Hour and half to go!!!

HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!!

I am PUMPED!!

cloppbeast · 09-19-2010, 10:33 AM

Who do ya'll think will win? I think the Titans will win a close game, but this one really could go either way in my opinion.

SCMom · 09-19-2010, 10:43 AM

I can't even venture to guess who will win. The Steelers have had a hard enough time beating them with Ben, so today is just going to be that much more difficult.

I know every man has come to play with a chip on his shoulder though, and they are ready to kick some ass!

Gonna be a good one for sure!

theplatypus · 09-19-2010, 11:27 AM

32 minutes!!!!

Hopefully one of these streams will last, otherwise I'm going to be sprinting up the street to the nearest bar.

I'll stick to the play by play thread given by you guys who can actually watch the game.

You can listen to the game online as well here! http://www.steelers.com/video-and-audio/radio-show.html

You don't want to rely solely on us for the play by play.

***Atlanta Dan*** · 09-19-2010, 11:53 AM

Antonio Brown will dress and return kickoffs - my bet is Tomlin sticks with Randle El to return punts in a road game

Keenan Lewis also suits up but only because Worlds, who had a great showing on special, teams last week, is hurt (again

)

Ed.B. of the P-G said it is brutally hot in Nashville - something to consider with the Steelers wearing their black jerseys today

SCMom · 09-19-2010, 12:02 PM

Ready for kickoff!!!

HERE WE GO!!!
