Something Doogs/12s don't want to admit

Is that the 12s are the pro football version of the Oregon Duck fanbase.
A group of previously uninterested people who have latched onto a football team because they have started winning and identify themselves as "part of the team".
A group of people who care more about making a fashion statement wearing multiple color variations of their teams clothing than what happens on the field. A group of people who, from my experience, mostly come from lower class backgrounds and equate the Seahawks winning to them being winners in life.
An obnoxious group of people who are mostly unacustomed to the ups and downs of sports and will not know how to react if the Seahawks lose the Super Bowl (similar to the people who cry their eyes out every year when the Ducks run into Stanford).
One final point for context is that there is a huge difference between "Seahawks Fans" and the group of idiots who call themselves the "12s" just as there is a huge difference between "Oregon Ducks fans" and the people from Puyallup who dress their kids up in matching pink, green, and black Ducks uniforms when they go to the South Hill Mall

This is a horrible sports city for about as long as it has been around, games like this only come once in awhile, going to have a little fun before going back to all Sven mode and just shitting on everything while lighting it on fire.
I walked up to the box office the day of the game and bought two tickets on the 50 yard line 1st level ...
Sean Alexander scored 5 touchdowns in one half against the Minnesota Vikings.
There was so much purple in the stadium you would think the Huskies were playing.

Now with that said. I really don't care about the NFL since I went to college.
But I am Hookin it up here ... I fucking lived and supported the Seachickens through Behring, Flores, McGwire, Mirer, and all the other fucked up things this franchise has put their fan base through.
If I want to ride the bandwagon ... fuck you I will.
The funny part is that Oregon fans (on educe) don't want to admit they have dumb bandwagon fans.
I once pointed out that I talked to an "Oregon Fan" and asked him why he was a fan. He replied, because they change their uniforms for each game. I would assume that this person is also a Elton John fan.
Abundance.
When I went to a Portland St football game, you could buy a beer. Of course with only 2000 people in the stadium it makes no difference....
Did you throw down?
