Good morning and happy new year! The last day of 2021 saw our Washington State Cougars see their all-time Sun Bowl record fall to 2-1 after a 24-21 defeat at the hands of the Central Michigan Chippewas. The Cougs’ valiant effort fell short, literally, at least according to the officials and nobody else. But I digress.
The game marked an end to a roller coaster of the season, both on the field and off. It also marked the end of a roller coaster of a week, what with WSU not knowing its opponent shortly after arriving in El Paso.
