I guess everyone is a Hawks fan right now

So I get summoned to North Wenatchee this afternoon. About a 10 minute drive to the pick up. Pretty typical and then a 15 minute drive to the destination. On the way there I get a message from a woman saying I just need you to take my daughter back to high school. For Michael, it was that Business Park just below Ohme Garden road.
So I think nothing of it until I pull up expecting a normal Wenatchee High girl but this girl is like a teen super model that would fit in far better in Beverly Hills than Wenatchee. Total glamour high fashion outfit perfect hair, perfect make up absolutely gorgeous. A 10.
So the beginning of the ride is totally normal just like any trip, we say high and exchange about 20 seconds of pleasantries and we are on our way. I can't help but trying to sneak glances in the rear view mirror without looking like a total perve. She was like a freaking miracle. lol
Of course she is on her phone for about 10 minutes just as expected and I am listening to Sports radio. Then they start talking about the SB on the radio and out of the blue she asks, "Are you excited for the Super Bowl" I was so stunned I didn't think I could have heard her right. I say, Pardon??
She repeats and I say, Of course! She asks if I am a Hawks fan and I show her my Hawks polo that I have been wearing every day since Sunday and say absolutely! She says, me too and I thought that would be the end of it. But then she says, first time since 2013 and 2014! She was Four or Five years old back then! At this point I think I am getting punked and we are about to turn into the school parking lot and she says, I hope we get revenge on the Patriots. LOL
I am so speechless I can only come up with, Me too! Then for the coupe de gras she says, I hope Darnold and JSN play together for a long time, they have such a great connection!
I said yes, they were born to be together and she laughed and got out and said, thanks for the ride....
She was literally the last person on earth I would think would even watch football let alone have any sort of knowledge about it.
Where were these girls when I was in HS???
