Original Post
The owner of Duke's on Alki Duke Moscrip, is a Seahawk fan, and their loss in Superbowl 49 was a blow to his hopes and those of millions of others. He came up with a plan to lift the spirits of Coach Pete Carroll and other coaches by celebrating not the now famous 12th man but instead the 13th Man. He wrote Pete and his coaches an open letter and then decided to place the letter in local media outlets from Seattle to Tacoma to inspire a fun and positive way for fans to cope with their loss.

On Tuesday Feb. 10 at 1pm he will unveil a large 13th Man flag at the Alki Beach location.

Here's his letter:

Open Letter to Pete Carroll and all Seahawks Coaches

Dear Pete,

I know you are just as disappointed in Sunday's result as any fan and probably even more so. It was a devastating loss. There is frustration everywhere and a fair amount of anger floating around. But I have an idea that can turn things around. Here it is. The players have the 12th Man to help them out but you don't have a Man. Let me introduce the 13th Man for you and the Coaches. I know the number 13 is usually unlucky but, in this case, it is just the opposite. With the enormous amount of bad luck in the 'Big Game', we need a strong antidote and No. 13 will do the job. I once intercepted a pass in the end zone and ran for a 103 yard touchdown when I was in Pee Wee football. I was wearing, you guessed it, No. 13. It worked for me and it will work for you. The 13th Man will provide wonderful ideas for you and all the coaches, trick plays, a modern day Statue of Liberty play, sneaky stuff to make your opponents just as frustrated as all of us are right now. Consider the 13th Man your lucky charm. You know what they say, you can never have too much good luck. I hope you will see this as a positive thing for your coaches and team. We need to be positive from here on out. Yes, we lost the 'Big Game' but we just have to move on and the 13th Man will help us do that. What do you say, Pete?
