Happy 1) I like the Hulk nickname....Ha Na is strong, stocky and kinda looks like The Hulk. 2) So if someone in the gallery shouted....."Go Rocket".....would HYP know they are cheering for her?......does HYP know she has this nickname? 3) Thx for your explanation on your thoughts on Lydia.....yes....others find her boring too. I like Lydia and her win here in Van City in 2012 was maybe one of the best golf events I have attended. I think The Dragon Lady, Tina, has a lot to do with the way Lydia is managed and branded.I n my eyes, Tina is Mrs. BJ Wie....lol 4) I think Kendall Dye.....a new 2015 LPGA rookie is a great example of another questionable 'rookie' as the media depicts. Kendall has been tolling on the Symetra for years....so she has many years of professional experience....I don't expect Kendall to secure/maintain an exempt card for 2016.

The only reason why the Seahawks went for a pass on 2 & 1...was if they were not successful for a TD....the clock would have stopped. Then if Lynch was unsuccessful on 3 & 1....then Seattle would use there last time out to formulate the last play of the game for a TD.
If Seattle would have went to Lynch on 2 & 1...and unsuccessful....they would use their time out.....but if still unsuccessful on 3rd down....depending on how fast they set up for 4th down....the clock might have expired.
IMO....Seattle used their other 2 time outs inappropriately.
If they had even 2 time outs....I can just about assure that they would have gone BEASTMODE....all the way.
With Russell Wilson's scrambling abilities...they should have done a bootleg option on 2 & 1.....lateral to Lynch, throw or Russell running for a TD....in one play you have 3 options.
But it's always....woulda, shoulda, coulda....end of story.

I recorded game 7 of the '94 Stanley Cup finals on VHS for historical purposes, in case the Rangers beat the Canucks, which they did. I think that tape also includes news coverage of you psychos in Vancouver turning over cars after the game! I haven't watched it in a LONG time.
Very sad...for one play Pete Carroll reverted to the dumbbell coach he was for the Jets way back when.
BTW, the Seattle uniforms are BUTT UGLY! They had terrific uniforms when they entered the NFL in '76, but it's been all downhill since. I wore a Seahawk sweatshirt yesterday that's at least 20 years old. It has the old "normal" blue and green colors...just beautiful. I'll never give it away.

Phil I was downtown 94 Stanley Cup finals....but I missed the riots when I walked back to my car. The 94 riot was like a bonfire compared to the outrage in 2011. The Vanc police have spent millions prosecuting the goons.
I went downtown after the games when the Canucks won the previous games at home during the finals...it was a lot of fun....I even got a video of a gal flashing the crowd....lol.
I was in Toronto during the 94 series. I went to a bar called the Loose Moose....it was dead watching the game cause TO was not interested in a Canucks vs. Rangers final. My friend and I were having a drink at the bar beside a good looking snobby gal.
After the game......about 15 NHL players showed up....Lindros, Domi, Ranford, McSorley, etc. The guys had a NHLPA meeting beforehand. Within 5 minutes the bar was packed.....no social media required. After an hour....the snobby girl at the bar was playing tonsil hockey with one of the NHL players.....it is maybe one of the ugliest guys....can you guess? Yup....Mike Ricci.....lol.

There are good people in Seattle so it was a tough loss for them. Pete Carroll's incompetence finally was brought to light. After the way he left USC, karma finally caught up to him. I don't think he is quite ready to be inducted into the hall of fame. Even Marc Trestman could have coached that much talent to a winning record.
I also think it is a little early to induct Russell Wilson into the hall. The media portrays him as a saint. Those in the know will attest that he is far from it. Seattle will play with a chip on its shoulder next year and I think a 9 and 7 record is feasible with a wild card spot to look forward to.

Can anyone sell me a cheap Seahawk's ticket so I can go see them for the 1st time w/o taking out a loan....lol.

Seattle luck finally ran out. I thought that , that lucky catch would lead to another miracle loss for New England. Even though I am a Pete Carroll fan because of his time as the coach of the USC Trojans.
I did not think that they deserved to win.
If they had completed the pass. People would have called it a great call. Hind sight make experts out of everyone.

Not so much as an overturned garbage can in Seattle as far as I can see. There are still cars driving by with #12 flags. Seattlites only riot when the WTO comes to town. I've been trying to figure out for years if Hee Young knows about her Rocket nickname. It's been used on Golf Channel broadcasts. I've seen people call her Rocket on her twitter feed (which she obviously reads). But not once have I seen her mention it. My guess is she knows about it, though.

This thread is already off the rails but even though I ceased caring about football in 1986 allow me to put in my $0.02 worth:
The celebrations back here were more orderly than in years past, but then all the snow we've had and the forecast for more today would have something to do with that. The rolling rally on the duck boats won't be until Wednesday because the team couldn't get back here until tonight due to the weather and then the city has to clear as much snow off the route as possible; it's also supposed to be at or around the freezing mark on Wednesday which would have been more comfortable for the fans than the mind numbing cold expected Tuesday in the wake of today's storm.
The local media today has been covering the game's aftermath but the main story has again been the weather. On top of the 34.5" Worcester got in last week's blizzard, the snowiest single storm in recorded history in the Commonwealth's second city, we could easily see at least another foot before it winds down tonight.

Q. One of your bios it says your nickname is Rocket. Is that true, and how did you get that nickname if it's true? HEE YOUNG PARK: Yeah, maybe two years ago it was Thailand -- the Honda Classic, but I shoot like 64-65-67 kind of stuff, and then when I make a birdie sometimes like easily like three in a row, more than that, and the people just, oh, you're rocket, you just feel it and keep going. That's why I think they called me Rocket. THE MODERATOR: Congratulations.
uh, that's NOT why we call her rocket ( around here anyway ). She Rockets up the leader board, but then rockets down it ( but then maybe back up again !! )

She Rockets up the leader board, but then rockets down it ( but then maybe back up again !! ) Well, she's sort of saying she rockets up the leaderboard (three birdies in a row); it's OK if she doesn't know about the down part. Also, it occurs to me that Rocket sounds kind of like 'Rock it', and she certainly rocks, so that's cool, too. What I'm saying is, Go Rocket!
