The Hour Is Almost Upon Us...

It's election eve
And all through DC
Fans are abuzz with excitement
Steelers fans with glee

The 'Skins are hot
And Clinton Portis is strong
But with Casey Hampton around
How could we go wrong

So Jason Campbell beware
We know that you're good
But no man is safe
In the eyes of The Wood
Here we go Steelers!

And if you need something to kill the time, I suggest the [Unnamed] Steelers Pregame Show - Episode 8. I'm just going to go fail an exam now...See you kids at 8:15.

Predictions?

Viva "The Wood"...

It's now 7:00, which marks approximately the 10th hour of anxiousness for me. I think I'm ready now. Let's do this damn thing already!

Tobiathan will be along shortly (7:30 or so) to give you some liveblog love. Be sure to check him out, as we try a real liveblog - right in an actual post (as opposed to the comments).

And may "The Wood" sack Derek Anderson no less than four times!


HERE WE GO STEELERS!!!

Speak Softly and Carry Lamarr Woodley...

A couple of days ago, I mentioned Lamarr Woodley needed a nickname. Well, as it turns out, he's already got one - "The Wood."

But that doesn't mean we can't kick around some alternatives. And that's just what you guys did in the comments on Monday.

So here's a list of the suggestions put forth to date. Peruse them at your will and tell us all which ones strike your collective fancy the most, in the comments. Alternate suggestions are, of course, also welcome.

Here we go...

1. Big Wood
2. Woodchuck
3. Lamarr "Hoodlum" Woodley
4. LW (or "L-Dub")
5. The Woodshed
6. The Beastly Boy
7. Lamarr "God of War" Woodley

And I'd just like to add a little tagline I've been toying with for ol #56 (in addition to the title of this post, that is)...

"Over the Three Rivers and through "The Wood," and home with Derek Anderson's head on a stick we'll go."

Ok, that was just for the Browns. But hey, they're now on notice. Be afraid, Derek Anderson. Be very afraid.

What say you, Steelers nation?
