November, 2014: Fan Photos867 viewsKevin Murray's friend, from Syracuse, NY has a 16-year daughter who LOVES the Steelers and Big Ben! I have a friend driving into Pittsburgh tomorrow for the game from Syracuse, NY.
"This drives her Dad nuts because he is a Buffalo Bills fan and they have never even lived anywhere near Pittsburgh. Being a good Dad he is driving them all the way up here for a game. Haley has every Ben jersey there is. Every Sunday she sits in front of the computer in her Ben jersey and watches the game with the NFL ticket which she pays for while here Dad watches the Bills." -- Kevin
Dad, sorry to make you crazier, but we're posting your Steeler-lovin' daughter's picture on Big Ben's website!

June 4, 2012 - Office Decorating 101853 viewsHow does a diehard Steelers fan decorate her office in the middle of Ravens land?
Well, if you’re Marilyn McClellan, you have your three autographed jerseys framed and hung proudly in your office…in the middle of Baltimore!
Marilyn attended the Show at Chantilly on April 1st this year and not only posed for a photo with Ben, but got him to sign a jersey as well. “Mean Joe†Greene was also in attendance and signed a jersey for Marilyn too.
All that was left to do was have them, and her Troy Polamalu autographed jersey framed and viola! Steelers Country in the heart of Baltimore!
Thank you Marilyn! It was a pleasure meeting you at the Show!

February 9, 2013 - Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Weekend819 viewsBengals fan and MU alum Dan Plettner not only had the opportunity to attend the Hall of Fame Induction Dinner last Saturday, but also the opportunity to meet and chat with Big Ben.
He was kind enough to share his story with us:
I had a splendid experience at Ben Roethlisberger’s Miami University Hall of Fame Induction Dinner on Saturday evening. Ben was inducted alongside his posthumous coach, Terry Hoeppner. Ben’s emotions and words were a great tribute to Coach Hoeppner.
I had brought a football for which I frankly am still working toward a decent historical knowledge. I went up to Ben shortly before dinner and told him I had something I thought he might like to see. He smiled immediately as he saw the Redhawks logo on the ball’s finish and then he began examining the ball pretty closely.
I am still uncertain whether the football was actually used in practice and/or games… and whether it was definitively ever touched by Ben in 2003, but I loved the ball 10 times more the moment Ben remarked about the ball to the effect, “this ball has a lot of history.†Another former player at the event informed that the ball was a new model/style in ’03.
I enjoyed a normal conversation with “Big Ben†and he seemed to find my challenge of being a proud Miami alum simultaneous with being a Bengals fan pretty humorous. After talking, when I informed him that I’d be honored if he choose to sign the ball he graciously reached for my pen and took his time to choose a place to autograph it. After thanking him, I felt like a little kid and discretely walked the football around the perimeter of the room (rather than taking a direct route back to my table) so as not to “open the floodgates†for others to approach and ask for his autograph just before the dinner commenced.
Later, listening to the speeches from Ben (which truely honored Terry Hoeppner) and Terry’s wife really fully made me appreciate my good fortune for observing a special night in the history at Miami University.
It also helped me to appreciate Ben on a level different from what I’ve seen during his playing career. Ben showcased humor as a nice compliment to heartfelt emotions, even joking about a fictitious “Brian†who had been accidentally introduced (instead of Ben).
Ben, if you ever happen to read this: thank you for helping me to cherish your contribution to Miami University Athletics.
Best Always,
Dan Plettner
