it’s a clear autumn morning when you and thousands of other

Cougars begin your journey. It may begin in Seattle, Spokane,

the Tri-Cities, Portland/Vancouver, or all points in between. The

destination is the same.

Along the way, you will see the iconic “Go Cougs” shed along Highway

26, or perhaps Coug Guys and Gals Waving The Flag along Highway

195. If you’re traveling from the Spokane area, you may divert from

195 to the recently-branded Cougar Corridor, a joint partnership

between WSU Athletics and the cities of Rosalia, Oakesdale, Garfield

and Palouse along State Route 271 and Highway 27.

As you draw closer, the rolling hills of the Palouse come into view, as

well as the ever-increasing sight of the beloved Cougarhead logo.

When you arrive at your destination, the streets are lined with Cougar

flags waving and the logo displayed on every street corner. Cougars

all around greet you with a “Go Cougs” because you share a common

bond with them.

You head to campus and make your way to the Cougar Pride statue.

There, you feel the excitement and can see the many positive changes

surrounding Cougar Athletics. The renovated facilities, the renewed

enthusiasm of the RV lots, the welcome signs that have replaced the

rules signs, and the pride that has engulfed Cougar fans from across

the Pacific Northwest.

Cougar Football Gameday is more than the game. It is a reunion of

friends and family, a celebration of all things Cougar that has seen a

rebirth of Cougar fans and their commitment five times each fall. It

is also a destination with improved amenities such as premium seating

in Martin Stadium, Cougville, The Cougar Den and a play area for

kids have been added. Festivities are happening everywhere you

turn on campus, whether it’s at the RV lots, the CUB, Hollingbery

Fieldhouse, or Rogers Field, just to name a few.

Finally, kickoff is approaching and you make your way to Martin

Stadium. You immediately view improved facilities that rival the best

in the country, knowing your commitment to Cougar Athletics played

a role in their existence.

Welcome to Pullman. Welcome to Gameday at Washington State.

Welcome home. n

it’s the cost of a 16-ounce latte, or if you prefer, two 16-ounce

coffees.

That’s how much investment per month is required to be a member

of the Cougar Athletic Fund. More than 6,000 Cougars have stepped

up to make that investment: a minimum contribution of $50 a year,

or just over $4 per month. By doing so, they are making a positive

difference in the lives of our nearly 450 student-athletes.

These Cougars have turned their passion for Washington State Ath-

letics into participation in, and ultimately ownership of, the suc-

cesses our student-athletes enjoy in the classroom and athletic arena.

“I’m very fortunate that I was able to receive a scholarship and I’m

thankful for that,” says David Knuff, a professor in the College of

Business, past football player (1992-96) and current CAF member. “I

was so lucky and so grateful for the opportunities that I had, that a

lot of people don’t have.

“In order to make that a realization for other student-athletes, it’s

going to take support from people like myself,” adds Knuff. “I don’t

know if I would be here today if I didn’t get a scholarship. I don’t know

if I would have finished college. I truly don’t know.”

More and more Cougars have stepped up, or have “skin in the game,”

as Director of Athletics Bill Moos frequently says. At the end of the

2012 fiscal year, the Cougar Athletic Fund added nearly 2,000 new

members and jumped from $2.6 million to $4.7 million in contribu-

tions.

But much more is needed.

“My goal is to see that our costs for scholarships are met by our

annual giving program,” states Moos. “It is essential because if I have

to subsidize the scholarship number, I will have to do so by taking

money away from other areas and that’s most probably facility en-

hancements and recruiting budgets.”

During the last fiscal year, the scholarship expense to pay for the

nearly 450 student-athletes to attend WSU was $8.1 million. Subtract-

ing the $4.7 million figure leaves a gap of $3.4 million. That amount

of money, which otherwise would have been directed to other areas

of need in the department, was directed to scholarship expense.

And those expenses are ever-increasing.

“Scholarship costs are going up every year,” says Cougar quarterback

legend Jack Thompson. “We need the support of all Cougs to help

fund that. I was a direct beneficiary of the good works of very kind

alums that enabled me to get a scholarship.

“Those needs haven’t changed; they’ve only grown.“

The more than 6,000 members of the Cougar Athletic Fund have

answered the call. If just half that number recruited one new member,

WSU Athletics would immediately exceed the conference average

in terms of number of members, and narrow, if not eliminate, the

scholarship expense gap.

“I am ready to have skin in the game and support this university’s

athletic program,” says WSU alum and former ESPN anchor Cindy

Brunson. “Our student-athletes need our help. I learned along the

way that if everybody who graduated from WSU in the state of Wash-

ington only donated $50, 5-0, think about what you blow on coffee

during a year, every athlete would be taken care of, and the fund

would be operating at a surplus.

“It’s that easy.” n

Without question the Cougar logo is the

most recognizable in collegiate athlet-

ics and serves as the focal point of the

Washington State brand. The branding

of Washington State Athletics has taken on greater

significance in the past three years and will continue

to be a focal point of the department moving forward.

