And we have our own uniforms--red Polos with the LU athletic label and "Quiz Bowl" stitched on the sleeve.
I was thinking more in terms of, at the bare minimum...
...my own oversized leather La-Z-Boy (if I am to be the old man on the team);
...60" plasma HD-TV (must be able to watch Jeopardy in life-like color);
...Double-wide locker (obviously needed to hang the polos and khakis);
...Full field, locker room, weight room, buffet privileges for my entourage, personal trainer, athletic trainer, and for my body guard, Gerard. (never can be too careful, you know);
...My lovely wife be designated Team Mom (someone must bring the bananas and juice boxes between games);
...Full use of both
"The Cream" and
"The Clear." (It might not make me smarter, but with a head the size of Barry Bonds', the opposition would certainly be intimidated by a cranium that large).
Certainly, in the name of winning and helping place LU further in the limelight, the good Rev. Dr. Falwell should be financially able to meet this contract language.
