Im from Pittsburh and i say they should get a new arena but with no slots. Football in Pittsburgh over-shadows all sports. As soon as the Steelers said "if we dont get a new stadium" (after the Pirates did,) where leaving Pittsburgh and befor anybody new it the Steelers got there way. Now when the Penguins says where going to leave Pittsburgh they dont get CRAP!!!!\nBut slots + sports is bad...brings more gambelers in then Penguins. People ill start comming in to bet, and not go to games.

I think they are a great team.  I was sad to see Randel El leave to free agency.  I hope they make that up by drafting powerful running back LenDale White from USC.  He would fit perfectly with the Steelers running game.\n\n\nP  I  T  T  S  B  U  R  G  H ***S  T  E  E  L  E  R  S\n\n+++++++C   H   A   M   P   I   O   N   S+++++++

I have heard of it, but since I'm not in the sports field, I can't say for sure how well respected it is in the industry.  However, if you're looking for a career outside of that industry, or might venture out in the future, I think a narrowly focused school like that might hinder you.  I'm not sure how seriously a degree from a place like that would be taken at General Motors, or your neighborhood bank, for example. Regardless of how good or bad it is as a school, people outside the industry will imagine it to be "just a sports school", and not take it very seriously.  It really depends on what kind of employer you're asking about.

Yes, I like the Buckeyes.  They are a strong team with great potential.

Pittsburgh!!! It has four definite seaons of weather! A small town feel with some of the best schools in the country. It is the 4th most visited city in the country for art reasons. \n\nKennywood amusement park is a great summer destination spot for kids of all ages. In the winter you can spend your time indoors at the Carnegie museum of natural history (home to the largest collection of dinosaur bones in the world). The Pittsburgh Children's Museum or the Carnegie Science Center (250 hands on exhibits as well as the UPMC Sports works that teaches kids about physics through fun sports activities) The Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG aquarium are open year round and are just outside of downtown as well!\n\nThere are 3 pro sports teams and several minor league teams so there is always a sporting event to attend. \n\nLittle to no crime in the metropolitan area, minimal traffic, quiet suburbs, and a bustling downtown. What more could anyone ask for?

Rutgers is a very good football team. If they finish undefeated meaning they beat WVU in Morgantown, they are a definite BCS bowl team.  They will likely be penalized for playing in a weak league.  I know the football "experts" have lately been getting on the "Big East Bandwagon" with both WVU and UofL being ranked as high as no. 3.  The problem with either of those teams and Rutgers also being ranked no.3 is their strength of schedule just doesn't come close to that of Big 10,SEC, Pac 10, or Big 12 schools.  I like the way Rutgers plays and I like their coach very much.  I'd be very surprised if he doesn't get an offer he can't refuse from Miami or another big school at the end of the year.  I hope Rutgers wins out and gets to a BCS bowl and wins there.  I do think they are the best of an otherwise overrated league.  I think if Rutgers wins out, they should be no better than no. 6, depending of course on how the teams above them do in the last few games of the year.  A very nice team though,very nice.

Yes, it's a top school. One of the best in the country, especially for engineering (ironically, it's also highly regarded for its drama program).\n\nWhat prompts you to ask that?

It's not a bad school.  Probably about average.  In Texas it's well behind A&M, UT, TCU, SMU, Rice...\n\nNot far behind things like Baylor, Texas Tech and probably about on par with UNT, Texas State, and the other UT campuses in Texas like Arlington, Dallas, San Antonio, etc.\n\nA degree from SFA isn't going to have anyone quaking in their boots, but it's a real degree and a respectable university.

They have a hard time recruiting in their own backyard is their first problem.  Penn State, Pitt, even Rutgers beats them in their backyard for recruiting.  They need to recruit better in all honestly, if they could do that they could begin to build a program.

I'm not as familiar with Canadian universities as I am with those in the US and Europe, so I'm sorry. But from what little I do know, both are considered good schools. U Toronto has a bigger "name", to my knowledge, but Microsoft recruits out of U Waterloo.

I actually considered going to Pitt. I live out of state so it was pricey. I like the school, LOVE the area, there is a lot to do. I still go to Oakland on occasion.

US News & World Reports ranks it in with National Universities.  They have them in their third tier.  There are only four tiers.  This means that it is a decent school and selective, but not one of the great universities.  It would be comparable to a state school that is not the best state school.  In other words, it is not as good as UNC-Chapel Hill, but is as good as UNC-Greensboro.  It isn't as good as the University of Illinois, but is as good asw Illinois State, etc.\n\nGood college -- yes.  Really good college -- No.

Stop it!  Stop it!  You're killing me!  Our Stillers?  Make the playoffs?  HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!  At this point of the season, they couldn't beat the Mt. Lebanon Blue Devils (local high school team).  There aren't enough Terrible Towels in the world to wave them to within mailing distance of the playoffs.  The mere concept of them being even on the fringe of the playoff picture makes it necessary for me to wrap duct tape around my head, just to keep my skull from exploding.  Right now, every team left on Pittsburgh's schedule has circled that game and stuck it in the W column already.  Seriously, though, the Steelers aren't a horrible team.  They are still a good team that is playing horrible football.  They'll be back...just not this year.
