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.
