WSU aims for victory over Tigers, Ducks in 2013

Washington State athletic director Bill Moos has taken a very active approach as he nears one full year on the job at his alma mater.  After Jim Sterk left for San Diego State, Moos was one of the only candidates to seek out employment from the university that has suffered through some historically bad seasons in football in the last couple of years. 

But Moos has been very vocal about his belief in the ability to turn the Cougars' results around on the field, and he has been making efforts to assist with that process off the field.  He has met with the families of recruits and is currently campaigning for a stadium expansion and brand-new football operations facility. 

He has enough faith in the improvements to boldly predict Washington State victories over both Auburn and Oregon in 2013.

"I expect to beat both of them," Moos said about facing the title game's participants at a general staff meeting.  Pretty bold statement for a program that dropped from historic highs in the early 2000's to becoming the butt of most Pac-10/Pac-12 football jokes by the end of the decade.  Moos believes that the key to changing the program will be with recruiting, and shedding the "underdog" culture. 

New facilities and upgrading the stadium is one way to re-energize the fan base and team, but there will have to be on-field results in order to really see any dramatic change in recruiting.  Moos may just be talking boldly to build confidence, or he really could be so blinded by his own optimism he fails to see the gap between Washington State and Auburn/Oregon.  But that kind of blind optimism may be just what the Cougars need to turn things around.

 

You keep dreaming, baby.

I actually had forgotten about the other half of the contract with WSU.  I had a really good time with their fans that came down and look forward to going there.

So you are saying...AU has a return trip to Pulman?...and you will be in attendance?  I did not know we had a return trip scheduled.

I remember when we played the opening game with them back in 06 that it was supposed to be a two game contract with a game to be named later.  I guess it has been named.

And yes that will be my big road trip for the year in addition to the national championship.

You fuckers start getting your kitchen passes now.

I am emailing the Athletic department to confirm now.

I remember originally, the talk was to have the game in Seattle.  I assume that's not the case after all.

Seattle is an easier drive.

Suck it up Nancy boy. 

Come to think of it why in the hell have we not been invited to your place yet?

[Saniflush]

Seems to be a big question right now where it will be.  Like they may be coming back to Auburn. 
Sent an email to the athletic department.

Some of the golf outing and bball outing stories posted on here may provide an answer to your question.

I extend an invitation to anyone on this board willing to travel the distance.
