Coincidence? I think not.

The Steelers are on the path to a 7th Superbowl title by winning the AFC championship game last night. This morning, the Elementary principal brought in Krispy Kreme doughnuts for all of the teachers in our department. Coincidence? Maybe. You be the judge.

I saw this list somewhere, and I thought I would take a moment to honor all those who have lost the Superbowls over the years. Nobody remembers them...except for the ones that the Steelers crushed, including the Green Bay Packers in Superbowl XLV! Steeler wins are highlighted.
  • I (1967)- Kansas City Chiefs
  • II (1968)- Oakland Raiders
  • III (1969)- Baltimore Colts
  • IV (1970)- Minnesota Vikings
  • V (1971)- Dallas Cowboys
  • VI (1972)- Miami Dolphins
  • VII (1973)- Washington Redskins
  • VIII (1974)- Minnesota Vikings
  • IX (1975)- Minnesota Vikings
  • X (1976)- Dallas Cowboys
  • XI (1977)- Minnesota Vikings
  • XII (1978)- Denver Broncos
  • XIII (1979)- Dallas Cowboys
  • XIV (1980)- Los Angeles Rams
  • XV (1981)- Philadelphia Eagles
  • XVI (1982)- Cincinnati Bengals
  • XVII (1983)- Miami Dolphins
  • XVIII (1984)- Washington Redskins
  • XIX (1985)- Miami Dolphins
  • XX (1986)- New England Patriots
  • XXI (1987)- Denver Broncos
  • XXII (1988)- Denver Broncos
  • XXIII (1989)- Cincinnati Bengals
  • XXIV (1990)- Denver Broncos
  • XXV (1991)- Buffalo Bills
  • XXVI (1992)- Buffalo Bills
  • XXVII (1993)- Buffalo Bills
  • XXVIII (1994)- Buffalo Bills
  • XXIX (1995)- San Diego Chargers
  • XXX (1996)- Pittsburgh Steelers
  • XXXI (1997)- New England Patriots
  • XXXII (1998)- Green Bay Packers
  • XXXIII (1999)- Atlanta Falcons
  • XXXIV (2000)- Tennessee Titans
  • XXXV (2001)- New York Giants
  • XXXVI (2002)- St. Louis Rams
  • XXXVII (2003)- Oakland Raiders
  • XXXVIII (2004)- Carolina Panthers
  • XXXIX (2005)- Philadelphia Eagles
  • XL (2006)- Seattle Seahawks
  • XLI (2007)- Chicago Bears
  • XLII (2008)- New England Patriots
  • XLIII (2009)- Arizona Cardinals
  • XLIV (2010)- Indianapolis Colts
  • XLV (2011)- Green Bay Packers
 Thoughts:
1. How could the Denver Broncos and the Buffalo Bills lose so many times in a row?
2. I think my love for the Steelers reaches back to my 4th grade math teacher, Ms. DeGaetano, and her love for Rod Woodson.
3. As of 2008, the Steelers had sold out every home game since 1972. I think that's still true with 317 games. Can someone check me on that?
