Old enough to know better.

I remember Ken Behring and 1992. These are the best days in Seahawks history. So just be excited that you are alive to see it.

Me = 72 , My older brother said that his Doc told him that he had the heart of a 21 year old (not to be outdone), I said to him "my Doc told me that I had the mind of a 2 year old".
Been a Seahawks fan since day one.
My Family Lived in South Seattle 67 years ago, not all that far from the C-LINK.

Everyone else?

This cracked me up. "I'm almost 36" getting in that extra bit of age. Trust me young man, when you get my age (61), you'll be busy thinking about how you can cheat age, and death.

Remember when we were little? "I'm 6 and a 1/2" That "1/2" was so important.

I think I've got a good chance to stick around for awhile, unless these opioids kill me. When I switch from my Road Glide to a Trike, I'll know the end is nigh. But, I should live in to my 90s. I'll have enough metal by then to qualify for "Terminator" status.

Born to be a Seahawks fan!...I was Established in 1976! Lol .Also born on the same month Hawks played the first regular season game! Of course I don't remember any of it.

47.
My first favorite memory was attending a MNF game at the 'Dome against Oakland, in '84. We were 12-4 that season and beat them 2X, once in the playoffs. We were seated in the 300's (like 314 maybe?) and there was a chant circulating around "California oranges, Texas cactus, we played this team just for practice". I was 12; it was surreal. We'd made it to the AFCCG the year before and the electricity was amazing in '84...but this time we lost to Miami.

I was standing between Lou Gellos and both Steve Largent and Dave Krieg after the game during Lou's interview. I'll never forget it as long as I live.

Lol! That is true! When you said about "6 and a half" i was like that is so true. That half was so big! . Yea even at 35(36 in july) My body is different then when i was 25. I can imagine when im older but you all are the Vets. I hope you stick around for a long time.

Born the year The Exorcist was released.

Grandparents lived in Seattle, Mom attended UW. I spent half of all my pre-pubescent summers in Seattle. Saw Reggie Jackson blast a home run in the Kingdome.

Been a Seahawks fan since Dave Krieg's rookie year, my grandfather introduced me to them (the year I discovered football), been in love with this team ever since.

I just turned 42. I grew up in Alaska where many people adopt the Seahawks as their home team. My big brother was one of those and has always been a die hard fan so he rubbed off on me. I moved to Olympia in 2005 and being a fan is contagious when you’re right there! I bought my first Seahawks gear and after that I was hooked! Finally saw a game at Century Link in October 2012 (against the Pats!) and have bled blue and green since. I moved to KC in 2015 and saw the Hawks play the Chiefs in their preseason game at Arrowhead. KC is an interesting place to live when you’re not a Chiefs fan but I am loyal girl and get a lot of funny looks in my blue and green!

Mentally forever 25.

Born in '69. Always been a die-hard football fan. Born and raised in Iowa, land of no pro teams and had a soft spot in my heart for them even back then. Moved to Seattle in '92, got season tickets when they played in Husky Stadium, had tix at the Clink until 2009 after the market crashed and I had to get rid of my tickets. Ah, so many memories. Now that I live in Ellensburg I don't get to many games, but watch them all for sure.

53 in July. Been a diehard since 1977.

I remember the "Purple People Eaters"
I know who "The Snake" is.
I watched "The Emasculate Reception".
I remember "The Three Amigos".
I remember "The No-name Defense".
I remember "The Ain'ts".

Nice to see another Kansan around here!

In dog years I'm dead.

Old enough to remember the Largent & Krieg days, but not quite old enough to remember the Largent & Zorn days.

Hmmm, been feeling old lately, but you all are ameliorating that somewhat. Pretty educated board, so I guess I should have figured the average age would be older than the reddit boards.

I have three days left of being the Shaun Alexander age (37).

I've been a Seahawks fan since the mid-90s. Was actually a huge Dolphins fans as a kid, but despite growing up mostly in Michigan, Ohio State football has always been my first love. It was what me and my dad (who died on Easter sunday from the coronavirus ) bonded over most. He had connections with the team and introduced me to Joey Galloway, and I followed him to the Seahawks when he got drafted. Despite the contract holdout (which I'm much more understanding of than I was at the time), I was hooked on the Hawks by then and wasn't interested in following him to the Cowboys, which coincidentally, was the team my dad grew up rooting for.

