We went to the Oakland/Seahawk preseason game the Thursday before the game in 2009 and I got asked several times what "LSU" is and why are there so many of yall here. They were oblivious to UW playing

Seattle is a weird place like that. The general, average person just isn't that into following sports - they're doing other things. UW football has tens of thousands of diehard fans, but the entire state isn't all into it the way most of LA supports LSU. WSU has a real fanbase in the state and people who didn't go to college here don't necessarily immediately jump onboard. Being mediocre-to-lousy for a decade hasn't helped. The rise of the Mariners, then Seahawks, then Seattle Sounders one after another has given the bandwagon people who want one sport to pretend to care about something to do as well.

We're not all passive fans. The UW faithful are strong and represent well. But we don't bring it in the manner ya'all do.
