Come and join this merry band of Steelers’ faithful for some lively debate about our Steelers, good food, music, and the merits of the odd cold beverage.

Pre-recorded from Delaware, it’s Saturday Night! I, NAS204PSU, am not here, but sending out this Saturday Night Open Thread (aka SNOT).

This weekend I’m out of town for my 15th wedding anniversary. I’m as surprised as anyone that any woman could stand me for that long, let alone someone as intelligent and beautiful as my wife. Side note: the flower girl from our wedding just got engaged… feeling old…

Tonight, Wisconsin will be badgering my alma mater PSU. I’d be lion if I said Wisconsin has a chance, blue and white all the way, baby!

This 6 pack of questions is here to get the conversation going is below, also let us know what you’re eating/drinking!

  1. Danny Smith and the Special teams unit were outstanding: blocking kicks, solid returns, etc. What was the most memorable stat/play from Sunday:
    -Boz 3-for3
    -Waitman punts 3 of 4 inside 20
    -Blocked PAT called back for bogus leverage call. (Danny Smith livid)
    -Blocked FG with Danny Smith swarmed by players
    -412 sticks of gum chewed by Smith during the game

2. The Giants are up next on Monday night, and Malik Nabers is already making an impact for the G-men. Meanwhile, George Pickens has shown flashes of greatness sprinkled with questionable effort/attitude plays for the black and gold. Between Nabers/Pickens, who gets more yards on Monday ? Does either get a TD?

3. The NFL trade deadline is coming up fast and high profile players are being traded. If you had to trade TJ Watt 1-for1 for another active NFL player, who you getting in return for #90?

4. Mike Tomlin was widely criticized for going with DangeRuss vs Jets leading up to Sunday, but one game in it seems like it might work out. Have you ever made a decision and had everyone tell you it was a bad idea only for it to be amazing like you expected? What was it?

5. Obligatory Halloween themed question: Do you have a favorite campfire scary story/urban legend ? Share it!

6. One last Danny Smith question: what’s your favorite gum?
