Yes, if that is all not bad enough, then one must watch wsu "coug it" at the end of every big game.
The sad part is there was a very recent time when "Couging it" meant they were only going to a decent bowl game instead of a great one.
I was at WSU during the famous "backwards lateral" play in the Apple Cup (2002)where the Cougs blew it but still ended up in the Rose Bowl. They also lost the one in 2003 that forced Wazzu to end up "only" in the Holiday Bowl against Texas...and what a great bowl game that was for the Cougs. The last great game, I might add.
Now the Apple cup is about who is finishing 9th or 10th in the Pac-10, not who is going to what bowl game.
However the Cougs and the Zags can hoop it up now. Cougs made it to the sweet 16 and Zags barely lost to Davidson, this years cinderella which made it to the elite 8 and barely lost 59-57 to Kansas.
