Cougs take the Palouse to Manhattan for a Saturday morning showdown
Saturday morning in Manhattan means an early alarm, a full thermos, and the Palouse in the rearview. The Cougs are headed to the Little Apple for a showdown that kicks off before most folks have finished their first cup of coffee. That is exactly how we like it. No messing around. No waiting for the East Coast to wake up on its own schedule. We bring the offense, we bring the noise, and we bring a whole lot of maroon into a stadium that probably does not know what hit it. This is the kind of trip that reminds you why you love this team. It is not just about the away-game wins or the highlight catches. It is about the bus ride, the tailgate in a parking lot that smells like sausage and optimism, and the feeling that you are carrying a little bit of Pullman with you across the country. The Cougs have been busy lately, too. If you missed the weekend in Seattle, you might want to check out "Cougs pack the bags for three in Seattle" to see how this squad handles the road. And for those keeping score at home, the hitters have been on a tear. They hammered out a season-best 61 kills in the last big one and still needed every single one of them. That is the kind of depth that travels. So yeah, it is early.
