A Good Start Written on August 31, 2009, by Bob.
If you’re like me, you’ve been waiting for the start of football season in Western Pa. On Saturday, the football season got started in dramatic fashion at N. Kerr Thompson Stadium at Slippery Rock University as the Rock took down Bowie State by a final score of 31-27 on a last minute touchdown. In a [...]
College Football Talk Written on August 25, 2009, by Bob.
This Saturday the college football season in Western Pennsylvania kicks off with Slippery Rock taking on Bowie State, which is the only college football game going on around the area. Grove City and Westminster will begin their college football season the following weekends. College football in Western PA and around the country is one of [...]
A Fun Weekend For The MLB Written on August 24, 2009, by Bob.
I guess he wasn’t as washed up as everyone said he was. The performance put on by John Smoltz shows that even though he might by 42 and “passed his prime,” the guy can still go out and pitch. He strikes out nine batters in five innings and gets the win in his debut with [...]
A variety of ramblings by Bob Cupp Written on August 18, 2009, by Bob.
The Pirates return home following an awful roadtrip. (I can say that because I saw two of the games in person, in Colorado and Chicago.) Not that those games were bad–but they WERE bookended by disasters. The friendly confines of PNC Park, from which echo the occasional sounds of encouragement, entertain the usual 12,000 fans who [...]
Things That Make You Go …. AAAHHHH Written on August 14, 2009, by Bob.
Well, it’s official, Michael Vick is back in the NFL as part of the Philadelphia Eagles. (I still think it would have been awesome if he was picked up by the Browns, whose fan base is referred to as the “dog pound”). Why they let this man back in the NFL is a mystery to [...]
So It Begins Written on August 13, 2009, by Bob.
Even though the pre-season isn’t about winning as much as it is about just watching the rookies and the “old” players get a chance to prove themselves, it still means that football season has finally arrived. For Steelers fans, this is good news since Pittsburghers haven’t had a reason to cheer for a sports team [...]
Quit Hitting Me!! Written on August 12, 2009, by Bob.
Last night, Kevin Youkilis of the Boston Red Sox stormed the mound after being hit by a pitch from a Detroit Tigers pitcher. It was obviously intentional and I am behind Youkilis 100% in his actions. Youkilis was hit in the back after the Tigers pitcher tried to hit the batter before him and missed. [...]
The Real American Team! Written on August 12, 2009, by Bob.
I thought as football season was getting ready to start, I would share this with all you Dallas Cowboy fans who think that you are still “America’s team” … It comes down to this … We have six trophies, and you don’t!! We are America’s team. A blue collar, hard working team who doesn’t whine [...]
Back At Home Written on August 11, 2009, by Bob.
I have been quiet about this topic since it was reported that former MLB All-Star Matt Clement would be the next head basketball coach at Butler High School. Not only did this move bring in a high profile name to the Butler basketball program and provide them with great publicity, it also brought in a [...]
Hear The Tiger Roar! Written on August 10, 2009, by Bob.
Is there a better athlete in my generation (the generation x’ers) than this man Tiger Woods. You could say Lebron James, maybe Roger Federer or even Michael Phelps. You can make a legit case for each athlete. But lets look at them from a fans standpoint shall we … follow me on our journey!! First [...]
