kkktookmybabyaway 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Another thing that'll surely be included in the time leading up to this game, a copious amount of lame "Super Bowl Xtra Large" jokes. I was too young at the time, but what was it like for SB XXX? Pull up a chair, sonny. For the first quarter-and-a-half the Cowboys had their way with the Steelers, mostly because Shittsburgh had a case of the nerves. However, after scoring a TD late in the first half, the Steelers seemed to start playing the way they were supposed to play. In that second half they really got it together, except for those two INTs, which were a shame really because I always liked O'Donnell and I will defend him to this day because if it wasn't for him there's no way the Steelers would have made it to the Super Bowl, in my opinion. For me the best moment came in the second half when Rod Woodson, after breaking up an Irvin reception, faced him and pointed to his knee. Woodson tore his ACL in the first week of the season and made it back in time for the Super Bowl. Irvin, during the week leading up to the game, was talking shit about how he was going to burn Woodson, which he didn't. It would have been nice for the Steelers to win and put a black mark on the Cowboys of the '90s, but they dug themselves a hole and couldn't really get out of it, despite having some chances to. The Steelers typically do that, and against lesser teams they manage to eek out a win. However, against a good team like Dallas you can't do that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 I still can't believe they let Kitna get up on them 14-0. God, I wish Palmer hadn't been injured. Of course, since halftime of the Bengals/Steelers game, the Steelers have been playing like a team possessed. I have a 'Governor's bet' going with my friend from Pittsburgh. If the Steelers win, I buy him something that's local. Some salmon, some coffee beans, something like that. If the 'Hawks win, he's going to buy me something from Pittsburgh. Him: like some Heinz products from the factory, or something. Me: .... You're going to buy me ketchup? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now we don't need to listen to your sterling commentary during the game in which you could possibly become a Seahawks fan if they are winning in the hopes it will jinx them.

So has anyone here been to Phog Allen Fieldhouse? I mean it's historic and a game there is supposed to be an experience....but missing the Super Bowl? Since I'll be on the road at the time of kick-off and when the game ends I plan on taping it and avoiding all results and then watching it as soon as I get home.

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Texas A&M taking Seattle to court over use of "12th man" What's the big deal? After sunday, this won't be an issue anymore. RTFA. This isn't a new issue - A&M has asked Seattle to cease and desist all use of the "12th man" moniker twice now: The school sent letters to the Seahawks in 2004 and 2005, asking the team to stop its use of the "12th Man" slogan, Moore said, but the team never responded. A Seahawks' spokesman, who refused to be identified, declined comment Monday night. A&M has twice registered trademarks for "The 12th Man" label _ in 1990 and 1996 -- that include entertainment services, "namely organizing and conducting intercollegiate sporting events," and products, such as caps, T-shirts, novelty buttons and jewelry.

Special K 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Apparently the gimmick extends as far as the banner, and a flag on the space needle. No one has any evidence that the team is making 12th-man merchandise. Although Seahawks jerseys wih #12 sell exceptionally well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Once again, from the article: Now the team plays at Qwest Field and its playoff run has rekindled the "12th Man" symbol and brought it into the national spotlight. A banner with the number 12 on it hung from the team's hotel in Dearborn, Mich., on Monday. A No. 12 flag now waves atop the city's signature Space Needle and the slogan, in some form, appears on team merchandise, including jerseys and computer desktop wallpaper. In Olympia, Wash., Gov. Chris Gregoire hoisted a "12th Man" flag at the state Capitol on Monday, and proclaimed this coming weekend as "Seattle Seahawks Super Weekend." Their timing is lame, but they have a credible argument, especially given that they've actually trademarked the slogan twice before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted February 2, 2006 Joey Porter's response to Jerramy Stevens in which he said, "Who is he?" pretty much embodies the way that the whole nation feels about the Seahawks.

We haven't had an overtime Super Bowl or a shutout in years, if ever Nope, not one OT or shutout in SB history. The lowest scoring effort in SB history belongs to Miami, whom scored 3 against the Cowboys @ SBVI. In the history of the superbowl, there's only been 8 games where a team scored only single digits, and not yet has there been a game where both teams scored single digits. Pittsburgh, with 5 SB stints have scored an average of 24 pts, Seattle hasn't been in the sb prior to this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
