Think Tank

Sports Illustrated's Peter King picks the Pittsburgh Steelers to beat the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl next February. I can substantiate Peter King's selection but the Steelers have to really establish a running game this season in order to accomplish that goal. The Steelers are very capable of doing that even with the loss of OT Willie Colon........Local football buffs need to check out Division 2 power California U. of PA(nickname CalU). Under the tutelage of veteran Coach John Luckhardt, California has enough talent, chemistry, and experience to position themselves to get to the Division 2 championship. CalU has a pre-season ranking of #5 in the nation and they have a premier Quarterback in 6'4" senior Josh Portis and an abundance of receivers for Portis to throw to. Division 2 football does not get the recognition in this area it deserves, but if you want to see some good football, check some of these local Division 2 programs out........The Steelers along with many other NFL teams have a lot of difficult cuts to make this Saturday going from 75 to 53. The colleges are really producing some good players and some players are getting cut that should be in the NFL. Maybe an expansion to 34 teams is on the horizon........High school football starts this Friday and there are 4 outstanding games this Saturday at the Woodland Hills Stadium in Turtle Creek beginning with McKeesport taking on Ohio power, the Steubenville Big Red, in the late morning.
