OK, Guys - who were the Seattle Seahawks playing, and what was the final score?

First correct post, showing proofs, will earn the honorary title of Grand Google Wizard, or somesuch.

Cheers

Frank

Hi Frank. I live near Seattle, but unfortunately don't follow football too closely. Nor have I been very successful w/ tracking down when individual photo's were taken. I am excited, tho, because there are many people who are excellent at such things here. Once the date is nailed down it's a simple matter of seeing who they played that day. Then you're just one step away from identifying the play. Could these players on the field be the first individual persons identified in keyhole?

Dec. 26 2004
Seattle (24) vs Arizona (21)

edit: Hmmm... look closer. The guy in this thread is closer than we are. See the Coug's logo at 50yd line?

My Guess is.....

vrs SF 49er's 9-26-2004

Seattle Killed the 49er's 34-0!

The angle of the Sun is too high for Dec or Jan games.
Plus leaves are on the Tree's.

But a Guess.
Could be 2003 season!

I'd almost guarantee that it's a coug game....not only the logo in the center, but look at the color of the crowd...

Definately crimson and silver (WSU colors), not blue and silver (Seahawk colors).

Not sure of score...looking now...

Here we go:

Article briefly mentions that the game was played at seahawk stadium, additionally:

Second row of pictures, middle pic clearly shows the Seahawk stadium logo (upper deck) with a cougar receiver attempting a reception.

What do I win?

I just have to say that this is my favorite thread of the keyhole BBS. How cool is it that they nailed a game in progress? Only other one I've found was a baseball game at PNC Park (Pirates) in Pittsburgh.

And here we have a goal line stand, no less!!

Definitely a college game. That couger logo is NOT there during Seahawks games. Rich_B is close, but WRONG! That game on Aug.30, 2003, was a NIGHT game!

Keep trying, peoples.

Ok I think I got it. WSU only plays 1 game per year at Qwest Field, so this really should be pretty easy. Also I was mistaken about the "goal-line stand." The offence is going the other way. Looks like the Cougars are playing D (white helmets, dark jerseys... they're red but you can't see it) and their opponents, in white jerseys, are on offence with their backs up against the wall. In the game recap for 9/11/04, WSU v. CO (game ended at 3:37pm), it says "Colorado made a late goal line stand." So Colorado stopped WSU on the goal line, which probably happened on the previous play to the GE shot, giving Colorado the ball on their own 3 yard line. I'd say 1st or 2nd down, 4th quarter.

In fact, I just looked at the game tracker. With 17 seconds left in the game, WSU was trying to score and get a 2 point conversion to tie it. WSU had the ball at the 5 yard line, second and goal, and... rush up the middle... FUMBLE! CO recovers. So the next play (the last play of the game), when CO has the ball, about to rush up the middle to run the clock out, could be the GE shot.

Fact: CO had the ball on the 2 yrd. line on the last play of the game. (fits)
Fact: CO defended the north goal in the second half. (fits)
Fact: Game started at 12:30 (fits with the shadows)

But... why isn't the crowd filling the aisles to leave?
Answer: "football game which will be followed by activities and by Cougar Night at Safeco Feild". They're chilling cause their ticket is good for a whole day's worth or college yip-yip.

So, I give you: Cougars Fall To Colorado 20-12, Sept. 11, 2004 . GE shot of Seattle: 3:36pm, September 11th, 2004!
