Here's a fun make-you-feel-old stat: Only nine current #Seahawks were alive the last time Seattle won a road playoff game (12/31/83).

 

[Zebulon Dak]

RW3 was -5.

 

[oldhawkfan]

How many around here were alive then or remember it. I was both.

 

[Zebulon Dak]

I was alive but I was only 5 and didn't know jack squat about football yet.

As was I.

I'll be 64 y/o later this month and have been a Hawks fan since December, 1980, when I moved out here from the Midwest to join Boeing.

I wasn't alive, but my dad had apparently just jammed my mom a couple months earlier.

 

[CodeWarrior]

Wasn't alive. Wasn't even a swimmer in my Dad's pouch yet.

 

[Hawksfan78]

Alive but dont remember it.

Nice.

 

[Blitzer88]

Thats kinda a sad fact actually............

I remember Reggie McKenzie saying to Lou Gellos on King 5 that the Seahawks were going to kick the Dolphins ass. Back then, that was a shocker on live TV. It was right after they had beaten the Broncos. Good times. I was 28 at the time and had lived here since late 1978 after finishing up my 4 yr tour with the Air Force.

Alive and remember watching the game. What an experience.

 

[Sarlacc83]

I was 3.5 months old.

Crap.

 

[Navyhawkfan187]

I turned 2 the previous October

 

[grizbob]

I was only half as old as I am now, do the math :mrgreen:

 

[Trenchbroom]

I was 10, wasn't a huge football fan at the time but I remember all of the talk on the local news. Very exciting times!

I was 12 years old and growing up in Connecticut at the time and the 1983 playoff run turned me into a rabid fan. Back in those days it was hard to follow your team in the eastern time zone. I would have to scoreboard watch and if late game finished before the the Seahawks game was over I would have to watch the ABC Sunday Night movie and try and catch Dick Schapp's sports minute to see if they won. Man times have changed!

 

[Fox0r]

I was born in May of 1985...so I was non-existent at that point.

 

[Jimmy]

I was 12, and that was one of the single greatest moments I can remember about the Hawks. I really thought this would happen every year!

When I was 12 the Seahawks were 12 years away from existence :roll:
