If you would have told me as a kid that Italy would miss the World Cup for at least 16 years, I’d have assumed the World Cup had been canceled three times in a row. What’s going on???
When I first walked on at Washington State, I went to Dissmore’s and bought this hat—my “walk-on hat.” There are years of blood, sweat, tears, and sacrifice stitched into this thing… and into this program. I’m not the only one who feels that way. We’ve had so many great players come through WSU who poured everything they had into this place and still care about it deeply. Many of them are now coaching in college football themselves.
My hope is that wherever we go from here, we bring Cougs onto this staff like @michaelbumpus5 said! People with Coug DNA, people who are invested in WSU. With the right Cougs in the building, this program can have a true foundation that lasts beyond any coaching change and creates real stability in this new era of college football.
So much of life isn’t about the event itself—it’s about how you choose to perceive it, the story you tell yourself, and ultimately how you respond. I believe we’ll look back on this moment as the catalyst for a great decade of @WSUCougarFB —because we had the right people in the building and all of Coug Nation supporting them!
Go Cougs!
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down
Of the big lake, they called Gitche Gumee
The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead
When the skies of November turn gloomy
Incredible that one of the best catchers in the history of our franchise probably just ended our season due to being unable to manage a bullpen. Just insanely bad decision making
