I've been a 'Hawks fan since moving here in '85. Been waiting - hoping since I was a teen - for 30 years for a championship in any (real) sport. Fans from cities where the teams win every few years cannot relate, but the 49ers fans boasting about the "Quest for Six", implying that because they already have five Lombardis they're somehow entitled to a sixth makes this victory ESPECIALLY SWEET.

This may finally be the year, but it's going to exact a level of play that exceeds even their finest performances.

GO HAWKS!!!
