It's over for Southern California. Coach Pete Carroll will be dining with some lesser light Hollywood celebrities in the near future

Gone are the USC streaks of 7 straight BCS bowls, 7 straight 11-win seasons, and 7 straight top-4 AP poll finishes. Gone also is USC's 7-year stranglehold on the Pac-10 Conference title

The 2005 NFL football season passed with new all time records being set, with everything from Shaun Alexander's record breaking 28 touchdowns in one season to Nathan Vasher's longest return of a missed field goal at an incredible 108 yards (also the longest play of any kind in NFL history) to the Seattle Seahawks amazing regular season performance and loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Super Bowl XL

Super Bowl XL was the 40th Super Bowl. The game was played on February 5, 2006 at Ford Field in Detroit, Michigan, following the regular football season of 2005. The American Football Conference (AFC) champions, the Pittsburgh Steelers, defeated the National Football Conference (NFC) champions, the Seattle Seahawks, 21-10

Although the Seahawks won the turnover battle, 2-1, and outgained the Steelers by 57 yards, Pittsburgh won on the strength of three big plays converted for touchdowns. The Seahawks were plagued by controversial penalties, dropped balls, poor clock management, and a game-ending interception on a drive deep into Steelers' territory

This was the Steelers fifth Super Bowl win, and with this victory the Steelers join the Dallas Cowboys and the San Francisco 49ers for the most Super Bowl wins by a team

How Big is a Football Field

How can commercial firms make football fans happy, besides selling T-shirts with names of favorite players? The largest German trading company "Quelle" found such original souvenir from World Cup 2006 - this is "exclusive" grass from Berlin Olympic stadium football arena after final game

The whole of surface will be sold out in parts with "quality certificate", as company advertisement says. For 75Euro you will be able to buy an original piece of field, trampled by World Cup 2006 finalists' football boots, in two variants

The first one - is "live grass surface" (30x20cm), which, as advertisement says, will be placed in a special packing, allowing keeping this football relic for a long time. It's supposed, that later a happy holder of grass with traces of famous footballers will put this relic, say, in his garden, and then a gardener-fan will have his own "Worl Cup 2006 corner".

"Field dealers" also thought about those, who have no gardens, but still want to keep an expensive "personal piece of football field". Fot them there's second variant - "conserved grass", to be more exact, a piece of field 14õ8õ5 cm weighing 750 g, covered with acryl.