I’m very sorry for your loss. I enjoy reading everyone’s back story. I’m sure Ohio state football will be extra special now.

I shant divulge my age, but just know that I was a Bus Boy at the Last Supper...!
I followed Pete here from USC....

Oh my God!, Senility is so devastating

This many years old

just celebrated 61..
Junior in High school when the team came to me and life.
Much more opinionated when I was younger. (60)
Always watching, very seldom post. Again because I WAS very opinionated.

Love this team, thru the years has been a place I could get lost in (good or BAD)

Nice! “The enforcer”, one of my favorite all-time Hawks.

47. Hawk fan since '83. GO HAWKS!

Old enough to be still posting on a PHP board using an actual computer.

Old enough to have seen a preseason game at Joe Albi stadium in Spokane the very first season and remember it.

42. Been a fan since 1984. I was a Dolphins fan, but I got pissed when they lost that Super Bowl so I jumped ship to the Hawks because I liked their helmets. The Dolphins beat the Hawks that year in the playoffs, so you could say I'm a reverse bandwagoner.

High school when the Seahawks started out.

I just hit the big 50

I was 25 when the Hawks entered the league.

Am 50 years old. Dad got season tickets for Seahawks in 1976 and went to all home games in Kingdome up thru Highschool graduation. Great memories watching Zorn, Largent, Jacob Green, Kenny Easily, Kreig and others. Loved it whenever Hawks beat Stabler, Fouts, or Elway.

i am 24 from Greece

66 Years old, was a diehard Rams fan until I found the AFL. That is the American Football League for you whippersnappers. My first experience with NFL in person was when the Jets played the Steelers at Husky Stadium in the early 70's. I saw Namath, Bradshaw and Mean Joe Green live on the same day. I haven't missed a Hawk game in my life, and if I missed a single play, I don't remember it....lol

I hope they have a season this year. If they don't, it will be the end of the NFL as we know it. That may be good or bad, but it is not going to be the same game, or pricing structure. Without fans in the stands, the game will not be the same. I can't imagine a broadcast with the only noise being the blowhard announcers and QB's barking signals.

Born in 1977 and graduated in 96 from Richland High school, home of the bombers. One of the few from the east side of the sate on here apparently. 42 years old.

Eastern WA for the win, mate! Here, too.

55. Been on here when it was the old board. I used to post more under my old handle 49thhawk. Just a lurker now.

Followed the team from day one but attended my first Hawks game in 1979. I hated the hiring of Pete but he quickly won me over. Best coach we've ever had. He's no God and has definitely made mistakes but I will always appreciate him and the teams he's assembled.

I was born the year Paranoid and Cosmo’s Factory came out. I don’t like my age, because I hate the number. I decided to have 48 for two years until I get to 50. And just don’t know why I fell in love with this team in the early 80’s, but here I am. Almost never post anything, but I like this threads.

Born the day the Hawks became a franchise. Watched them with my Dad since I was old enough to remember

Turned 36 last week.

If my wife dies ya wanna hook up ?

Born the day after Elvis died.
Been a Hawks fan since first grade flag football. Coach asked us each what position we wanted to play. I said receiver. Some kid shouted that I was too slow to be a receiver. The coach called me Largent for the rest of the season. I've been a Largent and Hawk fan since then.

7, in dog years.

I was born the year after the Seahawks came to town. I became a fan shortly after moving to Washington in the 90's and have been a quiet fan of this site long before I signed up for an account.

HUGE Seahawks, Mariners and UW fan.

Mr dbmack would have something to say about that

Trivia: for those who were around to remember Mr dbmack is the one who started the Papaki thing

Been a fan since day 1. Used to bum rides to Cheney WA to watch training camp in the 80's. Got Edwin Bailey's cleats and some wrist bands from Daryl Turner and literally 100's of autographs..... great memories!
