Yesterday was a special day for our football program, but even more special to me was to see my 7 year old niece get to go home after 38 days in the hospital after a stroke. She has shown me what TRUE strength and courage is all about. We love you Jana!!!

Just want to say thank you for everyone that showed up in LA to support the team. It was awesome to see former COUG greats on the SL. And if you weren’t there we felt your passion from afar and will be back ready to attack another week.

Can’t wait to HONOR the ‘97 team this weekend at homecoming for their PAC-10 Championship and the unbelievable Rose Bowl Game. Excited to hear the stories and share the passion of being a COUG!!!
Did not know Coach Leach personally but know his IMPACT goes way beyond football. 🙏 up to his family, friends and everyone that feels his loss today. Forever a COUG.
Just want to say how much our program appreciates everyone that came out and supported this football team last night. Not the result we wanted but I know the heart of this team. We have 4 opportunities left to prove who we can be.
COUGS WIN❗️WSU comes from behind to beat Drake and advances to the NCAA Second Round! Isaac Jones with the first double-double in WSU's NCAA Tournament history. Survive and advance!

MIKE LEACH ON EMBRACING HARD
"Nothing is really fun unless it's hard ...
You're pushing yourself. All of a sudden you're making great plays.
You're doing things that you've never done before...
Never hope that it's easy."
