Stefanie Loh introduces herself to Washington State and Gonzaga fans
LEWISTON, Idaho — Everyone knows Bud Withers.
That’s the first thing I’ve learned through my first three days as the Seattle Times’ newest college sports reporter.
I’m the lucky gal who gets to follow in the footsteps of a guy who, it seems, earned the friendship, admiration and respect of just about every person tangentially affiliated with Washington State or college athletics on the West Coast.
Bud was an institution unto himself, and he’s probably forgotten more about WSU and Gonzaga sports history than I will ever learn in my lifetime.
