We are a few days away from possibly achieving a first in the NFL - the first team in history to win the Super Bowl six times. It doesn't sound like much, but it is something pretty special.

Especially for the Steeler Nation. The Steeler Nation is something you don't understand unless you have been a part of it. Basically, the Steeler Nation is a group of displaced Pittsburgh Steeler fans. They are all over the world for one reason or another - jobs, spouses, commitments, etc. As a part of this elite group, you are a Pittsburgher at heart. That's the only requirement.

I was a part of it in the spring of 1986 when Dave and I moved to Lima, Ohio. Gosh I hated it there. I was alone all day long with Nikki. This wasn't necessarily a bad thing but she was only a few months old so conversation wasn't the best. Dave worked for an explosives company at the time. He put in 16 hour days. By the time he got home from work, he'd fall asleep while eating dinner. It was that bad.

But through it all, we grew as a couple. We grew as a little family. We learned to pull ourselves up by the bootstraps and pay our own way in the world. The money was tight, but we managed. And we solidified our bond.

That said, we couldn't wait to move back home - back to Pittsburgh where our friends and family are. We learned an appreciation for this steel city and the hard working people who live here.

Hines Ward said he wants to win this one for the fans. He told reporters that the folks of the Steeler Nation are the best he's ever seen. So this weekend, as the world watches the Super Bowl for the 43rd time, I invite you all to become a part of the Steeler Nation.

Here we go, Steelers! Here we go!
