Who should raise the 12th Man Flag? (Home Opener vs 49ers)

[CaptBennett]

Honestly I think Fred Couples should raise the 12th Man flag for this game. Would be fitting I think. Your opinions? Go Hawks! :49ersmall:

Boom Boom would be awesome. Shaun Alexander needs to do it sometime.

 

[Hasselbeck]

Alex Smith

Since we have amazing safeties and San Francisco doesn't, How about...

EUGENE ROBINSON

Alex Smith

Haha. Thats awesome

 

[12thMan1]

Alex Smith

Haha. Thats awesome

Why is that awesome? Is it just the irony or is there some actual joke I'm missing?

Jokes shouldnt need to be explained.

Mike Holmgren...Time to acknowledge the fantastic career of an all-time great

Call me crazy, but I'd like to see the three musketeers do it...Paul Allen, John Schneider and Pete Carroll. Without those three being on the same page and lending support to one another this team would not be what it is today. I include Mr. Allen here not only for being so amazing as to give control to the people that need it, but because without his love of sports and financial support the Seahawks wouldn't even be a Seattle staple.

They do when they make absolutely no sense outside the fact that he was a 49er and if that's the joke; pretty tasteless joke. I'm assuming the poster was generally interested in people's opinions on whom they genuinely believe could/should raise the 12th Man Flag. Alex Smith has never been involved with the Seahawks Organization, the Pacific Northwest Community nor has been an icon outside of the NFL and therefore has no reason to take part in that tradition.

 

[Jake Hawks]

Alex Smith is from Seattle

Alex Smith is from Seattle

Then I recant my previous statement.

 

[JSeahawks]

For that big of a game its got to be a Seahawk. I wouldnt want it to be golfer, basketball guy, celebrity, etc, etc.

My first choice would be either Alexander or maybe Holmgren.
