Attn: Sooners, Pokes and Irish -- Bring your IDs

The governor of Washington state was denied entrance into an Olympia, Wash. bar because she did not have her ID. You may be thinking that a 61-year-old governor would not need an ID to get into a watering hole down the street from the governor's mansion. Well you, sir, have probably never been to Washington state.

You may also be thinking that, on its face, this has little to do with college football. And we admit that we bring this up in part because each of us has spent anywhere from a significant chunk to the entirity of our lives in Washington -- a place where dismissive attitudes toward alcohol consumption know no bounds.

But alas, dear reader, there is some relevance to college football. In addition to the regular slate of Pac-10 foes, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Notre Dame all play road games in Seattle this year. OU and Notre Dame face off against the University of Washington at Husky Stadium, and OSU's contest with Washington State will be played at Qwest Field. (BYU also visits Husky Stadium... HAHAHA MORMON JOKE! GINGER ALE!)

Take it from us -- if you're a road-tripping fan headed out to a bar in Pioneer Square, the U-District or anywhere in between, bring your ID. It doesn't matter if you graduated from college before the bouncer was born -- they will card your ass.

This has been a public service announcement brought to you by the writers of TOSW, who wish they were drunk right now.
