I sort of said that to myself after Sunday's loss. It's true. There is a lot to be thankful and appreciative of this year in comparrison to last.
Sometimes, that can be very annoying though, even if its not intended to be. My Grandfather says it, every year after losing year. When I say that I'm 31 and never been to a parade, he does the old guy math and starts protesting about the '80 Phillies or the '83 Sixers. Yea... Pop, I was 3 and 6 years old, respectively. Don't remember a whole lot about those years...
So yea, on one hand I'm always thanking them for how far they've come, but on the other cursing them for just how short they fell.
Pitt fans should appreciate the parades and parties they've got to enjoy. I would have loved a cup at 14 and 15 years old, and a superbowl championship at 29. Savor those things as they are not a given. Jealous would be an understatement.
Oh well, it happened in 2000, it can happen again... Flyer's come from a 2-0 series deficit and beat the Pens in 6!!!
