I am not sure if anyone is noticing how well Pittsburgh teams are doing these days. Well excluding the Pirates. If the Pirates start winning all three professional teams and the University of Pittsburgh teams will be legit. If the Panthers can win three more games another victory parade will be held in downtown Pittsburgh for the second time in 3 months. Throw in the Pen's and the soon to be playoff run and you are talking about some serious championship talk.

Now we all know how bad the Pirates are. They are my favorite team and I follow them everyday but it is very hard to understand how a town that supports its teams like they do is being deprived of a winner. If the team gets it act together one of these years the town will get right behind the Pirates and get to view the beauty that is PNC Park.

Now with the win last night the Panthers are quickly becoming one of the new powerhouses in College Basketball. Ever since Ben Howland took over the program and then handed it over to Jamie Dixon the team has been on the fast track. I have not been to a game but the Zoo looks like an amazing place to watch a college basketball game.  I think that most observers would say that it is hard to deny what the team has done over the last 7 years and have earned the term powerhouse to be applied to them.  The only thing that is lacking is a National Championship, which this year looks like a distinct possibly. Just like most Pittsburgh teams they play with grit, pride, understand that they represent a city of blue collar fans.

Now onto the Pen's which have two of the top young players in Hockey, a new Arena on the way and a growing fan base that has turned the Pen's again into the face of Hockey Pittsburgh fans have a lot to cheer for. If the NBA was smart they would stop putting teams in places like Oklahoma City and put a team in Pittsburgh because the city gets behind their teams they no other place in the country. No offense to NYC and Boston but Pittsburgh just has a loyalty that is unmatched.

So all of us Pittsburgh fans are going to holding our breath for three more games and then some good old celebrating will be had. No I did not go to Pitt, but there is a loyalty that comes from being from Pittsburgh that you are born into. Icing on the cake would be the Pen's throwing in Lord Stanley's Cup, but I think that may be a lot to ask for. The Pirates winning the World Series is like asking for the second coming of Christ. If they get even close I will be at every game and will celebrate like nothing you have ever seen. Most people will not know what the heck I am celebrating unless you read the PBC Blog daily and follow every move of Dejan Kovacevic.

Pittsburgh loves to win and I have a feeling a little more winning is going to had in the next week and a half.
