Well, it is back to the drawing board for all of us with the Wildcat Football Team. Oregon State came in here this past Saturday and beat us 29-27.
Once again, the equipment staff did a great job of having the team prepared. We now look forward to our second road trip of the season, this time to Pullman, Washington. The truck will leave Wednesday after practice, so we have a short turn around time to get everything ready.
I always look forward to this trip, as I spent some of the best years of my life living and working in Pullman. I still have family and friends there in Pullman and I look forward to getting to see them, even if it is only for a few hours.
My brother, Milton, is the head equipment manager for the Cougars and he and his staff do a GREAT job. Milton and I were able to work together at WSU for about 7 years in the football equipment room. He is without a doubt one of the best equipment managers in the business and I learned so much from him while we were able to work together. Those wonderful years were topped off by a Rose Bowl game against the Michigan Wolverines on January 1, 1998, it was our last game together.
Our 3 children call Pullman home, and all 3 of them will be there in Pullman when I arrive this Friday! With my wife on the trip too, it will be a family reunion!
