The Sonics are moving to OKC.
The Mariners were supposed to contend for the AL West but are in the cellar. They traded the farm for Bedard who is an above average pitcher.
The Seahawks make the playoffs but die in the first round or two.
The UW has won no national championships in any sport. They shared one in football but nothing close in any other major sport.
I am done.
what about Seattle Slew????

I'm still a HUGE Seattle sports fan: climbing, running, biking and hiking.

Is it "posing" if I'm actually out doing it? (rhetorical question)Those fatasses in the stands are the "Real Deal", according to your evaluation.You're welcome to move to OK and enjoy your wonderful team.

Yeah, a lot of my life revolves around sports played by other people as well. I'm defiantly going to move to a city with good sport teams, because that is what makes a city great.
I haven't been a fan of Seattle sports since they traded Shawn Kemp.
..there's always the thunderbirds and sounders.....maybe the tacoma jr hockey team???
if not for the refs, or powers that be, you'd have a super bowl title, which is more than most cities have.

Nope, the Seahawks just got to the Super Bowl, then remembered they were the Seattle Seahawks. And so the Steelers won with one of the worst performances ever in a Super Bowl. And I say this as a resident of Pittsburgh (not that it matters, because they won anyway, and didn't need any assistance from the refs -- unlike the Colts a couple rounds earlier, who needed help from the refs to get a chance to kick it wide right with time running out.)
"Fan" is derived from the latin "fannus", which means "that which always follows and excretes"; hence "fanny".
I like watching UW track meets, especially when there's a distance race or when Norris Frederick or Brad Walker jumps, because the jackass PA announcer they have makes it exciting!
It's been all downhill since the 1996 NBA Finals.

Neither have I!!! At least Seattle had enough women and coke to keep him under 3 bills!!!
Yes, if that is all not bad enough, then one must watch wsu "coug it" at the end of every big game.

The sad part is there was a very recent time when "Couging it" meant they were only going to a decent bowl game instead of a great one.
I was at WSU during the famous "backwards lateral" play in the Apple Cup (2002)where the Cougs blew it but still ended up in the Rose Bowl. They also lost the one in 2003 that forced Wazzu to end up "only" in the Holiday Bowl against Texas...and what a great bowl game that was for the Cougs. The last great game, I might add.
Now the Apple cup is about who is finishing 9th or 10th in the Pac-10, not who is going to what bowl game.
However the Cougs and the Zags can hoop it up now. Cougs made it to the sweet 16 and Zags barely lost to Davidson, this years cinderella which made it to the elite 8 and barely lost 59-57 to Kansas.

Not a big fan of the Vin Baker era?
How about all the trades, FA signings and blown draft picks? Seattle is the black hole. Heathcliff Slocum for Derek Lowe and Jason Varitek. Richie Sexson. Scott Spezio. Brian Bosworth. Rick Mirer. The Sonics draft 3 centers with first round picks who sit on the bench - Swift, Petro and Sene. Lorenzo Romar signs a top 10 recruiting class (the Spencer Hawes class) for Dawg Ball and only one is left on the team.
Too bad nobody likes to go watch UW track and field. They're actually pretty good. Plus a lot of their athletes are homegrown from the state of Washington - especially on the men's side.
You should try to catch one of their indoor meets they put on. Amazing stuff happens there but hardly anyone shows up to see it

I know you wouldn't say it's a major sport but the UW women's volleyball team were national champions a couple of years ago. A couple of the girls on the team were knockouts and it was great when they'd go against southern California girls. Highly recommend going to a game.
