Here We Go Steelers!

A sigh of relief. Then a shriek of joy as I run laps around the house jumping up and down and over the side of the couch until I wear myself out. Then, I flop down on a pillow, exhausted. That sure was a stressful game. 

That's what usually happens after the Steelers win a playoff game, especially an important one like last week's. (But hey, what Steeler game isn't important?)

And here we go again. I have to gear up and prepare myself for another nerve-racking, pillow biting (that's what I do when I get really nervous), Terrible Towel wringing playoff game. The only difference is that this is the ultimate playoff game........this is the Super Bowl!

By right of birth, born into a family of Pittsburghers who love the "Stillers" I've always been sort of a fan. I'd watch my dad and brothers watch the games and hear them talk about them, but that was about it. You have to start somewhere, right?  It was not until I was probably seven that I started getting really interested in joining my male family members in their football fandom. Ever since then, I've been a big fan. I've cheered the Steelers on every year, but then again, who doesn't! Our whole city loves the Steelers; there is not one Sunday in football season where you can not spot dozens of people sporting  Steelers jerseys. They say -and I don't doubt this one bit- that we have the best fans in all of sports. Of course we do! We're Pittsburgh!

This will be my third Steelers Super Bowl. I saw them win #5 and #6, and boy, am I sure hoping to see them add a 7th Lombardi to the case!
And what will happen if they lose?! I don't know what I'll do, but one things for sure, we will not have a happy household for at least a month. I've seen my brother grieve over sports loses before and Its not pretty.

Whatever the outcome, it'll prove to be an exciting game.

So let's hope the next time I do my post-playoff game routine of sighing, cheering, running, and jumping is on Super Bowl Sunday, when the Steelers win!

Here we go Steelers!!!!!!!
