The City of Pullman is going all out to ensure that the first “College GameDay” visit to Washington State is a success.
According to Pullman Radio, the city has declared an emergency in order to prepare for the influx of fans into town ahead of Saturday’s sold out game between the 25th-ranked Cougars and No. 12 Oregon. The decision, approved by the city council Tuesday night, “allows Pullman Transit buses to help move fans around campus on Saturday.”

So sad, but true.
I think that’s catching at UW.
Game Day was at Eugene Oregon a few weeks ago. Now at OR/ Wash St game.
The Ducks are heating up this year.
GO DUCKS!!
HERBERT FOR HEISMAN!!

OMG that place was such a dive in the 70’s.
Heh. I went to Pullman in ‘73 to visit one of my friends and we went there one night. Drinking age was 18 in Idaho. For a lot of reasons that was a good night. :)
I haven’t thought about that place in decades...because of the drinking age, a lot of freshman girls from WSU would go there to party on those terrible watered-down sweet drinks...I remember two things clearly...girls puking those drinks up inside and outside in the parking lot, and less drunk girls being very aggressive about hunting guys down for extra activities.
and a small one at that.
I missed out on all the fun. That is what you get for going to a smallish selective liberals arts college. But I have zero game so I would have probably struck out anyway.
You went to school right at the high point of debauchery and fun. I went to school a few years later and it was AIDS, and safe sex. Now it is #MeToo, needing a signed notarized document, and video recording.
Team effort.
Yep. It was a good night. And like nothing I’d ever seen before.
I actually made it back to Washington with several cases of Coors. That was when it was illegal in Washington so it was sweet forbidden fruit. And my being only 19 at the time made it feel even sweeter. :)
...reshman girls from WSU would go there to party on those terrible watered-down sweet drinks...
In the long haul it was not all it was cracked up to be, and not exactly safe even in those days of the 70’s. Fortunately such times don’t really last long, a body is not made to do much of that.
I remember as well that Coors was not sold in Washington back then. Another memory I had forgotten about...why we thought that it was so special is pretty funny looking back on it now.
As per Wiki
In 1961, Pullman became a non-chartered code city under the Mayor-Council form of government. The city has an elected mayor with an elected seven-member council and an appointed administrative officer, the city supervisor.
That community college good ole boy from Mississippi who signed on with the Cougs after the suicide of their young quarterback last year is leading the country in passing yards and there’s Heisman talk being mentioned. What a story. WSU is the best team in the PAC 12. Let’s hope they keep it up and beats the Huskies in the Apple Cup! Go Cougs!
