Colorado trip starts with a familiar stop for the Cougs
The Cougs are hitting the road for Colorado, and it starts where so many Pullman trips do: a familiar stop that feels like part of the ritual before you even leave the state. There is comfort in that. You know the drill. Gas up, grab something that will survive the backseat, and settle in for the long haul across the dry side of things. It is not glamorous, but it is ours.
This team has been grinding, and the early season has shown some real fight. If you have been following along with our check-in on Cougs in the League, you know the alumni are putting in work too. Week 5 brought some solid moments for the former Palouse ballers making noise out there. Good to see.
But back to this trip. Colorado is a different kind of challenge. Altitude changes everything. The air gets thin, the ball moves different, and the other team is not going to cut you slack because you drove ten hours to get there. That is fine. Cougs have never needed the easy path.
Keep an eye on how this one opens. The first few possessions will tell you if the bus legs wore off. If they come out sharp, this could be a statement. If not, it is a long ride home. Either way, we are watching.
Go Cougs.
