Okay, folks, it's time for the BTSC nation to band together.

PrintJohnny_S, whose posts are filled with the sort of statistics, charts, and other nerdly stuff that make my heart beat faster, made a prediction in one of his recent six-packs. That prediction was that there was no way that the Steelers would draft a running back in the first round. He, perhaps unwisely, choose to back up this assertion with the promise that if they did so, he would eat a Terrible Towel.
I think that the vast majority of us would have agreed with the sentiment at that time, although we might not have approved the ante. Well, given the seismic nature of the recent upheavals in Steeler Nation, I'm thinking that we need to look carefully at the possible consequences here. While I still don't think that the FO is going to draft an RB in Round 1, it's a heck of a lot more likely than it was a few days ago. Thank goodness Johnny wasn't betting against a QB. At any rate, as I pondered the possibility that he might have to actually carry through on this, my first thought was that we should insist that he make a video and post it. But on further thought, I decided that, much as I would like to see that, imagine the bad karma that would possibly be unleashed. If the Titans could call down all that bad karma just by stomping on the towel, think what would be the results of one traveling through someone's digestive tract.
It is, of course, possible that the fact that Johnny is a Steeler faithful might cancel out the curse. But I'm not sure that we can bank on that. I think that we, the BTSC nation, need to jointly release Johnny from his vow. I don't think we can afford to wait until the draft, either. There are enough distractions and worries inherent in the upcoming season without taking a risk of this magnitude. So I am posting a poll, and you all can vote on Johnny's fate. Just remember, you are potentially voting on the fate of the Steelers as well. Because of that, no votes from fans of other teams will be considered. Here it is:

Oh dear
It’s now gone public. I won’t vote, but have mercy on my Willie Colon.
Another bet I made is that I will buy every BTSC member (who attends the BTSC first annual tailgate) a six pack of beer if we draft McClain in the first round. I should stop while I am ahead…or far behind.

If we draft Earl Thomas I will drink an entire bottle of Vodka and create a live thread to talk about how awesome he is.
Also if you have to eat a towel I will donate 10$ to the school the towel supports, no way Myron curses us if it’s a fund raiser.
That was my thought
Eat the towel, but donate to that school like 50$. Can’t curse us then.

I'm in for $20 to Allegheny Valley School
If Johnny eats the towel.
$50 if he posts a video.
More if I feel really guilty for enjoying it too much…:-))

I am the keeper of the calendar
There is no way in H E double hockey sticks, I let Johnny Stats completely off the hook. However, since I do believe eating a terry cloth towel would in fact cause a horrific medical condition, I would be willing to replace the wager with some thing else. If all are in agreement, I propose we dedicate the remainder of this poast to an open thread of alternate suggestions.
I will add this disclaimer, however: The Steelers will not draft a RB in the first round of the 2010 NFL Draft.

An alternative?
I think I would rather watch a fan from another team eat a terrible towel but I would suggest the following:
1. Eat at towel from another team – preferrably from the AFC north
2. Make a matching donation to the Allegany Valley school from donations from BTSC members
I don’t think that you should fool with the power of the terrible towel.
5 words you may never hear.."Bungals win the Super Bowl"
I voted YES
but I don’t want you, Johnny_S, to eat a Terrible Towel, and I don’t want you to renege on your wager. The Steelers will not draft a RB in rounds 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7, and certainly not 1. We will get Parker back most likely. We have Mendenhall, Moore, Vincent, Redman, and Summers. The fact that they have kept the latter fellows leads me to believe there is something of interest we are not fully aware of. Somebody of that crop will be the #2, and #3 behind Mendenhall.

Here's an idea -
1. Steelers draft a RB in Round 1
2. Date and time announced for the Ceremonial Consumption at the Allegheny School
3. Tickets to the event at $20/pop
4. Johnny_S shows up and cuts the TT into bite-sized pieces
5. All present consume one, accompanied by your beverage of choice
6. All proceeds go to the school, of course
7. Because we have fulfilled the intent of Myron Cope, no opprobrium attaches itself to the destruction of the TT, thus no Revenge of the TT
8. Arrange for prior coverage by appropriate media, to get wide circulation, and we get plowed in the process!
My heros have always been Steelers...
my yes vote
makes it 49- 48 to let you off the hook. it probably wont matter because we arent taking a RB.
But just in case you might want them to finalize the vote, Johnny :)
Was there any mention of the Terrible Towel being cloth?
Seems like a donation to the Allegheny Valley school, and a specially ordered cake from a local Baltimore distant bakery, should cover the bet.
To try and fail may be unacceptable, but failing to try, is accepting failure.
A cake with gold icing, with “Terrible Towel” written in chocolate icing works for me.

It should taste bad though...
Otherwise Johnny won’t learn nothin.

What do I learn?
Just that towels are not edible.
With the 18th pick of the 2010 NFL Draft the Pittsburgh Steelers select Florida QB Tim Tebow. (not a RB!)

Wow, still a deadlock

Still say
that Johnny S only be made to eat a corner piece of his towel, and that we all make our contributions to Allegheny Valley School regardless.
