Also Sinking (In)--The Hawks Victory

What can you say about the Seahawks yesterday? They dominated the Panthers on offense and defense. They held Steve Smith to 33 yards receiving and a disputed return touchdown. They didn't turn the ball over and they took the ball four times. All in all, their 34-14 win was the best performance by a local team in a big game since, well, since the Huskies' 34-14 win over Michigan in the 1992 Rose Bowl. 34-14 is now our favorite football score.

We will save the speculation about how the Hawks match up against Pittsburgh for the next 13 days. For now, we're enjoying this, with the help of the local and national media:
