Sarah's Thoughts
GO TITANS! (Psst … Actually, go Steelers!)
Before Catherine was born, Nathan and I agreed upon a fair division of sports allegiances that we would try to impart upon our daughter. Nathan gets the Tennessee Titans and the Atlanta Braves. I get the Maryland Terrapins for both basketball and football (sorry, Catherine … it’s not looking so good these days). We share the Nashville Predators and Sounds.
I have tried to play along, even purchasing a generic Titans jersey for my daughter (as seen in this photo taken several months ago).
I want the Titans to make the playoffs, as this will make my husband happy. However, in the unlikely event that both the Steelers and Titans proceed far enough into the playoffs to face each other, I may have to sneak a Steelers t-shirt under Catherine’s jersey. That way, when the Steelers roll over the Titans with a convincing victory, Catherine can reveal the black and gold with pride. The girl needs something since my pathetic Terps are 6-6 so far this season, including two losses at home against non-ACC opponents. Maybe our baseball team is good this year …

The Turdles and the Chokies down in BBall in the same year? It sure is looking like a Hoo Christmas.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Titans have only “scored” one victory over a team that currently has a winning record (Jags). The Titans may - and it’s a mighty big “may” - make the playoffs, but they are in NO way a playoff-worthy team.
That said, I’ve been a Steelers fan since I was 6-years-old. I’ve lived my entire life in the city of Nashville, and I will ALWAYS be a Steelers fan. When I was five, my dad’s brother’s daughter married a feller who not only hailed from Pittsburgh, he was a scout for the Steelers as well. He worked for the Steelers from 1980-92, and I receieved 2-3 Steelers-related gifts each Christmas during that time (my favorite was/is a Terry Bradshaw-autographed football).
Steelers rule, Titans drool … that’s what I say.

First of all, the daughter is cute.
Second of all, as a Ky BB fan, I share your pain and offer my deepest sympathies.
