Ben’s Beard

Look’s like it’s gonna be Steelers 24/7 on the site. until Feb. 6! I’d like to think that IheartPGH.com had something to do with building all this positive Pittsburgh energy and taking our boys to the Superbowl. 😉

Check out this website made by some University of Pittsburgh students:


http://www.bensbeard.com/

From the site:

“This website exists to show our undying support to Ben Roethlisberger and his mighty beard. Though at first we may have had our doubts, the beard has proven itself throughout the season, and we hereby recognize its ultimate power. As a sign of our support for Big Ben, his beard, and the Pittsburgh Steelers, we, the undersigned, pledge to lay down our razors and not shave our beards until Big Ben shaves his. “

Amazingly enough, over 2700 people have signed the pledge since Sunday.
