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

Comparing pro and college fan bases is apples and oranges, blue collar vs white collar. Even Duck fans aren't as bad as NFL fans and I've been in a bunch of NFL stadiums. And, yes, also been to Autzen. Of course serving liquor in pro stadiums only makes things worse at those venues.

Seahawks have always had a strong fan base, unlike Oregon. Besides, why should we care?
-
Another thing is both talk like they're 5 time national champs/superbowl champs when the reality is neither of them have accomplished anything.

If you call the season ticket waiting list going from 50k to zero in the mid 90's a strong fan base, then yeah. Back in 1999-2001 it was hard to give away a Seahawk ticket.DeepSeaZ said:Seahawks have always had a strong fan base, unlike Oregon. Besides, why should we care?

So much fucking truth. I've been saying this IRL for a couple weeks now. Classless assholes, who talk shit, pop-off and act like they've been there since the beginning.bananasnblondes said:Is that the 12s are the pro football version of the Oregon Duck fanbase.

Don't forget about priding themselves on being very loud at the stadium.

I haven't been to a Seahawk game since JLM was coach.

Hookin it up (LOL) this week and I have 0 shame. Mariners suck ass, no Sonics, UW bball sucks, UW football is at least ????
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've been saying that every since they changed their unis to the new duck-like ones with the stupid abstract wing pattern.

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.
