the Floss' 5 non-skill position players to watch next year. SIDENOTE: The other 4 are, Dom DeCicco, Max Gruder, Myles Caregein, and Luke Nix.
S: Probably the most exciting position for WPIAL football fans. Dom DeCicco actually made the most strides of any defensive player minus Greg Williams. He led the team in INT's. He also got much better with his angles and tackling. The Floss still remembers how incredibly AWFUL he played against BG and Buff. Now he is a clear cut starter next year at one of the safety spots. He never lost his celeb status. Eric Thatcher has finally graduated. The Floss was just never feelin' E Thatch. Back to WPIAL players, the other S spot will be decided between two WPIAL boys, Elijah 'Scoot' Fields and Andrew Tags. Scoot would be a 4 to 1 favorite for this position if the Floss believed he would be back. He was out of the doghouse early on last year, but still stayed in the yard, never made it into the real house, and then he ended the season back in the doghouse. Drugs and grades will probably kill this one time WPIAL great. Other possibilities would be to move Jovani Chappel to safety if Wanny believes in one of the young corners. Greg Cross also moved to safety apparently, jesus. Irvan Brown is a 5th year guy who might need to be brought back. The Floss hates 5th years who have never done anything early in their career. It's like plugging a leak with a piece of gum, sure it will hold up for a little, but eventually it will fail, just ask Clark Griswold. Bill Stull=piece of gum.
COACHING: The Floss isn't going to bash the coaches. 9-4 is a step in the right direction. Depending on what happens with Shady and the QB position next year will let me evaluate Wanny fairly. If he gets Shady back and puts Stull in at QB, and Wanny doesn't get to 10+ wins, I will know that Pitt will never get over the hump with him here. I also wouldn't mind seeing Cav go just to bring in a spread guy. The Floss wants a spread offense really bad or something creative. No one should be forced to watch an offense like we did in the Sun Bowl. This is actually something that we all should see coming. Billy and Pat are pro styles, but the other 2 real QB's on our roster are spread guys. Tino and Kolby Gray are both quick, undersized guys, who need to make plays on the run. Pro offenses are gonzo. Spread 'em wide.
RECRUITS: The Floss isn't going to get into a long winded talk about recruiting. I'm just going to talk about some of the guys who might make an impact. The sad thing is, most of these guys aren't even committed. Tyrone Ezell from Munhall might get a chance at an interior DLine spot if he is as good as the Floss believes. Isaac Holmes if he comes here most likely gets a spot in that rotation. Raymond Graham will also get some looks at RB if Shady goes. Dan Mason could come compete immediately at MLB, probably land on the 2 deep. Finally, my favorite recruit left, Josh Evans, S, Irvington HS in New Jersey, Youtube him, would get in on defense. This kid is a man. A freak. He could actually snag a starting spot if Fields is gone. Now we just need to convince him to pick Pitt over Florida and Oklahoma, wish I was kidding.
A JOKE: I saw this joke on a message board, thought I'd pass it along:
"I saw Bill Stull at the O today. He threw his money to the woman behind the counter only his doller went too high and left splashing into the fryers and giving her third degree burns. Coach Cav blamed the wind"
Absolutely beautiful joke.
QUARTERBACK: Well the one position that never fully developed was the quarterback position. Bill Stull never ended up getting it done. The Big problem with this, he will most likely be the starter next year. We burned Pat Bostick's redshirt season albeit legit because of the concussed Billy Stull. All Pat Bostick did again was win.

CAN BAR FLOSS GO 2 FOR 2?
FUCK YEAH HE CAN. That's right, 2 nights in a row, Uncle Pete's let in the Floss. Don't have much time to write, going to drop off toys with Toys for Tots. Some highlights:
**Starting RG John Malecki telling me "I fuckin hate football". He said that it was the biggest snub ever that he didn't make first or second team all Big East. My response, "At least Scott(roomate McKskillet) won defensive player of the year". That didn't make the situation any better.
**Greg Romeus blackout drunk introducing me to hot white girls. I think this one explains itself.
**Mr. Shenanigans being there, talking to him and getting a text from him, "Why didn't you go to Peter's last night?"
**Only spending 14 dollars in 2+ hours. So now the average for 2 nights is like 32.50. Bar Floss will take that any fuckin day of the week.
**ULTIMATE HIGHLIGHT:
The Floss meets a female at a pregame party, who he gets Malecki to sneak in for her. Her name you ask, Brighton. It sounds like (bright-EN). She's says guess what my last name is? It makes sense. The Floss' Vlad induced coma response "Yourdayup", except very slowly. It sounded like she had the longest last name. This girl and her friend were appalled at this response. She was like, no it's "early". So Ms. Brighton Early, fuck you from the Floss, have a merry Christmas.

