Pretty darn excited right now to see the Steelers come out and play the Ravens extremely hard and come out on top. But even more excited that our student-athletes return to campus tomorrow to restart our drive towards boat speed in the spring.I thought the Steelers played within themselves and didn't execute cleanly in all aspects of the game...(Limas Sweed's drop, Mitch Berger's shanked punt, silly penalties). I thought that the Steelers showed a lot of confidence in their defense and that allowed the offense to play well within themselves and not be forced to take risks against a pretty damn impressive Ravens defense.
How do you measure momentum in sports? Is there any way to harness that and make it work to your favor even when you're down?
So my prediction was a little off...Steelers 23 - Ravens 14 setting up a Super Bowl matchup in Tampa with the Arizona Cardinals. It's not a great matchup on paper and the only really interesting aspect of it is probably that Ken Whisenhunt and Russ Grimm (both former Steelers coaches under Bill Cowher) were both leading candidates for the Steelers head coaching position won by Mike Tomlin.
Here's a quick prayer to Willis McGahee and his family - he was taken off the field on a stretcher after an open-field hit.
