Greetings everyone!

I'm a long time lurker. I mean like, LONG time. Like...been lurking since 2003. I finally worked up the courage to post! This must be what those tribes in the rain forests feel like when they finally decide to make contact with civilization. Anyway, I'm from armpit of the USA, Pennsylvania - the northeast part, which is mainly Steeler-country. :pukeface:

I've been a Seahawks fan almost since I started watching football as a little kid, and my passion for the Hawks is very well known amongst my friends and family. It was really tough back when I was a kid in the 80s because they never showed Seahawks games unless they were playing the Steelers, Eagles, or Giants. So I missed out on a lot of stuff. But I remember they televised Steve Largent's final game. He was my favorite player growing up.

Throughout college in the late 90s/early 2000s, I used to listen to the games on Internet radio, and if that wasn't available, I'd resort to watching those GameCenters on Yahoo where it just describes the the plays as they happen and has a graphic where the ball is.

After I graduated I got DirecTV Sunday Ticket, so now I get to see the Hawks play every game. All my friends and family know not to bother me on Sundays. I wish I had this when I was a kid.

So, that's a brief introduction. It's funny because, I'm the new guy, but.....since I've been lurking for so long, I feel like I already know a lot of you already! :lol: Looking forward to good football discussions!

Go Hawks!

p.s. Thought I'd also share the cake my girlfriend made for me for my birthday last month.

Great bio. From one noob to another, welcome! I am a life-long fan and former lurker as well, with somewhat of an aversion to social media in general, but the dawn of our Golden Age has forced me out of hermit-dome.

Welcome!

Always great to see lurkers finally sign up and add to the discussion.

I've been through Scranton many, many times, although I'm surprised to hear that it isn't Eagles country up there.

Greetz and welcome! Fairly new myself (less than a year old....). Long time fan as well.

I have a feeling in my gut that we're about to see a team become something really great. Hold on for the ride!

As a lurker you already know this is the place for all things hawk. I'm really just a reader myself. Might post a few a season, but love all the interaction on this site.

Cool man. Great to have some fans in NEPA. I'm from Berwick. We have a good group of old timers (40ish) here who are diehards. Bunch of us made the Super Bowl trip last year. Being a fan here in in hostile territory makes it all that much sweeter!
