Dvorak gets the Pac-12 nod, and Pullman nods right back
Dvorak gets the Pac-12 nod, and Pullman nods right back. That's the kind of recognition that lands different when you've spent a Saturday in Beasley, watching a kid grind through a doubleheader while the wind is doing things to the flags that physics shouldn't allow. The conference saw what we saw. Good. This isn't a participation ribbon, and nobody in this town hands those out anyway.
The Cougs are building something, and the conference schedule is where it shows. We already covered the start of that run in "Cougs Start Pac-12 Right: Clean Sweep Over Fresno State", a weekend that reminded everyone what clean baseball looks like when the Palouse lets you have a nice day. That piece is worth your time if you want to relive the sweep before the next pitch.
Pullman notices the small things. The guy who shags foul balls with his kid. The postgame handshake that lasts a beat too long. Dvorak getting a conference nod is a reminder that the people grinding in the background are the ones who keep this thing real. No flash. No hype. Just work.
So tip your cap to the kid. Then get ready for the next series. Go Cougs.
