City council is ready for some football (and some cute boys and fried chicken)
Sometimes city council meetings can be heated and divisive events. But last night, city council appeared united on one topic: football.
The Inlander caught up with a few of the 12th men (and women) to see what they’re doing for the game.
Councilman Mike Allen
What’s going to be the score?
“I think Seattle, defense under 20 points.”
Where are you watching the game?
"We're hosting a house party."
Do you have any rituals or food you’re planning?
“Pomegranate martinis.”
Councilman Jon Snyder
What’s going to be the final score?
That’s going to be a tough one. 24-17, Seahawks.
Where are you going to watch the game?
“Probably at home with family and friends.”
Snyder says he doesn’t have cable, but does have an “ancient antenna” on his roof that allows him to watch the game.
Any special rituals or food?
“I gotta watch the game with people interested in the game. I always wear the colors. I gotta eat before because I get too nervous.”
“Last year’s game was the perfect Super Bowl because if you’re rooting for the perfect team you want no doubt. But this year could be a nail-biter.”
Council President Ben Stuckart
What will be the final score?
“Seahawks, 34-24.”
Where will you watch it?
“At home with my wife and mother.”
Do you have any rituals?
“I just yell a lot and cook good food.”
What do you cook?
“I think we are going to have prime rib this year.”
Councilwoman Karen Stratton
So where are you watching the game?
“I don’t pay any any attention to it. I look for the cute ones and point them out to my husband who tells me who they are, and then I watch the commercials. I don’t understand it.”
Councilwoman Amber Waldref
What will be the final score?
“Seahawks by 14.”
Where will you watch it?
“At home. We’ll project it onto a wall and have people over.”
“I’m much more the football fan than my husband, so I gotta twist his arm.”
This weekend Waldref will be attending a conference in Baltimore. She told her husband that by
“Sunday you better have this figured out.”
Any special rituals or food?
“KFC this year.”
