“Here we go, Steelers, here we go, Pittsburgh’s goin’ to the Super Bowl!” It’s the chorus of the Steelers fight song, and once again, it’s true. It’s a weird sort of deja-vu-but-not-really for me. The last time this happened was 3 years ago, when I had just moved to Philadelphia from Pittsburgh. My roommates and I got into football because we missed the Burgh, and watching the games at the Fox & Hound (a sort of de facto Steelers bar, or at least it used to be, in downtown Philly) was a way to reconnect with others from there and just generally feel the PGH love. Ever since then I’ve been a Steelers fan, but my life has changed in huge ways- that’s why I say it’s not exactly deja vu- more like just a cause to reminisce.
The aforementioned song is damn catchy, though not really a fight song like the Eagles have. It was written rather specifically for Super Bowl XL, mentioning the old head coach and lots of retired players, and it needs updating. In an effort to find a new version, all I could come up with is this playlist of pretty cheesy songs.
For your amusement: me during Super Bowl XL, which the Steelers won, by the way.
That tshirt gets smaller every year. I need a new one for next season- preferably a roomy jersey that I won’t grow out of.



I’m just bummed that the Eagles lost. And hey, didn’t I see you outside of an Eagles game earlier this season?
You need to adopt the Eagles as your team.

Yes, we did meet! I never got the picture that my friend took. I’ll have to bug her for that.
I think you need to adopt the Steelers, temporarily at least so you can have a PA team to root for next week
