It is that time of year again. The time when the Washington State Cougar football program rolls into the city of Seattle with their passion high, and their win total low. And this year, rather than hosting a non-conference opponent that is much worse than them, they are playing a Pac-12 foe, much worse than them. My point, no matter who they play or how good or bad they are, you guys stay in Pullman, and the Huskies will hold down Seattle.
Now, before you go arguing about all of the alums who live in the greater Seattle area, and all of the passion they have, let me tell you this; I understand that, and I don't care. I am sorry everyone graduates from WSU and gets the hell out of town as soon as they can. I also apologize on behalf of everyone responsible that Seattle is a much cooler place, and that the Washington legislator did not choose to put your campus here in 1890, but rather Pullman.
There are satellite campuses in Spokane (beautiful place), the Tri-Cities, and Vancouver. Why don't you guy's play a football game in one of those gems?
The idea of schools playing games in the largest city in the state should be reserved for rivalry games. I.e. Oklahoma and Texas playing in Dallas. That idea was brought up a couple of years ago for the Apple Cup, and WSU was scared away. Yet, they still want to come back and play a game each year. If the fan base has so many people in Seattle, and so much passion, why not play the Huskies in a 67,000 seat stadium every season?
The people in Seattle, and the Husky fans more importantly, did not make Martin Stadium the smallest in the Pac-12. The WSU administration did. Blame them. We understand you want our town, our town's facilities, and our amenities. But, with all that passion for the Palouse and "God's Country", why don't you just keep the "home" games over there?
Leave the West Side to the Best Side. UW.
Oh, and by the way, Martin Stadium is named after a Dawg. Nice work.
Your are to much i love it! I will make sure all the room mates see this.
