Alas, Daybe was a young lad one day, as he was watching the Seattle Seahawks play on a rather uneventful Sunday so far. The date was January 8, 2011. The 7-9 Seattle Seahawks were preparing to take on the heavy favorites, the 11-5 New Orleans Saints. Daybe was a believer, he thought the Seahawks could win it against the odds. He knew the Saints were a good team, and knew it would have to take a great performance to stop the Saints quarterback Drew Brees. That hope did not fade away after several miscues, including Olindo Mare starting off the game by kicking the ball off out of bounds. He watched the game attentively as it went on.
Fast forward
It was 34-30 with the Seahawks hanging on. 2nd & 10. About four minutes left to play. Hasselbeck handed off to Lynch. Lynch broke a tackle. Lynch avoided another. Lynch cut up field! LYNCH WAS GOING TO SCORE! DAYBE WAS GOING WILD! LYNCH WITH ONE MAN TO BEAT! STIFF ARMS HIM TO THE GROUND! THE CROWD IS GOING WILD! LYNCH SCORES!
Later, the Seahawks won 41-36. Daybe was extremely happy that day. Even if the Seahawks lost their next game, Daybe would always remember that game.
