I have a buddy who is like most Steeler fans, they will paint their face, start drinking at 7:00am and yell and make noise during the game, but couldn't tell you other than the marquee names, who is on the team, who they play next, etc. etc.
That is why Steeler fans are idiots when the team sucks. They just blame the coach or the QB and know nothing else.
Pitt and Pens fans are a smaller group, but much more diehard and knowledgable. You will still get the idiots who want the Pens to move because they had a bad season, or Pitt fans who still want to fire Wanny even after a 6-2 start because of a 5-6 season last year in his first year.
Now, Pirate fans have to quit going to games because the Nuttings have no intention to dump money into the team and make them a contender. 14 years is way tooo long, but people still go to stuff the pockets of the Nuttings.
YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH MY FRIEND
