    A lot of confusion will be had when guys tell their wives they are going to AA on Saturday, then come home 3 hours later plastered.

    If you're going to go down the path of naming rights ... that's a great deal for the University.

    I absolutely fucking hate the fact that we have a brand logo plastered on the basketball court and will probably have one on the football field as well. Yeah, it's a ton of fucking money but at what point is traditions and all the bullshit worth more than $4.1 mil a year? Do we really need that money? Yes. We have a multi-billion dollar endowment. Not for football you don't. Not sure why I care so much but I do.
    UW doesn't have the best facilities, isn't the best program in the country....never ever take your foot off the gas. When old Husky Stadium was remodeled, all tradition was tossed out the window. It needed to be.

    Win and no one will care.

    Back in the day, the Throbber hooked up with a batshit crazy Alaska Airlines stewardess.

    If the naming rights include batshit crazy stewardesses to host recruits, I'm down with this deal.

    Get yo' freak on.

    AA deal is fucking retarded. Where were they when we built the stadium? What does the football program get out of it? The stadium gets renamed for extra girls soccer cleats and an upgrade to alphalpha for the cows on the softball team. What a completely fucktarded stunt by the AD.

    How about an extra 10k seats in the stadium? Fuck no. The football program gets nothing worthwhile out of this.

    Christ. Here is a list of the bad things that come out of this deal:































    Yes, football funds other sports, just like at 100% of other schools in the country. Expenses have gone up by 1.3 million dollars a year this year just with COA and Full food service for all athletes.

    The football team spends a shit ton of money, money is not and has not been the problem at UW over the past decade and a half. A great deal of this money is going to football on this. But because of this deal we DON'T have to take money out of the football revenue to pay for the other sports to get their food and COA raises.

    More money is available to the football program now because of this deal. This is terrific for the football program.

    They want a return on their investment. With Sark running the program they were never getting the exposure they want. Petersen will win and that will get us on ESPN and that is what they want.

    Win. Nothing else matters. Not to me. Not to Alaska Airlines.

    I am selling the naming rights to my couch. I am asking 2k/year. Proceeds to Dish, new sweatpants, and legal weed.
