As an NC State fan, I started paying attention to Mr. Wilson when he announced his commitment to NC State. Cheered him from then on through his years there. When he went to Wisconsin, they became another team to look out for on TV (too much fun watching him play). It was funny reading their boards before he began, as they argued over his impact and value (much like on here). The State fans just told them to wait and see. Finally with his being drafted by Seattle, I now have another NFL team to pull for (did pretty much the same with the Chargers when Rivers went there).
Have always enjoyed the NW, as I've vistited several times with family that lived there. Particularly enjoyed hiking the Olympic Peninsula. Always said of all the large metropolitan areas in the US, Seattle was one of the few I would choose to live in.
