Iconic Washington State Cougars broadcaster Bob Robertson died on Sunday at age 91, and in the 24 hours since the news broke of his passing, others have eulogized him far better than I ever could.
By the time I became a Coug in 1995, Robertson already had been in the booth in Pullman for 31 years. Growing up on the west side, I really had very little idea who he was.
In fact, I wasn’t even a Coug yet when I met Robertson for the first time.
In the fall of 1994, my journalism adviser, Vince DeMiero, took me to campus on what amounted a recruiting trip for WSU.
