The Pittsburgh Steelers are Super Bowl champions once more, this time edging out the Arizona Cardinals in a thrilling 27-23 win at the Super Bowl. Ohio native, Ben Roethlisberger, a graduate of Miami University, quarterbacked the Steelers to their second title in his brief NFL career with a last second drive, connecting with former Ohio State star Santonio Holmes with 35 seconds to go after the Steelers squandered a 12 point advantage. The thriller will go down as one of the greatest games in NFL history. The game's early highlight came from none other than an Akron native and Kent State graduate, James Harrison, who returned a touchdown 100 yards for the games pivotal play at the end of the half.

The Cardinals looked dead in the water after the costly interception in the second half off an errant Kurt Warner pass had his team down by 10, after it looked like they would hold the advantage at intermission. The team was down by 12 going into the fourth quarter but came back to life with a touchdown to Larry Fitzgerald and a safety that cut the lead to just three. Following the safety, Kurt Warner once again caught Fitzgerald for a 64 yard touchdown pass that had the Cards thinking Super Bowl with a 23-20 advantage after being left for dead.

Roethlisberger would then lead his team down the field capping it off with the late drive that will forever go down in Super Bowl history.

The Super Bowl is first and foremost about football, but it's also about the food and the commercials. If you're having guests over your place to watch the game, you'll want to make sure you're well stocked with an assortment of snacks and treats. The dessert area is often dominated by football-themed cakes and cookies in your favorite teams' colors, but we'd like to offer you a different option this year: the Super Bowl Sundae.

The Super Bowl Sundae is just what the name implies - a delicious, football themed ice cream sundae. Before you grab the ice cream and all the toppings, wait. To really make your sundae stand out, you'll want to head to the local party store, Kmart, or wherever you can find those cute little mini plastic football helmets. Look for ones slightly larger than your first, and definitely don't grab the ultra mini ones that are about perfectly sized to fit a Barbie doll's head. Once you've gotten the helmets, you're ready to get started. If you can't find any, don't worry. Your Super Bowl Sundae won't be as cool, but we can make do. You can substitute the helmets for plastic bowls in your team colors, which you can find in a rainbow of colors at any party store.
