Today is the day that either the Arizona Cardinals or the Pittsburgh Steelers will walk off the football field in Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida, with pride in their hearts and victory wrapped around their fingers as Super Bowl rings.

The Steelers have a legacy already established, but that won't stop them from achieving even more.  If the team gains a victory today, this will be their record sixth Super Bowl title.  Coming into this monumental game, the Steelers are favored to win based on their season so far.

On the flip side, the Arizona Cardinals have emerged from the shadows of past team performances to be here today.  "Dynasty vs. Doormat," an article in today's Spokesman-Review by Barry Wilner, labels the Cardinals "a franchise that has defined dysfunction since the 1950s."

I just gotta ask.  Who are YOU rooting for?  Will you cheer on the favorable Steelers, or will you root for the Cardinal underdogs?

Only one team will steal the win to become numero uno 2009.

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
