Don't be surprised to hear a "Go Hawks" shouted in your general direction at the airport or casinos, or on the street. I'm always decked out in Hawks year when I go down there and the response 9 times out of 10 is positive.SoulfishHawk":2h68nzr9 said:I think it's hilarious the people can just assume someone is "bandwagon" because they wear Hawks gear :roll:
I'm heading out to Vegas this weekend, will be decked out as usual in my gear, but fully expect a few comments about the Hawks. Oh well, I'll just tell them what I always tell someone who tries to make that comment, I've been a fan since 76 son.
I live in Vegas, and if I see people wearing Hawks gear I definitely give a hardy, "Go Hawks!" I also get the bandwagon thing once in a while, but screw em. World Champs Bitches!
I also don't get why any 12 would give anyone else crap for becoming a Hawk Fan. Better late than never. I always tell my friends that there is still plenty of room on the wagon - just hop on.
I was at LAX on a layover coming back from Peurto Vallerta (Which is Hawks country to be sure. Theres a pizza/brewpub down there [Los Meurtos] that is run by 12s for 12s, watched the Niners away game there) and our waitress at Ford's Filling Station is a Pats fan. She asked "Are there a lot of bandwagon fans now?" And I'm like "I hope so, the more the better". She had a quizzical look on her face after that.
Its strikes me as odd that a Pats fan is worried about bandwagon fans as if that is the worst problem of being a Pats fan (I've never met a bandwagon Pats fan btw. Also, how can you even have bandwagon fans after a 10 year run of greatness? You either are or you arent) I hope we never get to the point where we look down on people who find inspiration in the Seahawks for whatever reason.
