If you had told 11-year old me…
In 2001, if you told me that I would get to see the Seahawks win not one, but TWO Super Bowls in the next 25 years, I would not have believed you.
Also, after the Mariners won 116 games and lost the ALCS, if you told me we’d have to wait 21 years to see them make the playoffs again, and 24 years to see them win the division again, I would not have believed you.
If you had told me that the summer I was going to graduate high school, the Sonics would be stolen from us, moved to Oklahoma??? and we would have to watch multiple MVPs play for that franchise while we continue to be without a team, I would not have believed you.
Moral of the story? When I was 11, the Seahawks were by far the team I was least confident in of my three die-hard fandoms. Now? Thank God for the Seahawks.
