Today a new Super Bowl Champion will be crowned and the team that wins the game receives the Super Bowl Trophy, known as the Vince Lombardi Trophy. Each year a new trophy is made for the winning team and they keep it forever.
As I’m getting ready for the game on Sunday and hearing all the reports about years past and the best play, the best player, the best team, I started thinking there are some things that have never happened on Super Sunday.

They did bounce back with a win against Maryland, 84-64, but that wasn’t enough to get them back to #1. The new #1 team is Michigan who hasn’t been #1 in 20 years since the days of the Fab 5.
‘Once upon a midnight dreary, while I ponder, weak and weary’, the first line to ‘The Raven,' by Edgar Allen Poe. It was, and I think still is, a must read for school children of all grades. 'The Raven' was first published January 29, 1845. It is a story of a man trying to forget his lost love when a raven flies through his window and the man speaks to it.
