BTSC By The Numbers 2013 Edition

Charles LeClaire-US PRESSWIRE

Smell the grass. See the sweat. July has morphed into August and the Steelers are at Latrobe training for what will hopefully be another in a long line of Championship seasons.

Here at BTSC, more and more regulars are joining their brethren who have kept this blog well stocked with stories, opinions and threads during the off season. Starting on Saturday the first preseason games begin.

Those that seek to be active participants on Behind The Steel Curtain commenting on the Pittsburgh Steelers 2013 season are cracking their knuckles and nervously awaiting the coming season.

As most of you know I am known as 5020 or any number of variations on 50 (50, Fifty, Fiddy etc) I usually will respond to a comment or post by nicknaming the recipient with a numbered nickname. 5020 is ready to hand out the annual numbers for the pending preseason. If I forgot you forgive me as I grow older. (50 is 50!) At BTSC you have to chime in for a number. Maybe you earned one last year and would like to keep it? Chime in and contribute…And to earn that number, you have to bring it. Every week. As Jim Rome says “Have a take and don’t suck” or something like that. So “here we go” BTSC community and “Here We Go Steelers!”…All numbers Steelers home jersey unless otherwise noted.
