Everyone is a football fan on Super Bowl Sunday, but for some of you, these are your teams.

Green Bay and Pittsburgh.

We want to hear from Packer and Steeler fans living in Oklahoma. Even though the frozen tundra of Green Bay and Pittsburgh is far from the red dirt of Oklahoma, we know that there are diehards among us. We know you are out there. We see your car flags and bumper stickers and sweatshirts and hats. We see you wearing your loyalty like a badge of honor.

And why not? The Packers and the Steelers are two of the most storied franchises in pro football.

This is a great Super Bowl match-up, and we know you’re excited about it.

Now, we need to hear from you. We want to tell your stories. How did you become such a big fan? What are your favorite memories? How have you kept your passion for your team alive even though you’re living in Oklahoma?

And please, we’re not looking for bandwagon jumpers. We’re looking for died-in-the-wool, long-time, hard-core fans.

If that’s you, we want to know about your fandom.

Why do you love the Steelers?

Why do you love the Packers?
