Ok, I'm not proclaiming victory or anything, because none of us know for sure how it's gonna turn out, but...
Say we do it, and finally take the Lombardi... (and I'm leaning that way, of course)............
I was out and about in 1979 when this frickin' town lost its MIND for a measly NBA Championship. People were just butt-crazy! Back in the day (I was 19 years old at the time) I was cruizin' the Renton Loop and Alki, and I remember Alki beach was just PACKED with people partying their asses off! I'm talking THOUSANDS of people. It was a scene to behold, and I'll never forget it! Never seen anything like it before or after. Yeah, the '95 and 2001 M's, '96 Sonics and the 2005 'Hawks, but it just doesn't hold a candle to actually bringing home The Big Kahuna...
So now it's 2014, 35 years later. There are MANY more people living here now. The NFL Championship is FAR bigger than the NBA could ever think of being.
Just what exactly are we in for here (if we do it)? This place has no real benchmark for this kind of thing... I'm gonna just be up here in Arlington getting shitfaced knowing I'm calling in sick the next day, so I'll be insulated. But I imagine some of you younger guys on here are gonna wanna go hit the streets in Seattle to go insane... Yeah, I'm a little jealous...
The one thing I'm sure of... for me anyways, is taking time off work, if necessary, to go witness the parade down 4th Ave. Almost nothing could make me miss that!
Just curious if some of you guys have thought it through yet... about what you're gonna do... IF.... It happens...
