12s Tour features Seahawks CJ Prosise and Joey Hunt in Bellingham

The 12s Tour brought our Seahawks to Bellingham. C.J. Prosise, Joey Hunt and the Seagals made it an event to remember.

Kudos to the Seahawks organization and their public relations/marketing team for coming up with the 12s Tour. I am a season ticket holder who lives in the greater Bellingham area (Lummi Nation). When I got that email from the Seahawks inviting me and up to three guests to the local Buffalo Wild Wings, I was all over it.

I wasn’t sure what to expect as I was unable to really tell my two sisters what it was going to happen. All the invitation said was that it was going to be a chance to meet Seahawks players, C.J. Procise and Joey Hunt and complimentary food and beer.

I talked with a few other people in line to get into the shindig. They said that some season ticket holders didn’t get their tickets on time before the deadline and before the limit was up. So, I felt that I was in some exclusive territory.

Behold the CJ

Seattle Seahawks

As we entered the restaurant, two Seagals were there to take pictures. I had my selfie stick and so I kept the video rolling and did a Facebook live session. They were very gracious and of course beautiful. We’re just a squirrel trying to get a nut, huh guys?

Loud music was pumping from inside as we entered. The Seahawks DJ Super was spinning the one’s and two’s. We grabbed a seat and decided to order off the menu rather than standing in a long line to get the free food.

Gee Scott gets the 12s Tour rockin’

Once we got our beer and food, the party really started. Oh, it wasn’t just because the food and beverage was on point. The night’s emcee, Gee Scott, began to get it rockin’.

There were several small contests going on. Then the moment that will live with me for a long time arrived. I raised my hand when Gee asked if anyone wanted to volunteer to do their best Pete Carroll impression. He said, “There looks like a guy that has a ton of confidence, so let’s bring him up to see how he can impersonate the Seahawks head coach.”

There was another contestant that must not have heard the rules. OR he was buzzed up enough that he decided to just do his best Phil Collins impression of In the Air Tonight, which was supposed to be a background song to us impersonating Pete.

I come from a speaking background so I already knew this guy was toast to begin with. Since I saw the cameras rolling and because I knew I could do a good (enough) Pete impression, I gave it a shot.

Overall it was a really fun experience. I walked away with a signed CJ Procise and Joey Hunt football, which will serve me well when I go to training camp at the end of next month.

Connecting with the 12s is what it’s all about

Yes, that was the scene in Bellingham. Again, kudos to the Seahawks organization for serving up a great way to connect with their most loyal fans. After all, we pay with our money, big bucks for season-long tickets. The tour also allowed them to clear up some misnomers about the team.

Gee asked Prosise and Hunt what they thought of QB Russell Wilson. This was clearly a move to possibly debunk the ESPN story that they are not getting along in the locker room. Gee hit the bullseye. Many of us could hear it straight from those that are in the locker room that it’s all good in there.

I’d love it if they could do something like this throughout the year, not just in the off-time as it not only is getting me fired up for a new season and high expectations, but for my sisters too. They learned something new about the team and want to more be a part of the party. Great work on the 12s Tour, Seahawks! Can’t wait for the next time you hit the road.
