I'm really happy to see Donnie Shell and L.C. Greenwood in that list.

I'd put Lloyd on that list before Greene although they both deserve a spot.

Nice....for openers.

Before anyone starts asking about Hines and Troy it appears the criteria is you must be retired for at least 10 years.

Before anyone starts bitching about stuff, like the douche on the Fan.
1. All Steelers HOFers were automatically put in.
2. Players have to have played here at least 3 seasons.
3. Players have to be retired at least 3 seasons.

So I think the actual first class is LC, Shell, and Hoak. A nice big middle finger to the HOF

The screwed this up, they needed to have Duce's grey sweatsuit on the bench of honor.

Nothing personal against Kevin Greene, but how many seasons was he a Steeler? Can you really argue that he belongs before Hines or Troy?

Not really.

Bert Bell was only HOFer not on the list.

Bill Nunn should've been in this group. Pretty sure he gets in next year.

His omission hasn't gone unnoticed:

Dick Hoak was a good friend of my Dad's. Good for him.

He played three seasons for them
He is my top three fave Steelers of all time,he meets the criteria but can't have him there without Lloyd

Walt Kiesling? Why?!? He's about as deserving as Kent Nix.
