Bout damn time.....closing the gap on the Pack for 2nd place with most HOF's

 

[Steelerz99]

Dude has been worthy for decades, but it's obvious the powers that became sick of voting in members of that defense.

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Hell yeah!¡!!!!

 

[steelhurt]

About ******* time! All this bs about too many Steelers was one of the reasons which is pure ridiculous.
Now we need LC in there as well and Troy and Faneca.

That totally makes my day! Long overdue. L.C. Greenwood is next!

 

[Coach]

About time. Maybe the most undeterred Steeler on defense in the 1970’s

I do not think LC will make it. Shell had the numbers. LC who is worthy of consideration for the hall of fame does not.

Yeah he was always one of those guys left out cause too many already got in....

Long over due.

Just curious, anyone know how they're handling the induction ceremonies? They can't have them all be inducted on HOF weekend, I'm assuming Troy and the actual 2020 class will be inducted like normal on the first weekend of August, but what about the centennial class?

 

[Drink IRON City]

HOT ..... DANG




EXCITED and happy as hell for the man.!!!!






Salute the nation

They're going to have their own day sometime in September I remember reading. Shell was the biggest omission among Steelers from the 70s. I agree with Coach, LC isn't going to make it.
