    The airport is also sometimes used by Boeing 737 charter planes delivering college sports teams.

    The larger planes have larger wingspans, which makes it impossible to use the existing runway and taxiway at the same time. That is a violation of FAA rules, and the airport is operating under an FAA waiver that allows operations to continue only while a solution is being pursued, Bean said.

    -snip-
    The new runway is expected to cost some $100 million, the vast majority paid by federal funds.
    Sending WSU down to the WAC seems like a much cheaper solution.

    If doogs really were coogs there would be protests going on at this grotesque waste of public money when this solution is simple and makes sense. There's be lobbyists and online petitions and flag waving parties and whatnot.

    But doogs are just coogs who don't care as much, so meh.

    If Payy MurrayCoug can't get WSU $100,000,000 in federal funds from Obama's DOT to rebuild WSU's campus... In the vision of the late great Elson Floyd... Why does Paul Allen keep her in Congress?

    so bulldozing the university so that a different university's players can play your university is the challenge... this feels like a sleight of hand trick.

    What's wrong with Lewiston Airport? Only 35 miles away from Martin Stadium.

    If they expanded Lewiston instead, WSU wont get $100,000,000 in Federal transportation dollars to rebuild their campus

    Nothing.

    Make sure you go 2nd Saturday in February (half way between Moscow and Lewiston) and go to Genesee Crab Feed.

    Disagree. Pullman has 2.5 black residents after all.

    WSU vs Cal was on replay today. I watched the final five minutes. WSU sacked Goff and forced a fumble on the Cal 10. Two WSU DL didn't notice the ball just sitting there and instead opted to dive at Goff's corpse. A Cal OL then recovered. Score: 28-34, Cal facing a 3rd and 36 on their own 10. WSU prime for a monster comeback win. Dykes calls standard 3rd-and-forever draw play. RB runs for 37 yards. Ballgame.

    LOL

    I totally forgot about that play.

    so... your saying... WSU was one choke play vs. Cal and one 'stunning upset' from Portland State away from being an 11 win team last year?

    ... and people want to claim the Pac-12 north is tuff?

    The real question is, why stop at just 40?

    There are over 40 buildings in Pullman? When did this happen?

    First thing Butt Pirate noted when he got here was that we were seriously lacking depth in our shed game.
