GO STEELERS!

Devin and I have really enjoyed getting into the sports here. The Steelers are going to the superbowl and Pittsburgh basketball is top 4....oh and the Penguins (hockey) almost won in the championship game during orientation in July. But can I tell you Pittsburgh take obsession to a new level here. I have been amazed at what people will put in their yards and car to show support:

* Job dress code goes out the window 3 weeks before a game.
* They put so many stickers and posters and yes......flags all over their car, that you can't see out any window
* I saw the ugliest (bless their hearts) home made, welded wire shout out that was a few feet tall saying go steelers.
* They wrap their doors in the colors.
* Every store has a Steeler section of paraphernalia and I seriously always see someone trying on a sweatshirt.
* And the whole town goes into depression when the team looses! It is hilarious. Stores shut down and that it all they can talk about!
Anyways here is my suppot wish of Good luck to our teams!



Even though I lived in AZ for 12 years and Penn for 6 months, this Steeler obsession is just contagious!
