Super Bowl 2011: Pennsylvania County to Rename Itself "Black and Gold County"

Super Bowl 2011: Pennsylvania County to Rename Itself "Black and Gold County"

It's 'Arrival Day' in Dallas, as the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers touched down in north Texas earlier this afternoon. From here, we have six whole days of hype leading up to Super Bowl XLV.

Make no mistake, the news will come fast and furious as we speed towards Super Sunday, and not all of it will be about the teams on the field.

Such is the case with the latest report from the The Observer-Reporter, which is reporting that one southwest Pennsylvania county is going the extra mile for their favorite football team.

That would be Greene County, which has apparently realized that their handle just will not do given the current situation.

Thus, they have decided on a new name: Black and Gold County.

Of course, they fully realize that the name change doesn't mean anything. Said commission Chairwoman Pam Snyder, "It doesn't matter what we call ourselves. The Steelers are going to win the Super Bowl."

Given the fact the Packers are 2.5-point favorites, she better hope she's right.
