Seahawks/Huskies
Comments

The history of the game is that college football preceded pro and I think is still more ingrained and passionate but not by much any longer.

My NFL fandom is very similar. I actually like the Seahawks as a kid and followed them a little more than UW football. Started as a Niners fan when they won the first of the back to back Super Bowls but even then, I was a very casual fan.
I didn’t start to hate the Seahawks until 2007 when I moved back to Seattle and went to a couple games and saw how passive aggressive the fans are.
I haven’t watched a more than a half of an NFL game this year and never pay close attention to the NFL until December. -
Currently I'm a big Chiefs fan

I’m gonna guess 90% of Washington males over 60 years old are Niners, Raiders or Rams fans.
That’s who we got on TV during our formative years.
Same with baseball - either Giants or Dodgers. -
John Brodie and Darryl Lamonica

The last NFL team I kind of had a crush on was the late 90/early 00’s Raiders. It was even better when Nip and Tui joined.
It sounds like most of you feel the same way I do about the Hawks. I wouldn’t lose any sleep at night if they moved to Portland…lol
For those who love football whynotboth.gif I remember a fellow season ticket holder in the 90’s who would go to his local high school game Friday, Huskies on Saturday and Hawks on Sunday. Not bad!

It has always been about 50/50
I was more into the Seahawks in the late 80s, because back then, the Huskies were in Race's James must be fired/Freedom Bowl 6-4-1 type year quagmire, and IIRC you might be lucky to see six games on TV. You had to listen to Rondeau. My friend's dad was a UW prof and had season tickets to the '90 season and that got me rabid about the Dawgs. The Seahawks sold out every game, so you could watch all 16 games.
I've been to probably ten Seahawk games from 1985 against the Cheatriots until 2010, and I can confirm there is scary, drunken white trash. It seemed especially bad in the 2000s. I've always been to three Raider games and their fans are even worse.

Love my Hawks but it's a healthy relationship with boundaries and space. I don't need to know what she's doing at all times and I don't look at her phone when she's sleeping.
Can't say the same for my Dawgs. This relationship is dysfunctional and toxic with an ever-present fear of abandonment and rejection. Without her, I would die.
