milovany Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 The Superbowl party we go to every year will be a good one this year with our team in it! Go Hawks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TraciWA Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Yeah! That was a real nail biter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I could not care less about football, but I was really afraid the entire city of Seattle would blow up, no matter whether they won or lost. People here have been crazy all week! I even saw a woman who had a pair of heel painted in Seahawk colors with the Hawks logo on them. WHAT? Why would you do that to a pair of beautiful shoes? :scared: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am afraid to leave my house! I swear every person at every store, restaurant, gas station, public office (I went to the DMV the other day), etc. is full of nothing but Hawks jerseys. It's weird.

Why would you do that to a pair of beautiful shoes? :scared: better shoes than the guy who got a tatoo. dh and I were reminising about the denver game in the preseason. with defense like that (and special teams) - who needed offense. they ran an interception from denver's endzone back for a touchdown. and another for 90+ yards. and that only accounted for 14 points. that game was not a nail biter. if you bring in your ticket - jack in the box will give you a free whatever their burger is if they sack the opposing quarterback three times. my boys really enjoyed their hamburgers. eta: I went to an adult party at church on friday night. it's their "christmas" party held in january when people aren't as busy. (it's also a not to be missed becasue it's such fun.) instead of christmas decorations, it was football paraphenalia dangling from the ceiling. only two jerseys.

I swear I feel like I'm in a sea of hawks colors. See what I did there? Sea of Hawks colors? Man, I amuse myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LucyStoner Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think I live in a different Seattle. Aside from a few displays at the grocery store and the cover of the Times, I haven't seen much. My son has a two blues and green coat and someone asked him if it was for the Seahawks and he was totally puzzled as to what that was.

I had to have a friend explain the whole twelfth man thing to me. I was completely clueless. We live just north of Olympia, and let me assure you, people here are Hawks mad. I had to go pick Indy up from a scout camping trip this morning, and there were people on the northbound 5 whose cars were covered in flags, banners and ribbons (in blue and green, of course), and they were waving to people and holding up the #1 on their fingers and dancing in the cars. It's wacky! I want to come live near you. These people are nuts. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It failed in Seattle 2 years prior. While I know there are lots of fans in Seattle and obviously more fair weather fans to boot, the core of their fan base is from outside of the city. My older brother works the games and people drive from all over the state. Whereas the Sounders fans tend to be more based in Seattle/King County. I've been to exactly 1 Seahawks game ever. It was 16 years ago and I went on a date. Shortly thereafter, I started dating my husband who likes sports way less than me and pays even less attention to football than I do. It's safe to say that he's never been to a football game or even watched one on TV. He humors me and comes along to a couple of Mariners and Storm games a year and a few times a season he comes with me to see the Rat City Roller Girls but that is his sports limit.

I could see the 12th man flag atop the space needle prior to LAST week's game. it was down afterwards. i don't know if it's back up, because it's been so foggy/smoggy I can see much.

We found it amusing that the two states represented in this year's Superbowl are the two states where pot is legal... can only imagine some of the parties that are going to happen!

You don't even want to get me started in this topic. I was pissed about that state deal. I think that teams should pay for their own infrastructure. Though to be fair, the kingdome fixes weren't luxury ones. More of the "lets make sure these roof tiles don't kill anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
