[Vision2020] As a resident of the Palouse

LOL - what a bunch of whiners!

 

Does anyone know why, if they could charter a jet to fly to into Spokane,
they couldn't fly into Pullman?  Is their chartered jet bigger than the jets
that are allowed to fly into Pullman or what?

Cougars Notebook: Palouse trip portrayed as purgatory


Bruins, L.A. media complain about Pullman journey


By HOWIE STALWICK
SPECIAL TO THE P-I

PULLMAN -- The UCLA Bruins were upset in Pullman in more ways than one last
weekend.
Los Angeles-area newspapers, aided and abetted by UCLA players, made the
Bruins' trip to Washington State sound only slightly less challenging than
the Bataan Death March. Interestingly, all this took place before UCLA's
27-7 loss.
According to the Los Angeles Times, a trip to Pullman is a "long journey to
the middle of a vast nothingness called the Palouse, where fans have a
pitchforks-and-torches mentality."
For the record, UCLA's trip consisted of a 2 1/2-hour flight to Spokane in a
cushy charter jet, followed by a two-hour ride in cushy charter buses,
followed by an overnight stay in a cushy hotel 15 minutes from the stadium. 
"That two-hour drive is a beast," offensive guard Shannon Tevega told The
Riverside Press-Enterprise. "I woke up about three times asking if we were
there yet."
Tailback Chris Markey told the Los Angeles Daily News that games at
Washington State are "crazy. To me, it's one of the hardest places to play.
The crowd is so into the game, and every time they get a first down, you
hear, 'It's another Cougar first down.' That can get into a player's mind."
Wow. That is tough. Almost as tough as a two-hour drive ... to go 10 miles
on an L.A. freeway.
