We had our photo op picked up our skittles and headed home to get ready for the big game.
We’ve got the 12th man drinks going and the 12th man chair all ready.
This is what we are eating during the commercials! Football is not our life but we are having fun today enjoying all the hype and cheering loud for our team.
Are you watching or are you happily avoiding the game?
Update: We are so glad that our Seahawks will bring their first Super Bowl trophy home!
That’s an adjective that would be pinned on me if I didn’t mention the Sunday that was in Seattle!
Everywhere you looked in the the Puget Sound area you would see evidence of the 12th man Seahawk fans.
The city willed the Seahawks to a torturous victory over the San Francisco Forty Niners on Sunday. That means that the Seattle Seahawks are the NFC Champions and will be going to the Super Bowl.
This is the building that Dear works in downtown. It’s the Russell Investment Center.
Looks like we won’t be able to ignore the Super Bowl game this year. There are many years that we do. This year we might even have to host a party.
The game and after game shows and all the news about all the excitement in Seattle ended just before Downton Abbey aired last night. The hilarious thing that happened next during the opening to Downton Abbey was that they photo shopped a 12th man flag on the top of Highclere Castle and gave a shout out to Seattle fans being loud, louder, loudest! How fun is that…
The city of Seattle and all the out lying areas really come together in support of their teams like the Seahawks, the Sounders, the former Sonics.
We will go with the flow and enjoy all the hoopla that having our home team in the Super Bowl brings. Do you watch the Super Bowl? I was happy that the episode of Downton last night wasn’t as dramatic as the previous one. I’m starting to write down some of the lines from the show, too, like “We don’t all have to live off battered fish and meat pies!”
