Two alums at the game ...







WSU Cougars 20
Hawaii Warriors 38
09/12/09
Qwest Field

There was a time just 5 or 6 years ago when the Cougar D shut down Heisman Trophy winners. The D would give the O a chance to beat teams like USC or Texas. Our O had three straight starting QB's head to NFL camps ...

Now, we can't shut down the Hawaii offense or keep up with teams we should be crushing. The upper deck was full the first few years at Qwest, now there is a lot of blue showing through ...

I know the new coaching staff need a few more seasons to sort this all out, but the kinds of mistakes and simply poor fundamentals in regards to things like tackling is troubling. I have stated that we are in year 2 of 3 really bad years and I still consider Wulff to be a good long-term fit for the Cougs in principle ... but this was just hard to watch, even with the little come back we did.

It was good to take my son and a UH alum to the game with my brother, especially since this was the payoff for last year's bowl bet.

Win or lose, we go and cheer.

Go Cougs!
