Greetings All,
New to Benny's House and figured I would say hi and introduce myself. I'm a bit of an unconventional fan; the "steel" in my username refers to my Pittsburgh upbringing (dunno if the first part of the name needs any explanation but I'm very Scottish - kilt, bagpipes, haggis and all). I became a Beavs fan cause young ScottishSteel's favourite color was orange, thought beavers were dope, and that Oregon was a mythic wooded wonderland and the end of the Oregon Trail computer game. The 99 and 2000 bowl games caught my attention but I went all in in 2002 when they faced my dad's Pitt Panthers in the Insight Bowl - it was a young kid's bandwagon but I never left.
I spent my winters on the wrestling mat (still have a wrestling mat in my shed and roll around in my veteran years) and summers at the ballpark so you'll see me frequent The Mat Club the most as Oregon St wrestling is my favourite of all the institution's teams with occasional appearances in Casey's Corner and the football board if I feel I have something worthwhile to say. I live in the outskirts of Happy Valley so watching the Pac12 Network was always a bit of a challenge but I was able to use my Penn St connections to finally make the trek to Corvallis to see the match in Gill this past January and it did not disappoint.
