I have fireworks stashed from our 4th of July show ( big mortars). Lit one off Sunday, the remaining mortars are for the Hawks finally putting a Lombardi in the case. My parents, and two of my brothers will be over be over to watch the game. I plan on getting shitfaced when the hawks win. I will crawl in to work on Monday same as my crew will. I expect that we wont be the only people doing this and it will be understood.
What I will take ultimate pleasure in is my dad getting to see a Seattle team win a championship. He is the most negative passionate Seattle fan their is. He still watches all of the Mariners games. He loved the Sonics, always loved the Hawks but has been through more letdowns than any fan should. He always finds the negatives watching this version of Hawks and expects the worst. I feel bad about, but I scolded him twice during the NFCCG and he just sat their quite for the remainder of the game. I want to the Hawks to do it so that he can say he watched every minute of every game this team has played and felt like it was worth it. No letdown, no heartbreak just pure joy at the end and he got to watch a championship season for once. His time is limited in this world and I want him to know what it's like to trust something he cant control.
Along that same line, I have prodded my sons in to being Hawk fans. They will carry the torch forward.
