Beer, pizza, and one very well-traveled rock. 😂🪨 Our road to the CougsFirst! Eastside Show took us through two more Coug businesses this week: Taps Growler House in Vancouver and Moss Bay Hall in Kirkland!
@WSUAlumAssoc

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

A big thank you to both businesses for welcoming our new WSU–OSU rivalry trophy and helping us show off the Coug connections that make this community so special!

Different businesses. Different cities in Washington. Same reason they're on our route: Cougs supporting Cougs.

We gave you a first peek at who's coming to Spokane... and we've got some more to introduce. 👀

The Eastside Show will bring together Coug-owned and Coug-connected businesses from a range of industries, and today we're introducing another group you'll find on the show floor!

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

And if you've been wondering when you'll get to see the trophy yourself, it'll be on display at the CougsFirst! Eastside Show on November 6 in Spokane!

Our favorite unnamed trophy has found another Coug-owned business along the way! 🪨

This time, #FollowTheRock is making a stop at Moss Bay Hall in Kirkland, owned by fellow Coug Justin "Juice" Andrews! While there, our rock also got to meet up with Coug icon, @therealdashdog!

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

We've been taking this trophy around WA to visit the businesses and people who make the Coug network what it is. And what better excuse to introduce you to another Coug business (and legend 🐾) worth knowing?

Next stop? You'll have to keep following along. 👀
@WSUAlumAssoc

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

And Vancouver isn't the only place to find them, Taps also has locations in Ridgefield + Camas!

One more Coug business checked off the route. ✔️
Spokane, we're getting closer... #FollowTheRock

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

Road trip rule: always know where the good pit stops are. 🍺🪨
#FollowTheRock → Taps Growler House

Coug-owned by Kevin Summers, Taps has 54 taps of beer, cider + wine alongside handmade pizza!

Join us at 3 pm as they talk about what's happening & what's ahead at WSU and the role Cougar Nation plays in the university's future.

It's a chance to hear directly from WSU leadership before the Eastside Show floor opens at 4 pm for an afternoon of Coug businesses!

Well, the Beavs took round one. We'll give them that one. 😅🪨 But this rivalry is just getting started! Round two is November 28, and we've got plenty of time to prepare for a little redemption. 🐾

First, our very well-traveled rock has one more road trip to make! Spokane! 📍

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

Your game-day geology lesson: The Missoula Floods that helped carry one of these rocks also backed into the Willamette Valley, and deposited Palouse soil here.

Told you this trophy had layers. 🤓🪨

#GoCougs

[CougsFirst! @CougsFirst]

IT MADE IT. 🪨 Pullman → Corvallis. Today's the day! WSU and OSU have played since 1903.

Two schools. Two rocks. One trophy with no name. #FollowTheRock

@WSUAlumAssoc

[Cougs on the Couch @CougsOnTheCouch]

Met with Jesse Lyon to learn all about the new WSU vs OSU rivalry ‘trophy’.. what should this one be called? #FollowTheRock

One last stop before enemy territory! The trophy has officially made it to @WSUVancouver! From Pullman to Washtucna to the Columbia River Gorge and now Vancouver, we've followed this thing across Washington, and tomorrow it finally arrives in Corvallis!
