College is expensive and hard to get in to. With a scholarship, they can get into college for less money and play the sport the love for even longer. After…

78 more yards to capture the super bowl title. That is when the stadium turned from silence into loud Steelers cheers. With yellow terrible towels waving everywhere, the Steelers regained momentum for one final possession and scored. When Ben Roethlisberger threw the game winning touchdown pass with 35 seconds left, it sent the crowd into a screaming, towel-waving frenzy. Waving the terrible towel has been a long tradition for…
