Cougs welcome Montana State to Pullman for Senior Day send-off
Senior Day in Pullman hits different when you're sending the seniors out against a team that actually came to play. Montana State rolls into Martin Stadium this Saturday, and the Cougs have a chance to give this class a proper send-off. It's not just about the farewells, though. Montana State brings a physical brand of football that tends to wake you up if you've been coasting. The Bobcats won't care about the ceremony. They'll want to hit somebody. That's exactly the kind of game a senior class should get, one where you have to earn the moment. If you've been following along, you know we've been tracking Cougs wherever they show up. Our Week 6 NFL check-in found former Cougs making plays across the league, and that same pipeline is what makes Senior Day feel bigger than one afternoon. These guys leaving the program are heading somewhere. The work they put in on the Palouse doesn't stop when the caps and gowns come out. So yeah, there will be parents, probably some tears, and definitely a few hits that rattle the bleachers. That's Pullman in November. That's Cougar football. Go Cougs.
Soccer seniors get their flowers one last time on Sunday
Sunday afternoon, the Cougar soccer seniors walked onto the field at the Soccer Stadium for the last time. Senior Day is one of those traditions that hits different when you've spent four years watching bus rides and early morning lifts. It's not just the flowers. It's the moment you realize the next bus ride isn't yours. The team sent the class off the right way, and the crowd made sure they felt it. You don't get a lot of last chances in Pullman. You get the ones you earn. These seniors earned theirs. If you missed the preview of this weekend, go back and read "Cougs welcome Montana State to Pullman for Senior Day send-off." It sets the table for why this match meant a little more than the regular season grind. We don't do the whole "what's next for them" thing here. That's their story to write. But we will say this: a Coug who shows up for four years in that jersey leaves with more than a degree. They leave with the Palouse in their bones. Go Cougs.
