After reading the article, "Our Blood Runs Crimson", by our lovely Kristen Fischer last week, I figured I'd show a different take on being a Coug!
So here are some ways that you can spot one of us die-hard Cougs. Or if you are one, here are some things were all guilty of...
1. You call Pullman "The Promise land".
2. You have more date dash shirts than actual clothes.
3. You consider Thursday night to be part of the weekend (or for some of us, it starts on Wino/Wings Wednesday).
4. You take a picture or Snapchat of the "Go Cougs" barn every time you drive past it.
5. You yell "GO COUGS" at anyone you see wearing any Coug gear... or Huskies... or for no reason at all.
6. You still wear next-to-nothing, even if there's snow on the ground.
7. Every time you see a Coug license plate or sticker, you point it out to everyone in the car.
8. You have a special section in your closet or drawers for your exchange costumes... unless you're a guy, then you just turn your regular clothes into makeshift outfits (you aren't foolin' us).
9. You consider watching people slip on ice on the mall as a favorite past time of yours.
10. You go to the dunes to make sun-filled memories with your friends...only to remember nothing.
11. You've taken Dirty 230 just to laugh your a** off/get an easy A.
12. You consider Cougar Football Saturdays heaven on earth.
13. You've been called a SHACKER.
14. You've walked to the rec and pushed the crosswalk button a thousand times, just to hear the "WAIT" voice.
15. You've harassed freshmen to use their RDA, or have been the harassed freshman.
16. You go to Cabo for Spring Break (it's a must).
17. You've done unforgivable things in Holland Terrell Library.
18. Blue Powerade from Mcdonalds is your life-savior.
19. You campaign to get asked on Monopoly, any camp trip, Canada Trip, or any of the other infamous date dashes.
20. Going to programming is like going into the chokey, unless its sexual wellness of course.
21. Your PC page is filled with embarrassing pictures, videos, and some occasional uplifting posts.
22. You've seen a Lambda in Chubbies or Sperrys.
23. You hate your advisor and have them on speed dial.
24. You can't sleep because the neighboring frat is blasting music till 4 a.m.
25. Monarch is a house hold name.
26. Mom's and Dad's weekends are the best weekends of the year.
27. Dominos... 'nough said.
28. Apple Cup is like a holiday in itself, and that 31-28 win two years ago is unforgettable.
29. You make the trek to Mike's for your 21 run...or try.
30. Lastly, you dread leaving our perfect little town and count down the days till we return.
