<p>Actually, the oddsmakers currently have the Pack favored by 2-1/2. Steelers are the 'dog in this one.</p>
<p>I’m not sure I’ll even watch, but I’ll root for the Beasts of the Bay. Same conference as my Bears.</p>
<p>Just made a bet with a college friend who is a cheesehead. Loser wears the winning team’s hat & posts photos on Facebook. I so hope the Steelers win because I look terrible in yellow with a wedge on my head.</p>
<p>The Packers are the odds-makers favorites? Wow, I had no idea! (the Pats were too).</p>
<p>As for the Packers’ yellow; they need a design make-over! Very few people look good in that color, although I do really like the cheesey hats.</p>

<p>I scheduled a Board Meeting for my foundation - <a href=“http://www.friendlywaterfortheworld.com%5B/url%5D”>www.friendlywaterfortheworld.com</a> - during the SuperCup, and then will go to a rehearsal to sing Schubert.</p>
<p>I admit I haven’t read all previous posts but I’ve got a dilemma. DH is a lifelong Packers fan. DS#1 is also a Packers fan. DS#2 is a Steelers fan. We had already been coping with a “domestic situation” because DS#2 and I are ACC rivals. But this may just bring our household to the brink.</p>
<p>Another reason to respect the Steelers - The Rooney rule - named after the Steeler’s owner who was a big proponent of more black coaches in the NFL:

<p>I just finished a very interesting article from the New York Times(published January 25th).The Packers coach,Mike McCarthy, is from Pittsburgh (Greenfield-a town very close to where I grew up). He grew up a huge Steelers fan and still has lots of family and friends back in Greenfield(and financially supports his old school and some local charities). Some people in Greenfield are pretty conflicted about the game. I’m still certainly going to root for the Steelers but thought this was a pretty neat story.</p>
<p>My reason to root for Packers.
Their DST and Greg Jennings are the big reason I won my Fantasy league this year.</p>

<p>Thank God… I was really shaken by the image of you watching a pro football game.</p>
<p>great lakes mom - it is a bit hard but I have lived in WI so long that GB has become a bigger part of me. Hope S is having a great trip in India!</p>
<p>If I want to stay married and I want D to speak to me, I have to go for the Packers:)</p>
<p>Gloworm and I are rooting for the Blackhawks!</p>
<p>Ohhhhhh, it’s the superbowl. Begrudgingly going for the Pack… A true Whine and cheese party here.</p>
<p>Shennie, I moved from Pittsburgh when I got married at 25. Thirty years later I still think of Pittsburgh as home and visit often. I’m very connected now to where I’ve lived in Virginia for so many years but Pittsburgh will always be home. Heck,the Peter Allen song, I Still Call Australia Home even gets to me when he sang about no matter how far he roams, he still calls Australia home. I feel that way about Pittsburgh. My sister in law(also from Pittsburgh) has lived in Baltimore for about 20 years but rooted for the Steelers in the Pittsburgh-Baltimore game! great lakes mom,hope your son liked Pitt. I went there for graduate school and husband went to Carnegie Mellon.</p>

Best reason yet to root for the Packers!! We want to see the pics!</p>
<p>“Thank God… I was really shaken by the image of you watching a pro football game.”</p>
<p>Hey, I can watch a pro football game (though preferably not the SeaChickens.) It’s kind of like Avatar - these huge creatures from outer space knocking each other’s brains out. It’s great background for writing - sortta like white noise.</p>
<p>(I miss Howard Cossell.)</p>
<p>I went to the library today. They decorated the circulation desk in Packer colors. They even strung up some cheese hats.</p>
<p>Nova10, You would see all kinds of decorations all over Pittsburgh as well. Terrible towels everywhere, people dressing up in Steelers colors, rallies before the games,etc. When my mother was in ICU in 2006 during the playoffs, even the hospital was decorated, nurses wearing Steeler stuff, people trying to catch the game in between dealing with patients,etc.It’s always pretty exciting for the cities involved and for the fans of the teams involved in the Super Bowl.</p>
<p>St. Clair Hospital in Pittsburgh(Mt. Lebanon) has been wrapping all the newborns in the Terrible Towel. It’s never too early to be a Steelers fan! The pictures online are cute.</p>
<p>The picture I just saw online of a Packers newborn with a cheesehead on is pretty cute too. However,they are using Packers towels but the Terrible Towel will always be the Original. Any other towel out there is nothing but an imitator. Go Steelers!</p>
