Right now, as I am typing this, there are over 100,000 people swarming the city of Pittsburgh in celebration and 2 of my kids are there.  A waste of time?  For some, sure ... But let me ask you this ... Is anything that can unite a population this large, across religious differencies, across racial lines, across socio-economic stratus a waste?  It is a phenomenon I've never witnessed.  "More than just a team, it's a way of life!"  Right now, we are one people, united in the black & gold, and I think it's a GREAT thing!  :D  Like I said before, football has become our identity, and I don't think that's  bad thing. 

"Who day?  WE day!"  ;)

Re: Alright - One Last STEELER Post
I really wanted to go and I would have if my boss would of said 'Yes' when I asked him if I could take off today.  I am sure if one our techs wasn't vacationing in Vermont this week, I could of went!  This is my 5th Superbowl that I have witness but I only vaguely remember 79' & 80' parades.  74' & 75' I only remember the excitement that the games brought and am not even sure if I went to those parades.  I so wanted to be up close and personal with our hero's!  It's never the same to hear about it or watch it on TV.  The only thing I can say is 'Oh well', since I do want to keep my job.

Likewise ... I've beena fan since  ... well, before Bradshaw.  I have taught my kids the game and now they keep me informed with stats and free agency etc.  I taught them the love of the game.    I actually enejoy it better on TV, closer to the action, so to speak.  and yes, I had to work, too till 11, so the kids left without me!  I'm glad they got it together to go, tho.

I cannot imagine how much fun that must have been.  I live in Tennessee and I always wanted to go see the Steelers at Three Rivers.  Maybe someday I will get to see them at Heinz Field.  Go Steelers!  Super Bowl Champs!

Re: Alright - One Last STEELER Post

I bet Pittsburg was rockin' Sunday night. 

Yep, next year for sure.  It's always a good time when our teams rumble.

Re: Alright - One Last STEELER Post
hahahaha  STILL rockin ... although there is also the kinda shock ... all that emotion and then it comes to a sudden stop.  It's kinda funny.  I am with people all day at work, and people are almost numb ...    wishin it was time for pre-season to start again ... but I guess they all need time to heal and relax.    YOU got class, tess ... we just have to keep New England out of it for a while!  I think between Cinci and Pgh, we got it covered, right?

Re: Alright - One Last STEELER Post
haha...still partying hardy up there...fantastic.  But like you say, the numbness soon replaces all that euphoria.  I'm all for keeping New England out of it.  Oh yeah, I think we both have enough bad boys to do the job...
