The Big 33/Super Bowl streak LIVES!
When the Denver Broncos and Seattle Seahawks face-off in Super Bowl XLVIII at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on February 2nd, the Big 33 Classic will be in lock-step with America's biggest football game for the 48th straight year. For those of you that aren't familiar with the streak - there's never been a Super Bowl played without a Big 33 alum on the field.
The Big 33 game is played annually in Hershey, Pennsylvania. Over the years, Pennsylvania all-stars have squared-off against all-star teams from Maryland, Ohio and Texas. On other occassions, Pennsylvania has faced
an all-USA team. Currently Pennsylvania is in a five-year deal playing
Maryland all-stars. The current series began in 2013, ending a 19 year
series between PA and Ohio.
