Just got back from the vmac

[Seeker]

haven't seen the city this turned up since the sonics stood up to the 96 bulls.
lots of fans waiting in the cold to surprise the seahawks. you could tell it really lifted their spirits after such a hard game.
richard sherman worked the crowd so hard that it got a sherman chant from the crowd
russell okung was a class act and nearly reduced some young 12 year old to tears by coming out of his car to shake everyones hands (he literally walked the whole line and shooks hands on both sides.
that kid will never forget that moment. jumping up and down screaming to his mom like she didn't know what just happened "that was russell okung mom!!! that was russell okung!!!".

shook hands with tate (who also came out to shake hands with all the people, some girl nearly fainted showing that she got the picture with him on her phone).

some hawks even parked their cars just to sign autographs. really beautiful sight.

can't wait till next year.

Damn I am here in Renton too but I hate the cold so much. Props to the 12th Man brave enough to stand in the freezing outdoors to welcome back our team. I love Sherm.

Awesome!! Reminds me of Sharks story of how he went to SeaTac after the 83 game. Gives me chills! Wish I could have taken my kids (if I lived in Sea)

Fixed!

That is incredible! Not even the 05 season had this magic feel to it. Even after a playoff loss they are treated like rock stars. Just awesome. And wow, way to represent 12's!

I think it's safe to say we all intuitively know that this is just the beginning.

We've got a great bunch of football players.

We've also got a great bunch of young men. (and a few knuckleheads i'm sure... but not many!)

Very proud to be a Seahawks fan.

I am so mad at myself I didn't go today. Props to those who did show up and representing the 12th man.

I wanted to go, but I'm not sober enough to drive.

Russell Wilson said it was an amazing feeling to come home to the 12s, and that he loves this team and this city.

Lets hope they all remember this come contract time. In all seriousness, these are great times for us and the org. I am certain shedding our image of "being soft" will pique the interest of a prized FA or two. Thgese aren't the Behring years, that's for damn sure. Thank you again Mr. Allen.

Very cool to see. I wanted to go to but couldn't. Glad to see the 12s that got it covered for those of us that couldn't make it. So very happy and sad at the same time. What a day.