THE RETURN OF BAR FLOSS
Bar Floss made an appearance last night. Yes, the Floss went to Peters. And since he's done with finals, he didn't hold back. The Floss needs to talk to DROF about his behavior, but pretty sure I was a gem last night at the bar. Some highlights last night:
* Spent in the upper 50's as far as scrilla goes, but shit finals are over.
* Called B Man with the manager. Little did he know that the Floss is 20. Ha.
* Bought DROF a shot of bourbon. Hail bourbon.
* Got a drink bought for me by a Pitt football player(Justin Hargrove)
* Won my bet on the Zags last night
The real highlight came early, pre super drunk Floss. It was country night at Pete's as you most know, so naturally there was a lot of singing along coming from the Floss' mouth. Taylor Swift's beautiful song Love Story came on. The Floss belted some notes, and then a girl noticed. She was an asian girl, but loved the enthusiasm of the Floss' singing style. She joined along. Since the Floss is a man, he naturally loves asians. She was no different, until she started whoring herself out for a drink. She kept trying to *whisper to her friend about not having a drink. You could see the desperation behind those slant eyes. She sucked. The Floss watched her keep attempting to get men to buy her a drink. She eventually won, but not against this guy.
DESHEA TOWNSEND
Since the Floss has been busy with finals and not blogging, he hasn't got to weigh in on the 10-3 Steelers. They rule. No matter if they win ugly, they still win baby. The Floss has been adament about the AFC title going through Pittsburgh in a proverbial sense, but now it might be literal. If the Steelers can win out(projected by all at Floss industries) and Tennesee OVERRATEDS lose at Indy, the conference goes through da Burgh. In light of the best Pitt football season since Larry FitzHeisman played, the Floss still can't stop thinking about winning a Super Bowl.
TEBOW
As you know, the Floss LOVES Timmy T. Today I just want to show you his girlfriend. Dear Lord. The Floss hates swimming, but would go with Lucy Pinder.

QUICK PICKS
This post is allotted around 9 minutes, so enjoy whatever you read. The Floss is pickin' championship Saturday games, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO:
PITT AT UCONN 12 PM
The Floss all week was nervous, but today I've come to grips with it...The Panthers are for real. The Floss doesn't expect a close game, thinking around 34-17 for the Panthers. Bill Stull needs to do something to make me not give him a C in his end of the year report card.
FLORIDA VS. ALABAMA 4:05
TEBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW. Is there a better man crush in all the land than Tim Tebow? Seriously, next week, after finals, the Floss will create a man crush blog. Tebow wins. Lay the points with Florida. He doesn't even need Percy. The Floss seriously LOVES Timmy T. People might not remember, but on the Hoover High TV show on MTV, both of the QB's in the SEC championship game made an appearance. Tebow actually dazzled for Nease High against Hoover in a losing effort. JPW or John Parker Wilson as his mommy calls him was the older brother of the starting QB on Hoover. Interesting.
MIZZOURA VS. OKLAHOMA
Sam Bradford is the most Mexican looking non Mexican ever. Not too mention the Griffin twins have a ridiculous set of parents. It's uncanny. The Floss is rootin on Mizzoura because of Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley at Texas, but OK rolls. OK will fail miserably in the NC game because Stoops and bowl games get along like DickRod and Michigan.
MONEY IN THE BANK LOCK OF THE DAY...
CINCI -7.5 AT HAWAII

2 HELPINGS OF RANT--THANKSGIVING EDITION
Holiday issues coupled with the lackluster computer in the home of the Floss, there will probably be no updates until around next Monday. The Floss says sorry for that. Here are 2 rants courtesy of the Floss, both relating to Turkey Day:
"HAPPY T-GIVING TO U AND UR FAMILY"
What's this you ask? O, u all no, it's a tm wishing u a happy holiday. I hate the mass texts that swirl around on holidays. If you are going to waste time to send a text, personalize the damn thing. The mass text on holidays is like the "hey, we haven't talked in between 6 and 12 months, but just so you know I care enough about you to check the box next to your contact info, take care". Seriously, the mass texts on holidays are sooooooooooo wizzzzeeak. The Floss bets if you all think about it, you can think already about the people who will send you one. However, there are always those people that you definitely didn't expect probably because they are the ones with a send all button. Not too mention, it is almost guaranteed that on one of the MMTH(Major Mass Text Holidays), you will receive a MTM(Mass Text Message) from a number you don't even have. The Floss sees 2 possible solutions to this MTM problem:
1. Prank Mass Texts. Get a list of all the people that you were going to send a TM to on an MMTH and change what you were going to say to something funny like, "balls on your chin". Not only will this confuse people, but they will just know to not MTM you ever again.
2. Change the MMTH around. Stop on the important holidays. The Floss thinks if you really want to wish someone a happy holiday, you might as well personalize the text. Let's just change the MMTH around to some more fun times. Some examples, Cinco de Mayo, MLK Day, any anniversary of a Steelers' Super Bowl, etc. Can you imagine a MTM for MLK Day, "Hey all, just wanted to say Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Sip some juice. Love ya, Floss". Yes We Can.
LIONS AND COWBOYS
Fuck the Lions and Cowboys. There is no reason that they should both be playing every year on Turkey Day. The Lions haven't had a meaningful week 13 game in probably 10 years. Although you could argue the Lions haven't had a meaningful game in 10 years, sans ones where they are playing for draft picks. The Cowboys are America's team, so what? Give everyone else a shot damnit. Another thing, the NFL should not allow the NFL Network to show the primetime game. Seriously, your the most successful sport in terms of popularity and revenue, stop selling your soul every fuckin' year. At least if your going to take the only decent game of the day away from the fans, pay the refs a competitive salary. This year ESPN bit them though by putting no. 2 Texas on TV at the same time. To hell with the NFL Network.
101st EDITION OF THE BACKYARD BRAWL
-No real preview of the game, last game still pisses me off.
-At least we can stop the run.
-This is the last time Pat White will play Pitt, thank god, he was one of my favorite qu'eers to watch.
-Probably Shady's last home game. It's awesome that Pitt's 2 best players in my lifetime were both prep school products. Thanks.
-The game will be a sell out, might actually have an atmosphere.
-FLOSSY PREDICTION:
PITT 24
QUEERS 14
To go back to something from yesterday, Pitt can still win 10 games this year. Do you know the last time Pitt won 10 games, 1981. The Floss wasn't even thought about in 1981. The computer wasn't even real in 1981. Do you know how many times Pitt has won 9 games since 1981, 2 FUCKING TIMES. And one of those times was 1982. In the Floss' tenure on this Earth, 1988 going forward, Pitt has won 9 games once. It was the glorious 2001-2002 season where Larry Fitz torched the Oregon St. Beavs in the Insight Bowl. Get a grip people, this is going to be the most successful year in almost 30 FUCKING years. Stop your bitching.

CINCI HANGOVER
"I'll remember this trip forever, but not because of the football game"--PnR
The trip to Cinci this weekend was very interesting to say the least. As Vinnie Vaughn says in Wedding Crashers, "I don't want to talk about it because it will just make me mad". So let's just focus on the football related thoughts:
-Seriously, I hate the negativity that Pitt fans have as a whole. Seriously, Pitt hasn't won 7 games in 3 years, now we finally do and people bitch. We lost to Bowling Green and Rutgers, both at home, going into the Cincinnati game. The fans acted like Pitt was god-damn-invincible. Fans already writing this season off are god damn insane. Pitt can still win 10 GAMES. Honestly, before the year I would have been elated with 10 wins. Not too mention a 2-1 finish gets us 9 wins, another above average season. I don't know why Pitt fans feel that we are USC and anything less than 10 wins is absurd. The only way the Floss will take this blog straight to negative town is a 0-3 finish. The Floss has had it up to here with these stupid fans. This has been the best year to be a Pitt fan since the Fiesta Bowl season. Be happy for once.
-Cincinnati has about 3,000 real fans. Everyone we met in Cicinnati cared way way more about tOSU than they did about Cinci. They all assumed that we would be rooting for PSU against MSU because they thought we were PSU fans because we were from PA. It was a weird thing. Way less school pride than Pitt which means nothing when they go to the Orange Bowl. Overall, the Floss is still proud to be PITT AND IT. By this I mean, Pitt and that's fucking it. IT. The Floss still likes other teams, but there is no questioning where my fanhood rests.
-The campus of Cincinnati is weird. It has some nicer parts than Pitt, primarily some grass and a football stadium(even though it is a concrete mess with bleachers) that serves beer. Their ghetto is worse than the Hill. It was an interesting town though and had more of a college feel I guess.
-One brightspot this weekend was learning that you can get TRIPLE meat on a Subway hoagie. The Floss watched Mr. Shenanigans order a TRIPLE MEAT TRIPLE CHEESE Chicken Bacon Ranch at a Subway on the way home from Cinci. It had 12 Subway boats of chicken strips, 12 pieces of bacon, 12 triangles of cheese. It was an amazing feat although still a ripoff for 14 dollars.
-New basketball rankings are out and the Panthers somehow jumped UCLA AND Duke. A little shocked the Panthers jumped Duke, but obviously the Floss agrees with the move. Any question which conference will dominate college basketball this year. The Big East has the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th, 15th, 16th, and 22nd ranked teams. By votes they also have the 31st and 33rd ranked teams. Also watch out for the 'Cuse, no. 33, to take out Florida tonight in the CBE classic. The Floss usually thinks 'Cuse is overrated, but not this year. Johnny Flynn, Devendorf, Onuaku, Paul Harris, Andy Rautins, Scoop Jardine, Rick Jackson, and Kristof Ongenaet. These are all players who have played legitimate minutes for the Orange before in their career. They also lost a cancer with Donte Green. I don't know why the Floss felt the need to slurp on the Orange, but just watch out for them.
-The Floss also wants to comment on "Joshua". He is someone who just randomly commented on the Floss' Pitt--Cinci preview. We're moving in the right direction. The Floss knows 0 Joshua's. The fan count has easily topped double digits.