The brand, however, embodies so much more. It is a

feeling of togetherness, of sharing a special bond

developed through commitment, loyalty and being

part of the team. It is visual, adorning apparel and

memorabilia across the globe, emblazoned on all

Washington State competitive uniforms with the

distinctive logo, colors and fonts. It is reflected in the

halls of the Bohler Athletic Complex, throughout the

renovated Martin Stadium, in competitive venues and

practice facilities, vividly honoring Cougar legends

and the many contributions fans and students have

made to past successes and will make for future ones.

It is emotional, evoking memories of great games,

historic wins and legendary performances from

Cougars of all eras and teams. And it provides a sense

of belonging, a feeling of family that cannot be

matched. From any place on earth, seeing a Cougar

logo elicits the phrase, “Go Cougs!”

Over the past few years Cougars all over the world

have Waved The Flag for their support of Washington

State Athletics. From snorkeling on the Great Barrier

Reef to standing over the ruins of Machu Picchu, the

Cougar brand has seen a resurgence. It comes in

weekly doses on the ESPN College GameDay set,

showing its head at the world’s premier sporting

events, or when passing another Cougar in airports

while wearing crimson and gray. It provides an im-

mediate bond, one that harkens back to a small eastern

Washington region and reminds everyone who has

experienced the joy of Washington State University

that the phrase, “Once A Coug, Always A Coug,” never

rings more true. n

it has been said that athletics is the window to the university. If so,

no view from the outside is more reassuring to a fan base than

seeing spectacular, state-of-the-art athletic facilities. Fans looking

at Washington State are beginning to see just that – shiny, new

facilities that glow as a beacon of Cougar Pride while serving as a

vivid reminder that Washington State is an elite university. Since 2010,

Cougar Athletics has committed more than $160 million in facility

enhancements, including renovations to Beasley Coliseum and men’s

and women’s basketball practice facilities, the Simmelink Tennis

Courts at Hollingbery Fieldhouse, and the centerpiece of WSU’s

athletic facilities, the Cougar Football Project at Martin Stadium.

“It is important that the new revenue realized by the Pac-12 television

agreement be invested in the future of our program. A significant

part of our blueprint for creating a competitive and sustainable

Building To Win

“a successful athletic program requires a strong relationship between teams, coaches, and fans.”

intercollegiate athletic program centers around facility enhance-

ments. The challenge has been a competitive disadvantage in ath-

letic facilities when compared to other members in the Pac-12 and

throughout the country. There are roughly $1 billion in facility proj-

ects that have been completed or are nearing completion through-

out the conference, and we can’t be left behind. Our recent facility

projects have closed that gap and serve as a major magnet for the

most talented student-athletes in the country,” says Director of

Athletics, Bill Moos.

Competition venues and training facilities are the lifeblood to suc-

cessful recruiting. Recent projects have not only energized current

and former student-athletes, fans and alumni, they have provided

a visual for potential recruits who look to realize their athletic and

academic dreams at the collegiate level. And we are not close to

being finished. Upcoming projects include a clubhouse and aca-

demic center at Bailey-Brayton Field, an Indoor Training Facility that

would benefit all sports, along with a new competitive surface and

lights at Lower Soccer Field. n

since 2003, the Washington State Cougars Flag, bearing the

iconic Cougar logo, has proudly waved on ESPN GameDay.

The alumni and fans who participate in this weekly endeavor

have Waved The Flag for 130 consecutive shows and are going

strong heading into the 2013 season.

These flag wavers are the embodiment of the commitment, spirit,

pride, and love all of us possess for Washington State University. For

the past three years WSU Athletics has recognized the importance

of our fans and included them in a number of branding efforts, includ-

ing football and basketball ticket stock, fan posters, online fan voting

for homecoming uniforms, as well as a host of other activities.

Events such as Spokane Week and Seattle Week have blossomed

over the past three years, with more and more activities being taken

to these cities as a way to engage fans and for them to give back, to

belong and to be part of the team. It is one of the many ways we can

thank fans for their commitment and involvement in Cougar Athletics.

It has grown beyond WSU Athletics as we have seen grassroot efforts make

headlines, such as Coug Guys & Gals lining Highway 195 each mile from Spokane

to Pullman two years ago, or the Cougar Cruiser canvassing the state in the

summer of 2012. These were WSU students taking it upon themselves to support

the teams and lead the way, to bring awareness to Cougar Athletics, and to do

so in a manner that reflects the pride of being a Cougar fan.

Passion for Cougar Athletics is undeniable and Waving The Flag means some-

thing different to each person. It may be a Cougar Athletic Fund member at-

tending events throughout the state, or a season ticket holder renewing tickets,

or a student waving the flag in front of the Great Wall of China. However differ-

ent the expression may be, it has one thing in common. Those who Wave The

Flag demonstrate their undeniable passion for the Washington State Cougars.
