Congratulations 6 Time Champion Pittsburgh Steelers!
What a game! What a day! What a way to win number 6! Congratulations to the Pittsburgh Steelers for winning Super Bowl Number 6!
We had an incredible experience at the Super Bowl, I’ll be posting photos and videos over the next few days including the full halftime show (it’s not great video but it’s viewable). I got my Flip Video camera into the game and got some great footage of the game, fans and halftime show.
It was a roller coaster type game for me. We came out and punched them in the gut and took a nice 10 point lead, I was feeling great. Then we turn the ball over and the Cardinals have a chance to tie it up or take the lead going into halftime. We were a bit worried then 2008 Defensive player of the year, James Harrison, intercepts a pass from Warner and takes it 100yds for a touch down!
That was a huge turning point in the game. We go from potentially being down 4 to up by 10 points. The 3rd quarter was ok but… I was starting to get worried as we moved into the 4th quarter. I know the Cards can score quickly and have the personnel to do it.
Then it happened, with 2:35 left in the game, Warner hits Fitzgerald for the go ahead touchdown. I was devastated and couldn’t believe what I had just witnessed.
What happened next was surreal and almost like an out of body experience. I took a deep breath, exhaled and looked at the scoreboard and when I did, I saw the score 27-23 Steelers……. this was BEFORE the Cardinals kicked off to us for the last possession.
I leaned over and told the guys, We got this! They looked at me like I was crazy but I kept saying, We got this.. we got this.. Then when we got to mid field with over 1:25 on the clock, I think they started to believe me. The next minute was unbelieveable! A huge pass down to the 6 yard line then 2 plays later, it’s in the history books. Ben to Santonio for the touchdown!
I still can’t believe we were there to witness the game and had the time of my life. This is one that will be remembered for many, many years! It was especially cool to be there with my Dad, Son and Cousin. We had a great time!
Congratulations Steelers on Super Bowl #6

Congrats to the Steelers! I struggled to stay awake during the game, which kicked off at 11:30ish GMT and fell asleep during the 2nd quarter, but really wanted the Steelers to win! First thing I did following morning was check nfl.com and watched the highlights!
