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

[Shadowhawk]

Save Mike Holmgren for our next NFC Championship game.

Why not Steve Raible? He's been a part of this team, either as a player or radio broadcaster, for pretty much its entire existence.

 

[WestcoastSteve]

Chris Hansen

This, I'd save Holmgren for a playoff game. But that's just me.

Call me crazy, but I'd like to see the three musketeers do it...Paul Allen, John Schneider and Pete Carroll.

I think it would be lame for the current head coach to do it.

 

[LoneHawkFan]

Has Chuck Knox raised the flag? I'm not really familiar with who has or hasn't. He was the first coach to put us in the hunt; I grew up with those teams.

 

[DJ_CJ]

Griffey Jr.

 

[MissoulaHawkFan]

Russell's wife, Ashton. Usher in the new era - so to speak. Send the message to San Fran that last years beat-down in the Clink wasn't just a one-off... :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall: :49ersmall:

Ashton is pretty and I'm sure she's well liked by the fanbase, so I am down with that.

 

[Hawken-Dazs]

Lenny Wilkens

 

[Subzero717]

Hall of Famer Gary Payton.

 

[cacksman]

Like has already been stated, Holmgren is probably waiting for the next NFC Championship.

Chris Hansen is the obvious choice if he were actually willing. The place would go even more nuts.

I think Macklemore would be good but I've also been a fan of his for years.

 

[WestcoastSteve]

Griffey Jr.

He's already done it, here's the list of 12th man raisers.

[WestcoastSteve]

Hall of Famer Gary Payton.

Payton did it in 2008, Springs did it last season.

After looking through the list provided above, it looks like there is really one glaring omission, sans Mike Holgren, that every Seahawk fan would celebrate...and to me that person is Lou Piniella.

Lou please. How many guys have you been that emotional about upon leaving our community? I can't name 5 people that have poured their souls out to this city quite like Lou did- at least none that also achieved that certain level of greatness.

Lou Piniella.

 

[SeatownJay]

Now that he's retired, how about Steve Hutchinson?

 

[JSeahawks]

Bruce Irvin has nothing better to do that day.

Personally I think about 50% of the crowd wouldn't give a crap about Hansen. Which is pretty much true for all the flag raisers who are not directly Seahawk related.

Disagree. Hansen would get a roaring applause.

Oops.

Well they ALL get a roaring applause. Because they're raising the flag. Even the losers like Trent Dilfer get a roaring applause.

I'm not sure you fully appreciate how loved that man is in Seattle right now.
