PULLMAN — The hiring of new football coach Mike Leach has certainly excited the fan base at Washington State.

Director of ticket sales Paul Finn said 450 season tickets have been sold since Leach was hired Wednesday, a big number for a normally quiet period.

Of the 450 sold, 185 went to people who made additional donations to the athletic department, Finn said.

Washington State sold just under 10,000 season tickets for last season. Renewal notices go out in January.

Leach took Texas Tech to 10 bowl games in 10 seasons.
