Yell or else, Seahawks fans
Last year, I attended the Seahawks-Cowboys playoff game at Qwest, and I noticed quite a few Hawks "fans" around me who weren't doing their part and yelling their lungs out. They just stood there, sipping their beer, clapping every so often. I was polite about it then, but not this time. If you end up sitting near me at tomorrow's game (I scored tickets!) and you're not yelling (at least during the important plays), I will tell you to GO HOME AND WATCH IT ON TV. And I won't be Seattle polite about it. The louder we are, the more likely we are to win. Go Hawks!

You will most likely end up with beer all over your clothes and a black eye on a yo' face...if you follow through with your master plan

...and this is exactly why I have only ever been to one professional football game and won't bother going back.

I think Jason should follow Winston's lead.

HA
Bergman's gravy-spitting, tobaccy-chawin redneckery is exactly why I won't go to Hawks games anymore.
If they need a crowd of inbreds to scream in order to win a game
they've already lost.

Well, I am sorry some of you posters have had bad experiences at games with the redneck type! It's true there are some of them out there...but don't make such a generalizaton across the whole fanbase. I go to games with about 9 other friends and we tailgate before the games, then we go into the stadium and cheer on our team. This doesn't make me a redneck. Nor am I an inbred. Like I said sorry you have had bad experiences in the past but mabey it is time to give it another shot. You might sit next to people looking for the same thing you are...a good day at the stadium and a Seahawks victory!

My guess is those of you who whine and jump ship are probably DAWG fans as well...fickle group of haters....
GO HAWKS...been cheering since I was seven years old and 30 years later I will cheer from my couch at Ft. Bragg, NC for my team....whiners stay home and pout - you are not the 12th man.
How Bout Them HAWKS!
PS - while I am at....GO COUGS!!

well I haven't been to a sehawks game before anyways but if I did go to a hawks game I'd probably be sreaming and yelling too. I mean come on people that's what going to any sporting event is all about. CHEERING for your team. letting them know they've got fans behind them.

There is a difference between cheering for the team, "making noise" and "being a drunk, foul-mouthed ass who stopped maturing in the 8th grade".
