Tomorrow is the day. Feels hard to believe. I'm 34 and I have watched this team since I was 5 years old. From Jon Kitna to Jim Mora to the Beastquake to Mike Mac, the Seahawks have tied me to the PNW in an inexplicably powerful way. I remember the sheer defeat of the 2005 Superbowl loss. I remember the anticipation of the 2012 and 13 seasons. I remember the elation and pride I felt during the defeat of Peyton Manning. But over the course of this last week, I've felt giddy in a way that I never have about this team.
Listen to the way Mike speaks. Listen to the way the players on this team are speaking about him. About each other. Listen to the way Grubb and Durde speak about the preperation. Listen to the way Geno, DK, J Love, Spoon and T Dot talk about this season. Hell, even T Dot mentioned expecations that he had to hold back from speaking into existence because he claimed no one would believe it. There's something going on. Something special. Special in a different way than the 2012-13 Hawks. There's real self-belief and belief in one another. There's a quiet confidence about this team and about their coach that is speaking volumes. This team is going to shock people.
Idk if it's this year, next, or soon but mark my words: this team is going to win a championship under Mike. He has the it factor. Every time he speaks, he eminates such a strong desire to win and such a determination to create his own culture, that you get the sense he wont be stopped. Even before playing a game, Mike Macdonald is one of my favorite Seattle sports coaching hires ever. Regardless of how this season goes, I'm getting that Christmas Eve feeling again for the first time in over a decade. I'm so ready for tomorrow and I think it's going to be deafening at Lumen in a way that it hasn't been in a very long time. This city is ready. There's an energy about this team right now. Go Hawks baby.
