    When I was a little kid, I loved the Seahawks, but then Ken Behring tried to move them to Cali in 89, so I realized it was just a company. After that, I stopped watching them for 20+ years, not even watching their Superbowl games.

    I noticed that my dad was always more emotionally invested in the UW games. he'd tear up when the Huskies won big games. I've been watching UW since the mid-80s. Everyone in my family went to UW, so we all watch a lot of Husky football. I met Napolean Kaufman at a frat party once, he looked relatively small in person. I met a bunch of 90s players while at UW.

    I've gotten back into the Seahawks in the last 5 years though. I live in Vegas and Seattle - back and forth, so I'll probably start watching Raider games in the future. I think I could be a GM for a pro team. Since I watch a lot of college football, I can tell exactly which college players would fit perfectly for the Seahawks or who will have great NFL careers. For example, Jaxon Dart would be a great, "budget" QB for the Seahawks, though he's presently, very immature - he'll go mid to late 3rd round.

    UW football is always #1 for me though. I would probably never or rarely ever get a Seahawks game ticket. I would watch most Husky games in person if I could. I am one of the loudest fans in Husky Stadium when I do go. I bark very loud.

    UW…There’s an NFL team in Seattle now?

    I don't like the attention the Seahawks take away from my Dwags. On to hour 2 of sport talk radio talking about Geno being the guy or not.

    I was born in the 80s, I’ve always rooted for both teams. I’d say I’m more invested in UW overall tho. Beating Oregon for the Pac12 forever championship > the Hawks winning the Super Bowl.

    I think it was 1997 when the Seahawks were playing in Husky Stadium. I went to a Seahawks game there and immediately noticed how different the crowd was. Very blue collar

    my second wife (Diehard Seahawk fan) and I had a fight over football tickets, I told her OK I will get season tickets.

    So I got Husky season tickets.

    I watch the last 10 minutes of a Seahawk game if I remember, and if it is close, so not often
