Nice Corinthian style helmet, wrong team! LOL
The Third Haas Thanksgiving Football weekend got underway on a Friday with the annual Pitt-West Virginia Backyard Brawl. Pitt went to Huntington, WVA and for once, no one was wearing some bright yellow monstrosity "alternate" uniforms nor was Nike allowed to fool around with "futuristic" helmet designs. Pitt and West Virginia wore what they were supposed to. Unfortunately, the Mountaineers won 21-20...
The Football Weekend stayed in the state of West Virginia as East Carolina tangled with Marshall. That Saturday battle went into overtime and the Thundering Herd galloped to a 34-27 overtime win.
The Las Vegas Locos are done for the year, and perhaps for all time, and the Saskatchewan Roughriders, finishing 5-13, never stood a chance of getting to the Grey Cup. British Columbia's Lions clashed with Winnipeg's Blue Bombers in Vancouver (gee, wonder who the home team was....LOL) and the aforementioned home team won like I predicted by a pretty wide margin, 34-23.
That left my Steelers again on a Sunday night. They went into Kansas City against a weak Chiefs team that fought like there was no tomorrow! The Steelers picked off a last desperation pass heaved by Pitt alumni Tyler Palko and hung on for a 13-9 win.
This year's Thanksgiving Football Weekend ended in a 2-2 draw but Michelle's cats were the winners, stealing ham off my plate while I watched the final nerve racking drive.
What have we learned? Ham is just as good as turkey and cats will not be thwarted...
