There’s a small chance I had too much fun getting to do public address for @WSUCougarFB last night. Thank you Glenn Johnson (a mentor & inspiration) for the help and allowing me to sit in “the” chair for a bit. I wanted to share a bit of that fun with you all. #GoCougs

The WSU football team is 58-37 since 2015, 33-25 in conference. A bowl game in every season that had bowl games. 4-4 against Oregon. Getting out ahead of any narrative that suggests that WSU has done anything but consistently outperform expectations/recruiting rankings.

ESPN's report on the WSU/OSU suit against the Pac-12 includes this very important piece: "The essence of WSU and OSU's concerns are, if the league's 12 schools formally meet (next Wed.), that the current members could vote to dissolve or evenly distribute the remaining assets."

The Northern Lights are out. I can even see them from our backyard in Pullman (credit to my phone’s long exposure for “seeing” it better than I can). Even so, what a show.
