    Man, Lacrosse must be big money to have apparel deals all the way out to 2029.

    The must be the big money "club" sport at UW.
    Real talk, it doesn't seem like it. They ask for money on social media a lot.
    Everyone on the Lacrosse team was rich and white that I knew. They had zero fans though, even rugby drew a bigger crowd. I'd bet they are hitting all those rich donors up via social media to fund the sport.
    The players themselves come from rich, white families. That means they can afford to pay for everything they have. It doesn't mean any rich boosters are going to care enough to actually donate to what amounts to a 3rd tier sport (at least on the west coast).
    Meanwhile #myrowboat has a $14,000,000 endowment and still gets mostly funded by athletic dept revenue. We’re rich biatch!!

    UW rugby needs to step up their twatter game
    https://twitter.com/HuskyRugby

    Rugby is all staffed by current team members. Results vary wildly because of this. This is how I ended up as de-facto social chair bc our then-current social chair got a girlfriend who hated rugby parties.

    It's all funded by a trust established by ONE major donor and then fundraising directly by the team which is usually done by running security for the frats plus other outside events such as Seafair, as I've shared stories from.
    I had a property manager "friend" who was a Harvard Rugby guy. We couldn't have been more different but we worked good together. He also lived in Sahallee when the WGC was there so I could watch Tiger without going through all the riff raff

    Rugby guys are their own breed
    Sahallee. Land of milfs a plenty. One of the only redeamable qualities about Eastlake High as well.

    I was there for the WGC on Saturday. We walked on at the 6th from a friends. Didn't Vijay do something stupid at this tourney when he turned in his card?

    LAX club was all about debauchery back in the day. It was a bunch of lakeside dudes trying to work a little cigarette smoke out of their lungs and catch a buzz at the same time. .

    My team is so rich and fancy that even the football team eats in our house that @RaceBannon built.
    If I ever get uber rich I'll go full T Boone Pickins on UW rugby.
    Sorry Bro, IMA fields and E1 are getting replaced by low income housing. Youll be playing your games in Kent.
