I am not a football fanatic who can watch game after game no matter who is playing. I have heard said, women often become attached to a team by a human interest angle centered around a player. That is certainly how it worked for me, as I have tended to not getting involved in watching a game, unless of course a team
or players that captured my heart is playing.
The Seahawks have always been one of those teams. Steve Largent, a great receiver for the Seahawks, sparked my interest in the team as a great player and father (of a child with a disability), as he supported disability causes that were close to his heart. From those early days on, Seattle has been my team.
The weeks leading up to this years Super Bowl have ignited a frenzy of fan support that can be seen all over Washington, and indeed the US.

The Empire State Building has turned Blue and Green.
Not only are Seahawk fans seen everywhere, they cause the earth to move.
Seismologists say Seahawks fans shook the ground under Seattle's CenturyLink Field during the January 14,2013 New Orleans Saints playoff game causing another fan-generated earthquake.
Boeing is flying the Seahawks colors high over Washington.
The Boeing painted a 747 freighter with the team logo and the Number 12 on the tail to salute the fans. The plane rolled out of a hangar Wednesday at Paine Field in Everett. It flew to Boeing Field in Seattle on Thursday for a brief stop and then took off to fly a 12 pattern over Eastern Washington.
Seahawk fans in Spokane filled the local baseball stadium today to support their team. A helicopter overhead snapped the picture.
My nephews wife and family are die hard fans and were present for the above 12th man photo
Cousins in our family got together for a little pre-game warm-up for the littlest fans.
More pics of this family event are at this link by the photographer in the family Crystal. http://www.crystalmadsen.com/seahawks-vs-broncos-manning-vs-wilson-cousins-vs-cousins/

I am not a fan of foot ball unless I am right there. TV games to me are not real. Just another one of my cracks I guess lol. But the Empire building sure looks cool.
ReplyDeleteToday my other no fans will go out to lunch and then back to my house for a non foot ball GTG. The TV will be on but no sound just to see the commercials something usually found to be annoying when watching regular TV. Have a wonderful day!
Congratulations to your Seahawks!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your posts and viewing your beautiful pictures!
Seems like you are planning a trip to Utah. Wish I could give you personal suggestions. I saw some national and state parks (especially in the West, Utah and NM) listed on The Guardian.com. The author writes and lives in her camper. The site says it uses "cookies" so I did not send a link. I'm sure you can find Internet info. Enjoy (and share) your journeys!
