I like to consider Pittsburgh a “big city” when it comes to sports. We have professional teams in 3 of the big 4 sports (Please stay away NBA) and multiple nationally recognized sports programs amongst our universities.

Apparently the Steelers won last night. I wouldn’t know. Half way through the 2nd quarter my power went *poof* was was gone. Myself and 140,000 other people around the area lost power as the winds from Hurricane Ike beat down on PA. Lushie and I were actually fine with this as we pulled out a [...]
