[b]A time of sorrow[/b]

Having watched Super Bowls my entire life (yeah, it's three years older than me) I normally didn't get too emotionally invested in what fear of copyright infringement now refers to as "The Big Game".  It was just any other game -- albeit with more and better snacks -- even if the pregame show started on Wednesday.

This year it finally meant something.  My team was finally IN!  The only thing that has come as close is the Idaho Vandals winning their only bowl appearance against the Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles in the 1998 Humanitarian Bowl.  I felt numb last night after the game.  Yes, there were bad calls, and everything seemed to favor the steelers (even the little segues with players holding the Lombardi tropy throughout the game), and it seemed scripted just to get Jerome Bettis a ring.  But some of the blame lays on Seattle, since Jeramy Stevens seemed to drop a lot of important passes, and Hasselbeck (who normally is pretty good at time management) seemed a tad frazzled when it came down to the wire.

I know, it's just a game.  But dagnabbit, the freakin' Seahawks were in the freakin' Super Bowl!

Here's hopin' they get back.
