Back in the mid-70s when I was in HS, in MD, one of my teachers was a rabid Steelers fan. Mr. Kowalczyk would walk around class with a piece of rough lumber the size of a bat. Whenever he needed to get a student's attention or to make a point, he would slam a desktop with the wood. He was quite a character. There was no part of history he couldn't teach without involving the Steelers. We all thought he was crazy, but cool. Now I see that he was just a typical Pittsburgh fan. Go, Steelers!
ROFL ..... yes, you really made me laugh out loud on that one! We are nuts.

Steelers, publicity seekers dominate Groundhog Day
There were a few boos at the groundhog's prediction of six more weeks of winter, but most of the hundreds of revelers instead turned the event into an impromptu Pittsburgh Steelers rally.
Fans in football jerseys sang "Here we go Steelers," and members of the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club's Inner Circle — the top-hat- and tuxedo-wearing businessmen responsible for carrying on the groundhog tradition each year — threw black and gold Steelers "Terrible Towels" as they waited to rouse Phil from his burrow.
Some of the folks here on FR were appalled at the woman who chose to have her baby delivered before the Super Bowl so she wouldn't miss it. Seems like a rational decision to me.
