bring it on!  i'm going to have to start humming the polka Steeler fight song from the 70's...oh wait, i've been doing that for a month now!

congrats to Cowher, Bettis, Big Ben, Ward, et al.  I can't believe we're going to the Super Bowl!

Hey John,can you believe that now they are the favorite at 3.5 to 4 pts over the Seahawks. Also Troy Polamalu is one amazing athlete.

Yeah, I'm jumping on the Steelers bandwagon now, since the panthers got trounced.  Sigh.... :-/

Troy is da man.  That's one crazy 'do he's got going on as well for a football playa.  He's sooooooooooo fast, it's amazing!

And hell yeah, what a difference a few playoff wins make.  Favorites at the Super Bowl?!  We went from not beating Cincy to not beating Indy to not beating Denver....and now points in the Bowl?

now it's all we we we, and you didn't expect them to beat denver?  sheesh, the steelers beat my favourite team, and i still thought theyd beat the broncos.    

the super bowl is going to be fucking tough.  i only know seattle from watching them about three times this season, but they're obviously tough.  i think seattle is a bit more balanced, running and passing.  the bus doesnt do much away from the goal line, so if seattle plays the pass tough, that will be the key.  ben has come shit hot out of the gates the past few games pass-wise, so its hard to tell if good old bill cowher will stick with the same game plan or try to run in the beginning to switch up things.  

either way, even though i dont like either team ill be watching.  i remember i didnt watch the super bowl last year, dont remember about the year before, so this is my first one in a while.

um, no I didn't and neither did any Steelers fan I know.  the Royal We!  anyhoo, I'm not expecting them to beat Seattle but I'm excited about being in another Bowl.

although, I haven't thought they'd beat the three teams I mentioned, so there's always hope!

come on, where's your blind faith that your sports team can do anything?   ;)

hell, my father-in-law is still convinced the browns are going to get in the super bowl somehow.

52?!  Not a philosophy major either.  But I'll agree on the mostly insane part.  ;)

I would take Seattle with the points.  Big Ben is going to choke in the Bowl.  He ain't Brady!

I'm interested to see how the Steelers hold up against Seattle's defense, which did a damn fine job on Sunday against Carolina.

I rooted for the Steelers all the way, but I'm gonna go with Seattle because of the Alexander/Alabama connection. You can't fuck wit' him!
