What is the Blue 32?  They are 32 rules that will help you succeed in my classroom...and in life.

Why Blue 32?  Well, blue is my favorite color and...keep up with me here...there are 32 of them!

I picked 32 because some of the greatest athletes from different sports wore the #32.  My favorite will always be Pittsburgh Steelers' running back Franco Harris.  Besides being Rookie of the Year in 1972 (the year I was born), Franco caught one of the most famous catches in the history of the NFL: The Immaculate Reception.  That catch led the Steelers to their first playoff game in 25 years - they had only been to the playoffs one other time before that - and opened the door to four Super Bowl Championships in a six-year period.   (Still the only team to win back-to-back Super Bowls twice.)
