CAF coaches lunches in Spokane
- Thread starter COUGinNCW
- Start date
They've been doing them all season. A different assistant each week. Leach does one or so a year.
That’s what I’ve seen as well. I had work obligations on Mondays last year but would be able to get to them on most Mondays now.
They got rid of them, I think the expense wasn't worth what they were bringing in. Which sucks, because I enjoyed going to them.
The Spokane CAF coaches luncheons, which in previous years were weekly, were reduced to once a month and only from August through November. The only CAF events in Spokane now are the National Signing Day Party at Northern Quest and the Cougar Express Bus to the football games. The WSU Alumni Association does organize viewing parties in the Spokane area and some of us get together for The Cougs In 60 live radio broadcast from The Swinging Doors with Derek Deis on Tuesdays.
I really miss the coaches films being broken down by a staff member and the opportunity to meet up with fellow Cougs. Since the Crimson and Gray Game won’t be in Spokane this spring I imagine the WSU Week events will bite the dust too.
There’s a potential bandwagon to jumped on in Spokane. Someone needs to drive the van into town. Moving the crimson and gray game was a poor idea.
Attendance and interest seemed to be dwindling. Maybe absence will make interest grow fonder.
2 or 3 a year would probably be enough to keep the locals engaged. 1 with Leach and the other 2 with a couple of assistant coaches.
There's really little reason to have the coaches drive up to Spokane and glad hand.
All Leach's press conferences are streamed live on Facebook - he may tone it down a bit but with the click of a mouse, pretty much anything he says is available on the interwebs. It's not like the old days where either the TV stations had to drive down to Pullman and get a 30 second sound blurb for the nightly news or the coaches drove up to Spokane for a luncheon.
Like my beautiful dark feathered hair, luncheons have gone the way of the dinosaurs.
