This should be in the OT section, but I'm too happy to care right now. My childhood brother, Makena, phoned me up and offered me a ticket to the Sunday game! Just got clearance from my lovely wife, I'm going! More on that in a minute.
I try to make one game per year, couldn't last year due to finances...games are flipping expensive as you all know (travel/food/beer/etc). Didn't think I could make one this year either, yet my closest friend steps up and offers me a ticket to most likely the most important game of the year. Prime Time evening football vs. our new division rivals!
Mak, you're not just my friend, you are my brother and have been ever since we met "across the alley" when we were 3 years old. Your Dad (life long fan) took me/us to my first Seahawks game at the age of 7. Now here we are, decades later doing the exact same thing...and it's just as exciting as the first game.
Sorry for the sappy love note Shackers...but please know this. Mak and I have a perfect record when we attend games together. 14-0 I belive? So let this be a win, it's bound to be.
Back to my wife, her favorite player is Fitz. Yes, lame. Her only stipulation is that I have to yell "I LOVE YOU FITZY" during the game. I don't want to end up in an alley soaking in beer and blood, but have to honor her wish. Maybe yell it when Sherman snags the ball and takes it back for 6?
Anyway, love you Mak...can't wait!!! Go Hawks!!!
