    Let's put it this way

    Steve Largent went to Tulsa U but will never have to buy a drink in Seattle again. He doesn't drink but still. He went back to Oklahoma and won a Congress seat because no way Seattle voters go for him. But he didn't win in Oklahoma because he went to Tulsa. He won because he made the NFL HOF

    Curt Warner went to Penn State but started car dealerships in Seattle after his HAWK career.

    Point is the NFL career is the most important to the future,

    Sonny Sixkiller had no NFL career so he does Native Casinos ads @Swaye

    I remember renting a house in Seattle way back in the day and Tom Flick was the agent. Being a college star in Seattle is worth something

    Point taken but that was 3 or 4 generations ago, Pops.

    Odds are his millions will be made on a yet-to-be-designed social engineering, er social networking, platform of some type, probably involving cat or dog videos.

    Who knows what people will pay good money for in 10, 20 or 30 years?

    Why does that matter?

    I don't think regional or geographic loyalties have the pull they once had now things are so interconnected through the web.

    And Smalls is all about blowing up Social Networking, where there's little tether to his hometown or NFL town roots.

    I don't think Michael Jordan pays for a drink anywhere, not just Chicago. And I think that's where it's headed.

    Smalls falls into the NFL category

    Well, I Tee'd that one up rather nicely for you, didn't I?

    I would've said LT, but he's got all those drug arrests. Or maybe OJ, until his minor scrape with the law in '94.

    I can't really think of an NFL guy who doesn't buy a drink anywhere, but I'm sure there are some, or else that day is coming. Maybe Smalls is THE guy.

    They then reap the benefits of being a college star/NFL player for life.

    I've wondered about the reality of this. What are the benefits. I'm sure in some places it is the case and there is some name recognition benefit. However I've been to events and see purported fans of the Redskins fail to recognize Doug fucking Williams, not to mention numerous other former players.

    They might not recognize the face, but they recognize the name. In marketing most businesses, the name is all that matters.

    Guys it's not the actual city that mattes - IE going to Texas A&M. You think Aggie grads stay in college station after they graduate? No, they go to Dallas, Houston, Austin, etc... for jobs. And I have family in Texas, fucking A&M grads everywhere you go, in every huge company. It's not about what city your school is in to get "business connections" after college.

    Fair point, but I think we're talking about more than business connections. We're talking about notoriety and infamy.

    Maybe Smalls is interested in Pullman’s “lush natural surroundings.”

    Seattle can’t compete with that.

    A Big 12 writer was saying that Texas Tech has one of the largest alumni bases in Texas. If you’re a Texas kid and want to stay in Texas, it’s a good deal.

    Like you mentioned, UT & aTm have larger nationwide networks plus the Texas in-state connects

    The benefits of choosing UW come up every year. Smalls isn’t thinking about networking after football. No 5 star is.

    Truth.

    Fuck.
