PHOTO OF THE SEASON
We'll be watching our Daddy on T.V. in 2018!
“Thanks to all the fans, to Steeler Nation all over the world. We just appreciate your support. We know that there’s a lot of great memories of this season that we’ll be able to look back on. Some great games, from last minute field goals (to) last minute drives, some things that hopefully people can remember forever. I’m sorry that it didn’t end the way that we wanted it to, but I hope and we all hope as Steelers that you enjoyed this season, and next year, we’ll try to be better.” -- Ben.

Don't Quit
The words from Coach Hep's favorite poem, "Don't Quit" were not recited just to motivate his players before a game - they were a way of life for him. Ben keeps a copy of that poem taped to his locker.
When things go wrong, as they sometimes will,
Life is queer with its twists and turns,
As every one of us sometimes learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out:
Don't give up though the pace seems slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must, but do not quit.
Often the goal is nearer than,
It seems to a faint and faltering man,
Often the struggler has given up,
When he might have captured the victor's cup,
And he learned too late when the night slipped down,
How close he was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far,
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst that you must not quit.
Ben on the Cover
