Steeler Nation Down Under454 views"Let the boys know that Yinzers around the world are wearing the Black and Gold, twirling our terrible towels and spreading the Good Word of The Son (Coach Mike Tomlin,) The Spirit (Sir Dick LeBeau) and The Wholy Ghost (Art Rooney.) Australians wonder why football players wear pads and I say two words, "Troy Polamalu." Needless to say, Steeler Nation is in every corner of this blue marble.

"Great Win! Keep it going. More importantly, congratulations on the birth of your new joy, Benny Jr. If you come to Darwin I will show you crocodiles. Not many Pittsburgh born and bred Yinzers have seen them and I know you are from Ohio. Enjoy, the picture. Its my wife and me at Uluruu in the Red Centre. And yes, that is a Barry Foster jersey. I try to rock it on the fan website but its never there...but it is always on me half way around the world when the Black and Gold take the field. Tell Shaun "South Side" Suisham hell of a win.

"Here we go Steelers, here we go!"

-- David Witzke, sent after the Steelers vs Ravens win on December 2, 2012.

Sharing their Big Day with Big Ben!454 viewsCorey & Brittany Casper had a â€œsurprise guestâ€ appear at their wedding reception at Treesdale Country Club in May, and wanted to share their story:

â€œOn our wedding day, May 17, 2013, we got more than any Pittsburgh fan could ever want. Our day was amazing and as we were enjoying ourselves at our wedding reception, we saw someone that looked familiar just outside the door! We went out in the hallway and saw the one and only Big Ben â€“ coming back in from a round of golf with friends (see this weekâ€™s Picture of the Week)! We were so excited! He was very personable, taking time out of his night to say â€œhelloâ€ and to congratulate us on our marriage, and to pose for pictures with us! We were so excited to be able to share our big day with our favorite player on the Pittsburgh Steelers! We will forever remember this day thanks to Ben!! Thank you again for the amazing memory!!" â€“ Corey & Brittany Casper

*Thank you and congratulations to Corey & Brittany!

Steve Hakin in Peru!454 views"Here is a photo of me wearing my Big Ben shirt in Machu Picchu Peru. It's one of the seven wonders of the world. Go Steelers. The Nation is everywhere. I purposely made sure to wear my Steelers gear that day. I'm sure you have many fans that have personally connected to Ben in one way or another. Now I've been a Steelers fan my whole life but I was particularly excited when Ben was drafted by the Steelers because he is from my home town in Ohio and my Mom and Aunts went to high school with Ben's Dad, Ken. Anyways Go Steelers and can't wait for football season to start." -- Steven Hakin

July, 2013 - Big Ben in VA Beach453 views"Ben was a class act. I asked him for a picture and he did not hesitate at all! He got right up and took a picture with me and my buddy, Doug Tojeiro. Ben was not looking for any attention or anything - he was just like a regular person in Buffalo Wild Wings. I also wished him the best of luck this upcoming season. Stand up guy, he was a down to earth person. Mad respect to him and I hope he has a good season. Thank you so much!" -- Joey Augustine
