I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, just want to share: I'm kind of over the 9er hate. I'm over the constant bickering with 9er fans, and over the detailing of every little annoyance. The primary reason is that it gets hyper-repetitive real quick. There aren't many surprises left in the "your team/coach/QB sucks/is a douche/is cocky" back-and-forth.
I don't like the 9ers any more than I did yesterday, but the epiphany hit me this week that I'm not emotionally worked up about our opponent aside from the fact that they stand between us and the SB. I'm not saying I'll never comment on our teams' differences, or discuss the demerits of sideline tantrums, or laugh at the turtle/sneaker/car pics (because I will), but I am feeling refreshingly free of the bile and contempt. The teeth-gnashing is conspicuously absent.
My excitement for our boys, and their chance to embrace this opportunity for which they have prepared so dilligently, has eclipsed most of the venom. The inspiration I derive from our 'Hawks trumps the irritation from the 9ers.
That doesn't make me better, or worse, than anyone else. It's just how I feel and it's a new development, that's it. Carry on.
GO HAWKS!!!
