Welcome to Week TEN of our annual gambling experiment. While we’ve done better of late, the Cougs definitely have not, as we mused about last week. But now the calendar has turned, and while WSU had the most forgettable of Octobers, hopefully November is one to remember.
That makes think of the dearly departed Gordon Lightfoot, and his hit The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. In our case, the song could be called The Wreck of the Good Ship Wazzu, after what we’ve endured the last five weeks.
That good ship Wazzu blocked and tackled so true
When the Ls of November came earlyAnd the Air Raid doth go as Ben Arbuckle knows
With the gales of November rememberedThe Pac-12 they’ve all said is now practically dead
And its killers are called George and LarryGordon, you will always be one of the greatest.
