Question for you 50 years plus folk (and others)?

Sure. I've only got 20-25 good years left anyways and I've gone 26(?) years without one. I just want us to get at least one ring before I or my brain checks out. 

That said...I don't think Tepper will be that guy and I don't think that Tepper will be the owner at that point either. He's no spring chicken.

The "brain checks out" thing is real for some. I think about how I'm only six to seven years out from the age that my late father's early onset dimentia resulting from Alzheimer's became obvious. By 61, he couldn't even appreciate a football game anymore, and he was the main reason I developed a love for the game in the first place.

Yep. There's no guarantee that I've even got that long. I just want to see it at some point.

 50+ years has taught me that the one thing steeler fans, Green Bay fans, patriot fans and other Super Bowl winning franchises, especially Tampa, have in common is that their teams all sucked balls at one time. Sometimes for years or decades.  Those fans didn’t make plays or roster decisions.  They didn’t have a damn thing to do with either success or failure.  But they did the one thing they could, they stayed fans.  Watching our fans stay in the rain as we got clobbered at the end of our 1-15 season was “almost” as cool as marching to Jax stadium on opening day with the Roaring Riot and hundreds of other memories.  Winning is sweet, but making memories is sweeter. Keep Pounding.

    • If I could pie more, I would. Fantastic 
    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
    • I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
