Tusk, Cherelann, and NUG, I thought of all of you yesterday as the Niners/Hawks game was going down.
Back in the Bill Walsh/Joe Montana days, my bf du jour (it was actually longer than a day) was from the Bay Area, and I became quite a Niner fan. (Truth be told, I wasn't even aware that Seattle had a football team

-- I'm not really sports fan.) But that was many years ago.
FF to now and I've been so impressed with the way Russel Wilson has approached his opportunity and the way that he conducts himself. He's had some rough times this year and yesterday was no exception, but whether through force of will or "miracle" (and I'm not one to buy into that), or taking advantage of an opportunity, the Hawks pulled through yesterday, and I'm so happy for and proud of them and their fans -- Sherman's chat with EA and the Hawks fans' reaction to a Niner injury, notwithstanding.
And, NUG, I couldn't be happier that the Hawks are playing the Broncos! Although, does that make us enemies now?
Since I've already confessed my sports ignorance, when was the last time that both teams playing the Super Bowl were from west of the Mississippi?
