THIS IS MY ENTRY: LET ME TAKE ALL YOU STEELER FANS TO A DATE 2-5-06!!! YES THAT IS THE DAY "THE BUS WENT HOME WITH THE CHROME." SUPERBOWL XL TO BE EXACT, I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN CLEVELAND, OHIO AND LIVED THERE UNTIL JANUARY OF 2006, WHEN I MOVED SOUTH TO GEORGIA. MY MOM, GOD REST HER SOUL, WAS A DIE HARD STEELER FAN GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO BRADSHAW, SWANN, BLEIER, AND THE STEEL CURTAIN. SHE LIVED IN UNIONTOWN PENNSYLVANIA, WHERE SHE WAS BORN AND RAISED. ANYWHO, I WATCHED MY STEELERS FIGHT THE SEAHAWKS IN GEORGIA AS MY MOM WATCHED IT IN PA. I CALLED HER EVERYTIME THE STEELERS SCORED, AT HALFTIME, AND OF COURSE DURING THE LOMBARDI TROPHY CEREMONY. I ALAWYS HEARD HER AND MY UNCLE TALK OF THE SUPER STEELERS FROM THE 70'S. I STARTED WATCHING FOOTBALL AND WANTED TO SEE MY GENERATION OF STEELERS WIN THE BIG ONE, AND BY GOD THEY DID IT IN THE 2005 SEASON, WITH CLASS AND GLORY GOING ALL THE WAY FROM THE WILDCARD GAME TO THE SUPERBOWL, AS THE AWAY TEAM. I GOT TO SHARE A SUPERBOWL WITH HER, AND OUR STEELRS WON, GREAT DAY AND GREAT MEMORY!!! AS HAPPY AS I WAS ABOUT THE WIN AND SHARING IT WITH MY MOM, TRADEGY STRUCK ON 8-08-08 WHEN SHE PASSED AWAY. AS ALL YOU KNOW IN THE STEELER NATION, THAT YEAR THEY WON SUPERBOWL 43. I WAS LIVING IN VIRGINA, WHERE I GOT TO SEE ALL THE STEELER GAMES, NOT LIKE IN OHIO WHERE THEY SHOVE THE CLEVELAND CLOWNS DOWN OUR THROATS. ANYWAY, ME AND MY UNCLE WERE TALKING THROUGHOUT THE GAME AND WHEN WARNER THREW THAT TD PASS WITH 2:37 LEFT ON THE CLOCK, I SIPPED OUT OF MY MOM'S STEELER MUG, WAVED MY SUPEROWL XL TERRIBLE TOWEL, TAPPED MY MOM'S STEELER BOBBLEHEAD GIVEN TO ME WHEN SHE PASSED, AND PRAYED FOR A MIRACLE COMEBACK. I SAID THIS, AND I QUOTE, "MOM HELP BIG BEN THROW A PASS TO HINES OR HOLMES, HELL EVEN WILLIE PARKER, WE MUST WIN.” SHORTLY AFTER THAT, BIG BEN THREW THAT TD TO SANTONIO AND THE REST WAS HISTORY AND THE STEELERS GOT THERE RECORD 6TH SUPERBOWL TITLE!! AFTER THAT I KNEW THINGS WOULD BE OK. NOW I LIVE IN WEST VIRGINIA AND I STILL GET TO SEE ALL THE GAMES, AND FOR THE PAST YEAR I HAVE SEEN A PRETTY BLACK N GOLD MONARCH BUTTERFLY COME BY ME AND MY KIDS. I FEEL DEEP DOWN IN MY BLACK N GOLD SOUL, THAT BUTTERFLY IS HER, I HAVE SEEN IT ON SUPERBOWL SUNDAY, AND STILL SEE IT EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I THINK OF HER!!! SO OUR STEELERS, AS WE CALLED IT, NOT ONLY WON 2 SUPERBOWLS IN MY ADULT LIFE, BUT BONDED A MOM AND SON FOR ETERNITY!!! GOD BLESS THE PITTSBURGH STEELERS, AND MOM I KNOW YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME AND OUR PITTSBURGH STEELERS!!! Thank you Robert for sharing your story with us.
