With 43 days left before high school football season ...

We love high school football. Really, we do.

But, we love stories about old Steelers fans just as much. 

That is why, today, I share with you something I shared with Post-Gazette sports department web sensei Dan Gigler yesterday, among other things, he is the curator of the Post-Gazette's Blog n' Gold blog.

Simply put, it is Aunt Agnes, a lady I kind of know.....emphasis on kind of

She goes to the same tailgate party I attend (when I am not working) when the Steelers have home games.

The following is an email I got from my friend Mary Joyce yesterday, the undefeated, untied, unscored upon Queen of the North Side. Anyhow, here was the e-mail she sent ... and no, this is not a joke. Totally for real. I am speechless :

Nice tattoo Aunt Agnes!, on some woman that just won't look right, but on you it's perfect. Well...all most perfect, I don't suppose you'll get a Jayhawk on your 91st birthday? Now that would be perfect!

I guess no one ever told her that the tattoo will look weird once she gets older.
