On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers became the AFC Conference Champions... and now, they're heading to Superbowl XLIII!!
For those of you who don't know... Mike is a die hard Steelers fan! In 2007 he got to go to his first NFL game when the Steelers played the Jacksonville Jaguars at Heinz Field!! He went with his sister, Patirce, who is also a HUGE Steelers fan. While there, they got their very own terrible towels, cheered with all their might, and even met Hines Ward in the airport on the way home!!
Sadly, the Steelers lost that snowy day... and although Mike and Patrice had a blast, they were left feeling a little disappointed.
Well, it looks like they're about to get a second chance to see their favorite team win!! Being the avid fan that she is, Patrice couldn't help herself; and after their triumphant victory this last Sunday, she bid on (and won) 2 tickets to Superbowl XLIII in Tampa on February 1, 2009!! We're sending Mike with her and can't wait to see how the Steelers do in yet another Superbowl Championship!!
We're counting on our QB - Ben Roethlisberger (#7) to lead us to another victory!!
Go STEELERS!!

How fun to go to the Superbowl. I don't think I've ever known someone who has actually went to it. WoW!! That is so cool. If he goes then I can say I know someone who went to the Superbowl.
How freak'n rad is that! What an opportunity, Super Bowl with your favorite team. I hope they win!
Miss ya
What a dream come true for Mike. I hope he will paint his face or hold a big sign. Should we look for him on TV? Hope his travels are safe! XOXO Stacy and family.
Hey I set my blog to private and can't remember if I added you or not. Will you give me your email address so I can add you as a friend. You can send it to me at lissa9480@yahoo.com.
Thanks!
Boo Hiss! We were totally rooting for the Cardinals. (A fruitless effort.) Did Mike end up going?
