A little history lesson which Race Bannon(RIP) covered in a podcast(the fuck?) back in 2010. This notion that WSU is an original Pac-8 school so they are automatically grandfathered in is such bullshit.
In 1959 the Pacific Coast Conference which had been going since 1915 broke apart. Idaho btw was a part of our conference. Well in 1959 they formed a new conference which was the AAWU conference which consisted of the California schools Cal, USC, UCLA, and Stanford. Oh and it also included Washington as unlike Idaho, WSU, Oregon and Oregon State the Huskies could actually pull their weight.
The Huskies won the inaugural conference to go to the Rose Bowl in 1959 and 1960. In 1962 the Cougars were invited back into the conference. Then in 1964 the Oregon schools were added back in. The Huskies that year played 7 conference games while the rest only played 4(except Stanford who played 7). The rest of the California schools still wouldn't play the remainder of the PNW as it was a waste of their time.
Then in 1967 that was the first year every team in the conference started to play each other. So from 1959-1966 USC, UCLA, Cal all said fuck the PNW minus Washington they aren't pulling their weight so fuck em. In 1968 the conference was renamed the Pac-8 conference.
I don't know what this really has to do with booting WSU or not. However, to RoadDawg's point they had been booted before. Idaho was part of PCC dating back to 1922-1959 so there was precedent that teams not pulling their weight could be told to LEAVE!

Fuck that I can't stand talking to coogs. Does a "coug" even exist? Fuck I mean even Harv is a full blown coog.
Apple Cup is the shittiest game ever created. Coog co workers talk about it all week like it is the Super Bowl and when they lose they "dont care" because UW should have won. When they win you dont stop hearing about it until the next Apple Cup.
That games needs to LEAVE! Fuck.
they legitimately considering 2012 a success because they beat UW, even though they went 3 and fucking 9 and lost to colorado. CHRIST!
Oranges, shut the fuck up. You were the main one saying LIPO this year, so save the doog bullshit. Or talk about pressing. You are the guy who sends pm's and presses about fucking internet votes for almost a week.
I visited Pullman many times and always had a great time. It's a good place to party, no question about it, and it has better girls than UW. We have had this conversation before. The town still sucks, and it's pathetic people choose to live there. They don't belong in the PAC 12. It's that simple. There is no difference between WSU and Nevada, San Diego St, and other MWC schools other than WSU lucked out and someone made a stupid decision to bring them into the PAC 8.
They generate the smallest revenue of any school in the conference. Montana and Montana State are great party schools with lots of dumb sluts because of the easy admissions. That doesn't mean the belong in the PAC 12. You are a fucking idiot. No wonder all he older posters always hated you.
Listen idiot, LIPO was a legitimate argument. People were saying TSIO when UW was 4-0, all I said was "let if fucking play out" until the Furd and UO games. Obviously, Sark had his annual 3-game losing streak and LIFPO was wrong, but that wasn't a doog mantra. It was just letting the fucking situation play out, Sark was already back despite the HHB wish to the contrary.
My PM to Damone has been discussed ad nauseam by others, including about 10 threads about it. With that in mind, I don't think I was the one that was pressing....hth
Wazzu generates far more revenue than the other schools you compared it to, moron. And they are generating more, and are capable of generating more revenue, when the team is actually competitive for any amount of time. Moos and Leach are doing a good job of revitalizing that fan base.
Keep dooging dude. Sark's line was only bad because Willingham didn't recruit better ones, right?
WSU has a small yet rich football tradition including many NFL players, A Super bowl MVP, a few all Pro's, #1 and #2 NFL draftee's and two rosebowls in the last 20 years (to our 1), Nobody can touch Bob Robertson and now Mike Leach followed the $ to Pullman thanks to Moos (the best AD in the Biz )
Respect is earned-WSU has earned it. Proud to have them in our conference. We're going to need them to play spoiler next year if we are to get to the rose bowl. Then beat them in the apple cup.
I hate the fucking cougs. But the WAC shit is below you Roadie!
