Terrible Towels breezed through against the one vote homer that chose the Marlins sculpture.

My high school copied the Terrible Towels one year. They are quite fun to wave around. I think I still have one in a box somewhere.

This was the only choice in Rd 2 that gave me pause.  I didn't even vote for Ralphie's Run in the first round, but it is pretty cool.  I just think that the Terrible Towels are iconic and inclusive.  Those overhead stadium shots are pretty sweet.

Ralphie's Run sucks.  This is a landslide.

I'll vote for the Terrible Towel every time, as a tribute to Myron Cope, the Steelers radio broadcaster who came up with the idea for the Towel. He had an absolutely horrible voice for an announcer, but he was so damned funny and so damned dedicated to the Steelers that he became one of my favorite broadcasters of all time.

Okel Dokel!

Edited to add the following youtube link, where Myron Cope himself explains how the Terrible Towel came into existence...

I hate the Steelers, but I have a Terrible Towel.  Because when my cousin went to Pittsburgh, he brought me back one cause he knew I'd appreciate it as a football fan.

That's what this bracket is about.  Its respected widely by fans everywhere, and anyone can participate.
