Due to the recent success of the Seahawks, Seattleites are experiencing a fandom revival, and relearning how to be annoying. What follows are the top ten characteristics of the modern 12th Man:
1. You ignore Richard Sherman’s blatant pass interference, but scream uncontrollably at the TV when the corner on Golden Tate accidentally makes contact
2. You have yelled “BEAST MODE” during a moment of brief athletic excellence while playing intramural sports
3. You think that the Hail Mary TD against Green Bay in 2012 was actually a TD
4. You flinch whenever you hear someone mention that they take Adderall
5. You strongly believe that Russell Wilson is the second-coming of Jesus Christ
6. On the other hand, you (and the rest of the world) think that the devil incarnate is none other than 49ers’ coach Jim Harbaugh
7. You’ve been to CenturyLink, and know what loud really means
8. Your first fantasy football draft pick is Marshawn Lynch, followed by the Seattle D, then Russell Wilson
9. Your collection of life’s greatest memories includes the Seahawks upset wildcard game against the Saints
10. Come Sunday, you join the 12th Man and root for the best team in the NFC West (which we Seahawks fans know, is the best team in the entire NFL)
