Q&A
So excited for the next two years that I'm here! Go Cougs! Go Leach!
Isn't Ralphie a female buffalo?
God dammit I miss you Leach... May Hance and Meyers forever burn for what they did to us.
Too many mascots in our conference have guns for this analogy to work.
I just realized something: all of our mascots are violent, except for Bama, but a Tide could drown you, and the name comes from them swarming another team in a game.
Tigers, Tigers, Razorbacks (hogs are mean and dangerous), Wildcats, Gators, Bulldogs, Cocks, Volunteers (with guns), Rebels, Bulldogs, and Commodores (he carries a sword). And now we're adding another Tiger school (referencing the Civil War). I guess the Aggies are just kind of on their own.
He's so damn likeable.
"Do you want to fight a Buffalo?"
No Pirate Leach I do not. But Trojans aren't mythical. We are famous for losing because of a wooden horse, and condoms. So there.
Extinct was probably the word he was looking for.
Edit: Long live The Pirate.
Well that and our mascot is not the Trojans. It's Traveler.
explain, please...

Technically our mascot is the white horse Traveler. But ever since an article way back in the day said "we fought like trojans" in some game that I actually think we lost, the name kinda stuck.
Yes while this is technically true, most people identify us as the trojans.
You guys really need to go back to the "Fighting Methodists."
Goddammit Mike Leach; I'm not supposed to like you this much.
You can't help it. In the Big XII he was likeable too. Heck, Tech students still love the guy.
If we could get him back, we would fire whatshisface in a second.
Edit: Tubby. That's his name.
You say that like they have a reason not too.
I miss having Leach in the Big 12.
Not as much as Tech grads do.
To make a correction, the Utes mascot is actually a red-tailed hawk. Still no match for a PAC-12 cougar, but it does absolutely dominate the wimpy Provo cougars with ease.
No way the Golden Bear wouldn't destroy all non-human mascots in the conference
orly?
Edit: You said "non-human." My bad.
Grizzly Bear vs. Cougar. The cougar is faster, the bear is stronger. The result is the cougar can hit the bear at will and do some minor damage, but the bear can hit nothing but air, so the bear retreats.
Just sayin.
Mike Leach is the best. I was absolutely mad that the Canes didn't chose him. He's still my dream hire. The things he would do at Miami would be amazing. But we have Al Golden and I'm rooting for Leach to succeed. I would love nothing more than for Leach to hold that crystal ball. Due to the fact about Jamesgate.
This guy is hilarious. Here's hoping he puts together some decent teams in the next few years that make the trek for reporters to Wazzu worth it.
Gotta wonder if both Rich Rod in Arizona AND Leach in Pullman can be succesful in the Pac-12 with so many other programs light years ahead of them in regards to facilities, talent, and location. Definitely pulling for Leach.
Hey now, we have modern facilities and a squad of guys that were 9th in offense in the FBS.
No offense to Pullman my man! I'm rooting for them to take that new Pac-12 TV deal and get back into relevance. I played with a few guys who played for Wazzu 10 years ago and definitely root for them. Go cougs!
None taken, good sir. Pullman, as a city, is pretty much a shithole.
Press box should be done by September, the end zone for the 2014 season (I think).
Still a humble abode, but meets our needs.
Arizona's new facilities will be done by 2013 season.
TIL Trojans may have been mythical.
you guys have no idea how excited everyone got here when the deal was announced. hell, after Paul Wulff, anyone could make students and alumni excited
He's got this all wrong. Beaver gnaws down Stanford Tree. Golden Bear mauls the Bruin for stealing their mascot and colors. Husky breaks the neck of Duck thinking that they're playing. Trojan does not put on a Trojan, and then nails slutty Sun Devil. Sun Devil then gets pregnant and is thus incapacitated. Wildcat mauls Sun Devil. Trojan then hunts the Wildcat. In a hunting spree, Trojan then un-sustainably hunts Buffalo, thereby pissing off Ute. Ute, in a fit of rage, scalps Trojan. Husky breaks the neck of Beaver, thinking that they're playing. Ute headshots Golden Bear with a fucking atlatl. Cougar then stalks Ute. Ute sees Husky and notices how cute he is. Husky then starts barking toward crouching Cougar, preparing to attack the Ute. Ute reacts and headshots Cougar with a fucking atlatl. Ute and Husky become friends. As Ute ages he becomes bedridden. Husky then breaks his neck, thinking that they're playing.
Husky rules the galaxy.
what tree? you can't chew a color.
Stanford tree is the unofficial mascot
you know what? i won't argue this anymore since i get lost when it comes to what defines a mascot.
Yeah, it gets a little odd with our color/tree situation. Still probably better off in the long run than being the Stanford Indians, though. I wish the admin would have gone with Robber Barons.
my gf went to stanford; she was pissed that "robber barons" was ignored in preference of cardinal.
that mascot couldve had an awesome moustache, perhaps the best in all the land.
An atlatl can't kill anything - it just adds acceleration to a dart/spear, which helps the dart/spear kill something.
The question always comes down to Speed v Power, Cougar or the Bear?
I miss his post game press conferences. I wish him luck up in Pac country.
Yeah, he was always a hoot. (Remember the "fat girlfriends" post game? Fantastic)
That or the one where he was excusing a loss from A&M because they had swords.
Bah! Politically-motivated answer!
Any fair-minded observer knows the Golden Bear walks away with this one no problem. Bastards weigh a ton. Literally.
And then this happens.
I don't think he can handle a Bruin towel-waver.
And that's not saying much.
