Paul Allenthe Initials Game
Allen, who died Oct. 15 at the age of 65, lived a life that embodied the spirit of the UW through his relentless quest for learning and drive to innovate. He saw possibility everywhere, which is why he and the UW were so intertwined and why he became one of the University’s most ardent supporters with generous gifts and big ideas that have touched the lives of just about all of us. And why he transformed the world in so many ways.
Paul Allen 'P.A.' Is the host of 9 to Noon on KFAN, as well as the play-by-play announcer for the Vikings radio network and the track announcer at Canterbury. Follow him on Twitter @PAOnTheMic Game. The player of the game, Paul, is Clyde Drexler! Sometimes Allen would be traveling during the telecasts. He would pay for them to be beamed to a satellite and then, in the manner of a crisp bounce pass, back down to his yacht. 'The more I realized the challenges and opportunities,' says Allen, 'the more I got into it.' During the Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game against the Washington Football Team, each player wore a sticker with Paul's initials on his helmet. Players also joined hands and knelt before kickoff. Paul Allen has played Initials twice. He has lost the game twice and $20 to Meatsauce once. After his first game, he said he wasn't going to play again because it was too hard. Has had some classic incorrect answers. GAME 292: JANUARY 31, 2020: Initials: B.P. Host: Cory Cove: Players: Chris Hawkey, Paul Lambert, AJ Mansour, Mark Parrish: Location: In Studio: Item: Name.
Cancer robbed us of this incredible individual, an innovator with insatiable curiosity, a big thinker who possessed equally powerful drives to help humankind and build community. In her eulogy, UW President Ana Mari Cauce said: “Paul defined himself as a seeker of the next Big Idea, and one can only wonder what big ideas he would have brought to fruition if given more time. He understood the power of the arts and sports to heal, renew and build community and it’s hard to imagine our world or our city without him—he was truly Seattle’s 12th man. But I’m grateful for what he created during his 65 years and for the legacy that those of us inspired by his drive and generosity will continue to build upon.”
His legacy started innocently enough, when Allen and Gates were high school students who came to campus to use the UW computer lab. They spent so much time in the computer lab that in 1971, Allen received a letter from Hellmut Golde, then-director of the computer science laboratory, telling him, “In view of … a number of complaints from the regular users of the Laboratory, I must ask you to turn in your keys and terminate your activities in the laboratory immediately.” He and Gates had overstayed their welcome. But being asked to leave the computer lab did nothing to tamp down their innovative spirit.
