never really liked that Andy Grammer song that has become the Coug anthem. I thought it was corny and lame and not a very threatening song to play at football games. However, last Saturday, surrounded by a crowd of students for the first time in well over a year, I finally got it.
The crowd felt the music. Swaying back and forth with the beat, singing in the most hoarse, half-drunk voices imaginable. This was even though a solid half of the students there have not even seen a game in the student section before. WSU has that power over people; no matter how new the tie to the campus might be or how long we’ve been away from the teams we love, being a Coug is intrinsic to who you are.
