You can't be serious!

Open your eyes!

It's all over!

Also, it's "they're", not "their".

If it wasn't for the Hawkeyes, the steAlers would still be wearing their, there, they're, bumblebee looking uniforms.  Don't try to change history SteAlerfan.





  

Quote:In 1979, Hayden Fry helped to create the Tiger Hawk, the logo seen on Iowa's football helmets.[15] Since both teams shared the colors of black and yellow gold, Fry sought and gained permission from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the dominant National Football League (NFL) team of the 1970s, to overhaul Iowa’s uniforms in the Steelers’ image. Fry's idea was that if the team were going to act like winners, they first needed to dress like winners. Fry had originally asked Steelers defensive tackle "Mean" Joe Greene for a replica helmet and home jersey; Greene was able to send Fry to one of the team owners, and three days later, the owners sent Fry reproduction copies of the home and away uniform of Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw, making Iowa one of only a few schools to use the uniform scheme of an NFL team; others include the Blue Devils of Duke University whose football uniforms resemble those of the Indianapolis Colts. Although the uniforms appear substantially the same, there are subtle differences, mainly in the font of the numerals, the scheme of the white away jerseys, and the width of the jersey stripe, while the Steelers jerseys have the player names in yellow and the Hawkeyes use black or white.

At least Dupree played in every single game last year including starting 5 of the last 6. Ogbuehi starts = 0

Yeah........  me either.

We grabbed the corner they wanted right before them because that's how we do, so they reached and got a guy with a fourth-round grade.

Smart thinking, guys  

Yahoo rates it as a D+.

ProFootballFocus gave them a D.

BleacherReport was nicer and gave them a B, but that was a sympathy grade because of Burns' family problems.

SBNation gave them a C, while noting that the Steelers had the 30th ranked pass D and that Burns doesn't fit the Steelers' zone scheme.  They also note that they had him ranked in the 50s.

Steelers continue their free-fall and pretty soon all of you will only be able to talk about remembering past glory.............  but that's all you really do now anyways, so rock on

Dupree just reminds me of when we took Reinard Wilson.  More of a panic pick vs best player.   Steelers didn't used to do that stuff.   I wonder if tomlin's inexperience with Lebeau's defense led to these decisions.(Dupree and Jones)   Which maybe why Ike taylor swears Tomlin is going to a 4-3.
