Troy Polamalu will be competing in his second Super Bowl today - playing Safety for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Polamalu, 27, who is of Samoan decent, was born in California, and attended high school in Oregon - where he excelled at baseball, basketball and football. His Uncle - Aoatoa Polamalu - played Nose Tackle for Penn State when I was a student there in the late 80's.
You'll be able to easily recognize Polamalu on the football field today - Troy will be the one with the gorgeous long hair cascading from under his helmet and blowing wildly in the breeze. Be still my heart.
