Ben Sheets, 28, watches the first game of the season against Tennessee at a bar in Mt. Lebanon, an unincorporated suburb of Pittsburgh.

A network administrator, Sheets has been on the waiting list for Steelers season tickets since he was 16. He should be eligible in eight years. Of course, season tickets today cost about $30,000, so he may end up selling his spot on eBay.

Red Bull and vodkas were his drink of choice the evening of the game.

After seeing his head in his hands for a little while, I got worried.

"Umm, dude, are you O-"

"Am I praying?" he said. "Yes, I am."

The Steeler's took the game in overtime.
