F it.... I'm not arguing with you guys. If you want to be close minded thats fine.

Whos got more fans, whos better represented, whos got more money, whos closer to Detroit yadda yadda.. nothing will matter when the ref blows his whistle and the ball is kicked off, its a matter of who "brings it"

:D may the best team win... i.e the STEELERS!

Well, you did a good job. I just wanted you guys to understand my point... Thank you for finally giving me what I wanted.

A week and a half away seems like a year away.

 

So who thinks this SB will set TV Rating records versus years past?

I dunno...

more then likley it will since the SB has become a bigger tradition every year for a party more then being a good game...

the carolina PAtriots was a great game....

all I hope is that this one is a great game and Seahawks win,,,,hehehe

Hard to tell specifics on the ratings - I gave up predicting the American Public a long time ago. It should be (as most Super Bowls are) one of the highest rated programs of the year. I think it is a better matchup/interest amongst those who want to attend - but that doesn't always translate into nationwide ratings. Often those two aspects diverge.

The "party/unofficial holiday" aspect does endure good viewership. Many will watch this game for the ritual of getting together (the social outlet). As far as I'm concerned, they might as well call it a holiday on the calendar - because I am the least likely to be willing to work that day

On another note: It appears that "Seahawk Fan" is stepping up to the plate. Hoteliers and travel companies report that while the first couple of days were mostly Steeler fans making the bookings for Detroit, the percentages are now leveling out some. By Wednesday, booking agencies were reporting that it was about a 50/50 split amongst fans making inquiries on Wednesday. Also, it appears the secondary ticket market has at least "leveled off", as fans collectively try to pay less to the brokers for tickets, in hopes that those prices will drop some. There are LOTS of seats being thrown back into the "secondary market", because many corporate sponsors aren't using their tix this year. So while there are lots of buyers, there seem to be lots of sellers, too.

I hope for a good game too. I want to see this game go to overtime - it is, after all, Super Bowl XL - The Extra Large Version The Super Bowl has never had an overtime. And I think these teams are so evenly matched that this is a distinct possibility - it could be a classic.

Looks like the Seahawks faithful belive in their team....

Would be sweet, but we all know that is highly unlikely...Hey as long as you know who will be on top at the end.

Vegas line was out on Sunday before the Seahawks even won, Steelers were favored by 3.5, line has moved to 4.5 as of today and most likely will be at 7 before kickoff.  Looks like the world is betting on the Steelers!!!

Is Seattle having any pre-parties at Quest Field to send off the team today?  Huge party in Pittsburgh at Heinz field, everyone has been informed to leave early if they are not planning on going as the city will be impossible to get out of after 5!

Honestly I don't know whats going on in Qwest field. I live in Portland which is about 3.5 hours south of Seattle.

Oh and I never said that the Hawks were going to loose, I just said that it wasn't going to be a blow out of the Steelers. Hawks will win , just not by some 21 points.

Looks like Billy Boy is finally using that money for something worthwhile....

Oh...I get it so your city doesn't even have a football team for you to root for, so let's jump on the wagon, right?? 

Yup, and what makes it nice is I can keep my options open.

Other favorite teams
St Louis Rams
San Franciso 49ers

Seattle is #1 though.


Honestly, I'd take the Saints and be happy if we could get a football team. Only pro sports we have is Portland Trailblazers (I hate basketball) and we just got some professional Lacross team. There is talk about moving the Florida Marlins to Portland, but I know there's a better chance of it snowing in Saudia Arabia than that happening.

Not sure why Portland doesn't have a team, they have the size and it is always voted as one of the best cities to live in every year since 2000.  Property consistantly appreciates there each year, and it one of the most beautiful cities I have even been to.  The Gorge, Columbia River and Mt. Hood, some of the most impressive sites to see in the US.
