Yesterday, a friend gave me a yellow towel along with some cleaning stuff to use on my bike. Well, I don't own a real Terrible Towel, and this one isn't official, BUT it's the same shade yellow, so it'll do for the game!
GO STEELERS!

Sixburgh' Shirts For Super Bowl Feature Steelers' James Harrison
PITTSBURGH -- New t-shirts celebrating the Steelers' quest for a sixth Super Bowl championship are being printed Wednesday and shipped to stores throughout Pittsburgh.
The shirts are black, with a picture of Steelers linebacker James Harrison and the slogan, "On The Road To Sixburgh."
All Pro Embroidery and Screen Printing is producing the shirts at its Streets Run Road location on the city's North Side. Harrison, the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year, was expected to stop by the printing shop later Wednesday for a first-hand look. Reporter Sheldon Ingram modeled the new shirt at the Steelers' South Side practice field during a live shot on WTAE Channel 4 Action News at noon. The Steelers will play the Arizona Cardinals in Super Bowl XLIII on Feb. 1. If Pittsburgh wins, it will be the first franchise to claim six Super Bowl titles.

It used to be Terry Bradshaw,
Now these days it's Big Ben,
Who's making sure that the Steelers,
Are going to win it again,

From Lynn Swann and John Stallworth,
Right on down to Hines Ward,
The Steeler bus is still rolling,
With Mike Tomlin on board,

They're on the road to Sixburgh,
It's been one heck of a ride,
For all the people in Pittsburgh,
The Steelers won't be denied,
They wave their terrible towels,
Making sure that they're heard,
All the way down to Tampa,
On the road to Sixburgh,

Back when the Bus and Bill Cowher,
Collected one for the thumb,
Surely you knew that the Steelers,
Were never going to be done,

Cause there's a hand that's still empty,
With lots of room for more rings,
Just wait and see all the jewelry,
This trip to Florida brings,

They're on the road to Sixburgh,
It's been one heck of a ride,
For all the people in Pittsburgh,
The Steelers won't be denied,
They wave their terrible towels,
Making sure that they're heard,
All the way down to Tampa,
On the road to Sixburgh,

From the mighty Steel Curtain,
To Polamalu and Clark,
The other teams know for certain,
Their bite is worse than their bark,

They're on the road to Sixburgh,
It's been one heck of a ride,
For all the people in Pittsburgh,
The Steelers won't be denied,
They wave their terrible towels,
Making sure that they're heard,
All the way down to Tampa,
On the road to Sixburgh,
All the way down to Tampa,
On the road to Sixburgh ...

STEELERS ALL THE WAY!

This game is a win/win for me. But I'll be honest and say I'm pulling for the Steelers to pull it out. I don't have a Terrible towel, but I do have some old used up Terrible Cinelli cork wrap in Steeler yellow. I'll be swinging the "Terrible Wrap" during the game!! :banana:

Go Cuz! :banana:
Go Steelers! :banana:

I'm conflicted too. I like both teams. I live in Philly, so I don't know whether that means I'm s'posed to hate the Steelers as cross-state rivals or root for them as the next best thing to a home team. But I grew up in Arizona and its nice to see those folks have a team to get into. A bunch of my old friends and I trash talked a bit before the Carinal/Eagle game, but the Cardinals were just better - the Eagles did well just to get back into it in the 3rd quarter. Its fun to watch a player really come into his own, and Larry Fitzgerald is definitely emerging as one of the best receivers in the game - maybe the best if Randy Moss has lost a step or two. The guy's just a blast to watch. I used to play corner in high school and to say I can't even imagine what it would be like trying to cover that guy is the understatement of the friggin' millennium!

So I'll just sit back and enjoy what will hopefully be a good game. An incredible offense vs an incredible defense. It doesn't get much better than that. I'd be on the Steelers, but having watched the Cardinals on this hot streak, I wouldn't bet much.
