February 7, 2013: Brett Keisel's Shear Da Beard809 viewsBrett looks a little....worried!

Steelers.com has an article and video on Brett's event:

May 6, 2012 - Graduation Day 2611 viewsItâ€™s been a big offseason for Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger. First he graduated from Miami University, and now he has been selected as one of six individuals to be inducted into the schoolâ€™s Athletic Hall of Fame later this year.

Roethlisberger, who played at Miami from 2001-03, holds all of the schoolâ€™s major passing records, including passing for 200 yards or more in all 14 games in 2003, also an NCAA record for most games in a season passing for 200 yards or more and consecutive 200 yards plus passing games.

What makes the induction really special for Roethlisberger is he is going in the same year as his former coach, the late Terry Hoeppner (photo above). Hoeppner, who died of brain cancer in June, 2007, spent 19 seasons at Miami, and was the head coach during Roethlisbergerâ€™s time at the school. Miami had a winning season each of Hoeppnerâ€™s six years as the schoolâ€™s head coach (1999-2004).

â€œThat was the biggest thing for me,â€ said Roethlisberger of being inducted with Hoeppner. â€œItâ€™s an honor to go into the Hall of Fame, but to go in with Coach Hoeppner kind of made me tear up a bit and gave me goose bumps. To me that means more than going in myself. It will be an emotional day.â€

Luck o' the Irish!649 viewsJune, 2012: Ben poses with James Hurley (left) and Jeremiah Buckley at Charlie Foley's Pub in Killarney in County Kerry, Ireland.

"I was quite shocked when he came in as I have one of his jerseys at home, but I couldn't go home to get it signed because I was working. Thank you so much! We have the picture framed in the bar and it is a real hit with all Americans who visit us. Just a pity we couldnt get it signed, that would have been magical!" -- James Hurley

And from the management at Charlie Foley's Pub via Twitter on Ben's visit:

"What a gentle giant! [Came in] to the pub and couldn't be nicer. We have his picture on our wall, he is our adopted hero! We wish him the luck of the Irish!"

Luck o' the Irish, Part II482 views"I had the pleasure of meeting Ben last summer in Ireland at the Old Head Golf Links. As a huge supporter of the NFL I was awestruck when I saw him and it made my summer! -- James Cullinane, on meeting Ben in June, 2012.Jan 30, 2013

Tom & Alexis Keen - January 8, 2013 916 viewsMy wife and I were driving home from Florida after visiting her parents for the holidays and we ended up staying at the Hyatt Regency in Louisville Kentucky. It was funny because it was probably a 1 in 30 chance that we ended up at that hotel because we used Priceline to book it so we didn't get to choose where we stayed.

We were up in our room and looking on the Facebook page when we realized Big Ben, Brett Keisel, and Merril Hodge were in the area at the ATA Show. We decided to get dressed and walk around the hotel a bit, never thinking we would run into them. We walked down to the lobby and lterally two minutes later Big Ben walked in the front door.

Being huge Steelers fans for 25 years, my wife and I were totally stoked! I called out to him that I would love to get a picture with him and he hollered over to me, "Let's do it"!

We were so excited that night we could hardly sleep. Thank you so much Ben for stopping for us to get a picture and to make such an awesome memory.

Congratulations to you and your wife on having Ben Junior and much luck next year. Hopefully you can bring home number seven -- Tom KeenJan 21, 2013

His Aunt Penny, a die-hard Steelers fan is converting her little nephew early - he is from Philly. She said it didn't take much to do - just put him in a Big Ben jersey and give him a Steelers horse and he was instantly converted! lol
