One of the greatest things the 2015 Washington State Cougars accomplished was convincing all of us who have been scarred by the past decade of football that it was OK to believe.
It was OK to believe that this team really was as good as it looked -- to believe that it wasn't a illusion.
Beating good teams on the road (Oregon, UCLA) ... coming within a field goal at the gun of beating a top 10 team ... handling bad teams (OSU, Colorado, Arizona) ... coming back from an early deficit against a pretty decent team (ASU) .
