A Kennewick couple may not have season tickets to Seattle Seahawks, but they hope to be the football team's ultimate fans.
Brandon and Carla Baker are among 10 finalists competing for that honor -- and the ultimate prize of appearing in a Budweiser beer commercial.
Brandon Baker said they try to get tickets to Seahawks games three or four times a year. And when they attended this year's season opener against the Oakland Raiders, they mugged for the camera in hopes of winning tickets to another game.
Judges narrowed the choices to 10 and the public votes for the favorite. The winners will get tickets to an upcoming game and may get featured in a Bud Light commercial.
To check it out go to www.seahawks.com then click on "Fans" and then on "Contests & Promotions."
The Bakers are No. 5.

The first time the Tri-City Dust Devils reached the Northwest League playoffs in 2007, they did it on the final day of the season.
As a result, the Dust Devils front office had less than 24 hours to promote ticket sales for Game 1 the next day at what is now Gesa Stadium.
This season, Tri-City clinched the first-half East Division title three weeks ago, making things a little easier for the staff to promote ticket sales for Games 2 and 3 at Gesa Stadium on Sept. 5-6.

Coug fans open checkbooks after hiring Leach
PULLMAN -- The day after Mike Leach was hired as Washington State's football coach, the apathy athletic director Bill Moos perceived in the Cougars' fan base has seemingly dissipated, replaced by an interest that's spread as far south as Lubbock, Texas.
When Moos relieved Paul Wulff of his duties earlier this week, he cited that fan apathy as the trigger factor, saying it was his hope to provide a spark by changing leadership.
That spark has turned into a West Texas brush fire.
