Stadium Stories: Washington State Cougars by Bud Withers

From Barnes & Noble

The Washington State Cougars have never won a national football championship (although fans argue convincingly that they deserved the honors in 1915), but you'd never know it from the hooting and shouting of Wazzu loyalists. Bud Withers's Stadium Stories Washington State Cougars recaptures over a dozen highpoints in the team's storied history.

From the Publisher

Thrilling victories, crushing defeats, comical mishaps, and colorful coaches, players, and fans—these are the legendary moments and larger-than-life personalities that have made the Washington State Cougars a gridiron favorite.

Rueben Mayes, who ran for a record 573 yards over two games in October 1984
WSU’s glorious campaigns to get into the 1997 and 2002 Rose Bowls
The Cougars’ annual Apple Cup war with their cross-state archrivals, the Huskies
