It was the first sellout game at The Garden that I was in attendance for all year, and the game lives up to all the hype.  Two top 10 college team facing off in the world's greatest arena.  It appearing that Pitt lost all hope of keeping the game close in the first half, but they came out ready to play in the second half and forced the game into overtime.  DeJuan Blair is a beast of a freshman, putting up 15 points and 20 boards.  However, Pitt would not have won the game if it were not for Lavance Fields, who hit the game winning 3 with seconds left in the game.  Another shot that brought the crowd to their feet was DeMarcus Nelson's reverse lay-up, after getting hit by Blair.  This game was filled with emotion and Duke fans had to leave the stadium sobbing and with their first loss of the season.  Definitely the best game I have seen all year and the best time I have had.  For entertainment purposes look how stupid Tony Kornheiser looks now.

Steely McBeam

Steelers fans can welcome their newest acquisition Steely McBeam.  He is not a first round draft pick, but the new official team mascot.  After more than 70,000 fan entries Steely McBeam was the winner.  Their last mascot was Stevie Steeler.  Honestly, the organization should have considered another 70,000 names because Steely McBeam just does not cut it for Pittsburgh.  How many Irish people actually live in Pittsburgh to warrant the name McBeam.  Steely's jaw is a giant replica of their former coach Bill Cowher. I think they should have just reused the name Stevie Steeler.  Steelers fan enjoy your new mascot.
