3. MAJOR jealousy here!
An indoor stadium increases your options on clothing. (from that credit card ad) "A leather bustier that lifts and separates" might do the trick.

Represent Pennsylvania well and cheer for the Steelers.

7. Oh you know I will be cheering for the Steelers!
Nothing against Washington but when an obnoxious Eagles fan is born, we are required to take an oath that should our beloved Birds not make the playoffs, we immediately convert to Pittsburgh fans :)

9. I got to go to the Super Bowl once.
Minnesota versus Miami at Rice Stadium in Houston in 1974. Cold, no big halftime show, and I was rooting for Minnesota just because the Miami fans were so obnoxious (something about white towels?)

Not exactly on the same scale of today's Super Bowls. ;)

Have fun!

13. White hankies
Damn, I miss those things. The Orange Bowl was nothing but waving white in those years.

I attended only one also: Jets/Colts when I was a kid.

15. A 'Fro wig
Because, here in SE Michigan, Big Ben refers to Big Ben Wallace of the Pistons. The 34-5 Pistons. :-)

17. Fries, I'm not trying to break your heart here, but . . .
it seems as if every young woman in America (let alone Pittsburgh) is vying for Big Ben's affections. ;)

I'm happily married and old enough to be Ben's mom, so no danger here, LOL! (BTW, the hottest-selling tee shirt on his website was the one with the words "Mrs. Roethlisberger".)
*************************************************************************
Check out this question from Mike Wilbon's Monday afternoon chat on washingtonpost.com:

D.C. Suburbs : Ben Roethlisberger is tall, hot, and my age. Is he dating/married?

Michael Wilbon: Married? No. What, you want me to fix you up with him?

Link:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/discussion/2006/01/20/DI2006012001416.html
*************************************************************************
Or, some of the comments on his blog:

"Ben-hey stud! I just wanted to say congrats to you and the team for making it to the Super Bowl! Yinz deserve it 100%!I'm such a die-hard Steeler fan! I keep getting in trouble @my work (Norwin Hills SUBWAY!) by my boss because I keep wearing my Big Ben pin on my uniform...haha oh well-it's so worth it! I proudly display my love for you and the team! :) I joke around with my friends and tell them that I'm gonna marry the best QB in the NFL..YOU! haha I love you Ben! Keep up the good work! PITTSBURGH'S GOIN TO THE SUPERBOWL! HERE WE GO! I think I would die of a heart attack if you actually responded back to me...it would make my LIFE! You're so amazingly talented and not to mention HOTT!! haha GO STEELERS!"

********************************************************************
"We don't talk football in the bedroom, baby."

(Note from Penndems: WHOA! :scared: :spray: :wow:)

********************************************************************
"Alright Ben, YES! Please stop sending the flowers and cards--I will marry you! OK,I have publically accepted. Can we get on with winning the Super Bowl now!?"

21. Big Ben didn't write that, LOL
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 02:00 PM by Penndems
One of his female admirers posted that on his blog (as are the other two comments towards the bottom of my post).

WHOA! ;)

22. Haha, I was starting to get worried!
That was funny - and, you know I had to go buy a Mrs. Roethlisberger shirt after you mentioned that, right? :)

23. Where in the world did you find one?
His website said they were completely sold out. It looks like a cute tee!

25. I got one from Cafe Press...it's cute!
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 02:58 PM by friesianrider
It's a pale pink tee...I don't know what the originals look like, but I liked the pink. I figured I had to have one just so Ben, uh...recognizes me :)

Good on ya, Fries! :applause: It IS a cute tee shirt, and Ben's a nice-looking guy. :)

24. I am green eyed with jealousy
Edited on Wed Jan-25-06 02:23 PM by datadiva
The only time I have ever gotten to see my Steelers play was about 9 or 10 years ago, they played the Oakland Raiders and I took my son to see them play. He's a Raiders fan, (still) don't know how. The Steelers won. Have a great time! :toast: :applause:
