I could hazard a guess, but I doubt WSU students and alums would appreciate it, and she still has friends there, so I'll keep it to myself.
The school used to sell tees/sweatshirts with Wazzu on them. I have one, and it was given to me by my brother, a WSU alum. I never wear it, because although I did not graduate from UW, I did put down a deposit there initially and later attended summer classes, so I consider myself an honorary Husky. Plus everyone else in my family is a Husky, and I grew up cheering for no other team.
