After a much-needed summer break, you've got your most beloved Steelers blogger back! Yes, and the Steelers themselves as well.

I've been making HUGE plans! I'm moving to Irvine, CA in a month for grad school to attend UC Irvine's MBA program. So please excuse me for neglecting my blogging duties.

Do any of my readers live in the OC? Contact me - I'll need a new crew to watch the games with. It's always the best to start off a great football Sunday morning at 10am with a pitcher and friends!

On an amazingly AWESOME note, I may be featured in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review for  "over-the-top" Steelers fans. I just got this email today:

I'm doing a story this week on Steelers fans who have done odd or interesting things to show their love for the team. I've got a guy in Clairton who built a 13-foot high replica of the Lombardi Tropy in the "sports bar" in his home. I'm interested in people like this if you know any. Please let me know ASAP how I can contact them, the story is running on Sunday.

Then I wrote this back:

I'm the biggest Steelers fan I know in Southern California. But you've already seen my blog :) Oh, and there was the guy who had that Steelers funeral. I'm excited to see your piece this weekend! 

I gave him my digits and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. This may be the most exciting thing to happen to this blog, ever!
