I would have said no and rented a bus

They have 114 737s (although they don’t fly to Pullman) and another 48 Bombardier Q400s (which fly into Pullman). The plane’s all generally get different assignments each day and sometimes it just happens the Husky one flies into Pullman. It can be done but it’s just easier to give the plane an assignment and if that’s where it takes it, so be it. I’m sure I’m over simplifying and there are probably more factors that go into the decision of what plane goes where. But there are plenty of occasions you’ll see the WSU, Oregon, Oregon State plane not just in Pullman but in their rival’s city as well.

And lest we forget the tail of a U of I athletic director who refused to get on the Boise State plane at PUW.

does that mean the WSU plane should never be in Seattle? The Oregon plane?

To give publicity to the school that is on it. I believe that was part of the agreement. Additionally, until recently, the coug plane was larger than most of the others (it was a CRJ 700 or something) and planes that size don’t fly to Pullman like the bombardiers do for the same reason 737s rarely fly to Pullman.

And actually getting out of the car to watch them get on the plane and yell at them.
