Ruining a season destined for Coug Lore

bananasnblondes

Let's look at the timeline:
-Even before the season, the Hilinski tragedy clouds the season
-picked near the bottom of the pac (they might even lose to Wyoming)
-no one knows who will be QB. First depth chart doesn't name a starter
-enter a scrappy kid who lost his job at ECU and is looking for a place to close out his career
- he has an ironic moustache and wears a headband like the guy from that movie. How fun and Wazzu-y
-Gee, the cougs are off to a good start. Who would have thougt. This qb is putting up some big numbers.
-HOLY SHIT. GAMEDAY IS COMING TO PULLMAN!!!111!!!
-Cougs smash the Ducks in front of the world
-Heroic comebacks against Utah and Stanford led by goofy moustache guy. Murmurs of outside shot at Heisman and/or college playoffs. Coug fans everywhere with moustaches. Isnt this fun and so Wazzu-y?
-the arch nemesis comes to town who has beaten WSU 5 straight times. Pac 12 north, rose bowl, etc. On the line
- HOLY SHIT. IT'S SNOW BOWL 2!!!!!11!! I REMEMBER SNOW BOWL 1. IT'S DESTINY

and then it all ends with moustache tears, Lake talking shit, and fans complaining about how things would have been different if it didnt snow.

So very satisfying.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I can’t tell you how many “neutral” fans I encountered who were pulling for the cougs because they “deserved it” this year, and a bunch of other bullshit platitudes. As if their QB killing himself somehow gave them the moral right to this game. Fuck that faux-storybook bullshit. I’m glad we shut down this Tom Rinaldi emotion porn before it really materialized into anything worth a shit.
