Man, I'm glad the Pats aren't in it either. It is awesome seeing Seahawk and Steeler fans take over my area (they're in Ann Arbor, too!) I just love the daily reminders that the Super Bowl is being played without my team in it. It really is awesome. Go out of the office for lunch? Pack of Seahawk fans. Go downtown for a hockey game? Seahawk and Steeler logos everywhere. Renaissance Center? Big ol' Super Bowl logo on it. Yes, life is awesome without the Pats in the Super Bowl. I'm glad that when the local team and their idiot owners sell out and build a domed stadium for the promise of 1 Super Bowl, that it can be a year that my team self destructs and misses out on history. Being the host city rocks!
