My First Super Bowl (Yoni's Super Bowl Diary)

Pre-Game-

Here I am after my pre-game nap waiting for my mom to get me my uniform. I have been working on my Polamalu hair all week. What do you think?

I'm finally suited up and ready to face the Colorado cold. This little suit came all the way from Pittsburgh, sure to bring my boys some luck!

First Half-I don't know why my mom has been so nervous all week, these Steelers are looking pretty good. Especially that Harrison guy. (My dad and I are both drinking our favorite drinks:)

Fourth Quarter-OK, things are getting a little stressful here. My mom looks like she is going to puke and there are some interesting words flying around that I have never heard before. I think I'm just going to read my book and stay out of this.

Post Game-Give me a break, 5 hours at the Steeler Bar takes a lot out of a guy. Not bad for my first Super Bowl. I hope Mikey T. and the rest of the Steelers know that I expect this every year for the next 75 years or so. Go Steelers!
