AND WE ARE READY!

4th year in a row!!

And we're excited!!

Last week I started a new situation operating the sound at a large sporting stadium nearby. Last week the attendance was 70,045, this past Saturday it was 74,927!!! (3rd largest attendance at this stadium ever!). It always impresses my how loud crowds of fanatical fans can get - WOW.

Here are some images to scope out ...

Some Seattle Seahawks football? Well today turned out to be a GREAT day - my tickets arrived!!!! And in quite the presentation ....

No the cell phone is not part of the package - it's for size reference ;-)

Are you ready for some football? Some playoff football?

We love it when the Arizona Cardinals roll into town ... that means Kurt Warner is here to get pounded - AND pounded is what the Hawks did yesterday. Final score - Seahawks WIN.... err I mean 21 - 10. So far, undefeated on the season.

This is only 3 of the 5 sacks ... Good seein' ya again Kurt!

No words can describe the disappointment. The Seahawks went to the Super Bowl, but you know what - 30 other teams did not. This is a great accomplishment!

Sadly, the worst part is the poor officiating that we witnessed, made even worse by it becoming a national topic (see the extended entry). All and all - I am damn proud of MY Seattle Seahawks, and I will continue to support them. Next year - Miami, Super Bowl XLI, Hawks WIN!

GO HAWKS!

Twas the night before the Super Bowl XL and all through Seattle Not a creature was stirring, cause we were thinking ‘bout touchdowns.

The stores were all quiet and we had our plans made tonight before falling asleep, Seahawks fans will have prayed.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds While visions of touchdowns danced in their heads.

Mamma in the kitchen and Dad in his chair Were all excited as they started to prepare.

When on the news they watched with a grin as newscasters predicted just who would win.

Away to their bedroom they start to go they can’t wait till Sunday when it’s time for the show.

The Seahawks meet curfew and try to fall asleep Nothing seems to work, not even counting sheep.

When what to everyone’s wondering minds should appear but a “preview” of the Super Bowl that is crystal clear!

With quarterback Matt so lively and quick you could see in a moment that he was very slick.

More rapid than eagles his offensive team came and he called out his plays and we started the game.

Now Alexander! Now Bobby! Now Morris and Jackson on Warrick! On Strong! On Stevens and Mili!

To the top of the first quarter and to the top of the next now catch that ball…catch that ball and keep them perplexed.

As in so many games we have watched all year long so we had to endure plays that seemed to go wrong.

And then in a twinkling we heard the ref’s call and suddenly on the field there started a brawl!

A face masked was grabbed and a rough late hit so now we had to find a play where we could outwit.

He was dressed in his colors and wore number 37 and what the fans witnessed then had them all transfixed.

A huddle of Seahawks gathered ‘round Matt and all the fans said a prayer that ended with Amen.

Shaun’s eyes how they twinkled, his muscles how large He had them believing that he was taking charge.

His great big smile was gleaming white and the Steelers all grew very uptight.

His mouthpiece he held tight in his teeth and the fans waved their #12 towels around like a wreath.

He had a plan and he was ready to go Matt dropped back and was ready to throw.

They were tackling and blocking this fine football team and our “preview” revealed a score supreme!

With a surprise play that had Pittsburgh confused we pulled off a touchdown that made them lose.

The Steelers spoke not a word but went straight to their Match and all of their mouths were seen tightly clenched.

The Seahawks stood raising their arms up high we feel they were giving praise to God and to you and I.

Our “preview” of the Super Bowl made us whistle and it soon will really be over as fast as a missile.

But I heard if you sleep well on Super Bowl Eve You’ll have no fears at all and we won’t have to grieve.

GO HAWKS!
