Seahawks 12th Man Creates Measurable Seismic Tremor?
Pacific Northwest Seismic Network Records Tremor as Marshawn Lynch Runs for TD
Q13 FOX News Online Web Reporter
9:37 p.m. PST, January 9, 2011

With every yard Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch gained, Qwest Field got louder.

But by the time his 67-yard, eight tackle breaking scamper in Saturday's playoff game against the New Orleans Saints was over, the 12th man was rocking.

And apparently so was the earth below the stadium.

The Pacific Northwest Seismic Network recorded a small tremor at exactly 4:43 p.m. Saturday afternoon from an old monitoring system near where the Kingdome used to stand.

That time is almost exactly when Lynch broke what turned out to be the game-deciding touchdown run in the 4th quarter, sealing the improbably win by the Seahawks.

Yeah baby!  112 decibels, 190 sacks, 104 false starts; and now, crowd noise that measures on the Richter Scale!  :-)

The 12th Man®: That's "Who Dat"!!!   :-)

I don't follow football and I didn't have a dog in that fight but I did happen to be watching when that happened....he had a pretty good run.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
