Long time reader of the forum, never posted. Probably will rarely post if at all still, I'm not one to get invovled with all the drama that unfolds on these message boards. I figured i would make an account finally just in case there was something that i felt like i could respond to or say without starting WW3. Been a fan since 8. i go to the games on the east coast when the time allows it. I make it to Cleveland every year since thats only 2 hours away. So many memories over the years, and being in Pittsburgh i only know one other jazz fan in the area and i met him at SRU. So there is at least 2 of us here in western PA. Big win tonight! Sorry for the rambling just wanted to do a small write up on myself. Im sure no one wants to hear me blabber anymore so i will end this now.

Happy to have ya! Being born, raised and currently living in Chicago I can relate to not having any other friends who were Jazz fans in my every day life. Definitely a big win tonight, and if there's one thing that's permissible here (in my book, at least) is rambling and blabber. So have at it. Plenty to be excited about and to talk about with this team!

Go Jazz!
 
I have a buddy also from college who is a huge bulls fan we always go back and forth, always wanted to take a trip with him to chicago for a game. thanks for the kind words sir!
 
Just teasing ya. I love Pittsburgh. Great town. I just won't allow my loved ones around Big Ben.
 
Welcome! Pittsburgh is one of the best kept secrets in USA. Very nice city, wonderful area of the country, reasonable cost of living, great sports teams. It's come a long way from the rust belt steel dependent economy days.

Though I should say that I've hated the Steelers since my youth and consider Big Ben the poster boy of prima dona athletes with entitlement complexes. But I love the Penguins and am rooting for the Pirates to regain their lost glory. (What has happened to once proud baseball franchises like Pittsburg, Kansas City, and Oakland is really a shame.)

Thanks for the kind words, you're absolutely correct about Pittsburgh. We have been voted the #1 most livable city a few times and the cost of living is outstanding compared to what people in other states and cities have to pay. People like you said will just assume Pittsburgh is the same as in the past but when they get here they are shocked and how beautiful it is here. As far as the Steelers and Ben.. I guess you cant agree on everything LOL
