Seahawk Nation rocks the Coupeville Wharf. (Jenn Dohner photos)
12th Man fever spreads.
Is there a bigger Hawk fan than former Coupeville Liquor Store owner Pam Smith (in green gloves)? No. No, there is not.
Seattle Seahawk fans are a little worked up these days.
Give them one NFC West title and the National Football League’s best record, and all the die-hards in blue and green start screaming about their destiny and Super Bowl titles and whatnot.
As a lifelong Pittsburgh Steeler fan, it’s cute to see the Hawk fanatics get so worked up. Meanwhile, we’re over here polishing our record six Lombardi trophies (including one we “stole” from the Seahawks).
No, seriously … that’s all we’re doing, since the Steelers got off to a pathetic start and couldn’t quite ride a hot finish into the playoffs. And our quarterback is kind of a creep.
OK, maybe I will root for the Hawks this time around…
But I haven’t yet gotten to the level of commitment that the fans who stormed the Coupeville Wharf Sunday have. True believers, one and all, they have been in it for the whole ride.
