Demand must be abysmal. Just got a notice from WSU athletics that they’re partnering with Costco to sell 2-packs of tickets for $79.99. Sections 6, 7, 8, or end zone.

Those are better seats than mine for half the price. If they maintain the deal, I’ll buy tickets from Costco in the future and maintain my priority level by donating the difference.

Thanks for the heads-up! I searched the Costco app and many Pac12 and other schools have similar deals listed.

This is precisely the reason why the P10 is a flickering candle. Fans out west just don’t care that much. It’s not just a WSU problem.

The SEC’s motto is “it just means more.” They’re not wrong.

That is why we will left out of any deal and playing in a lesser conference in 5 years . Walden and Price kept that from happening much earlier . At least we got a Rose Bowl appearance .

Who thought in 92 Copper Bowl that it would be Utah in the drivers seat of a better conference and wsu would be pushed down a conference 30 years later .

I always knew this day would come for WSU, but we’re not alone. UW is facing serious problems of their own, as are all the West coast schools not named Oregon who are looking to jump into the super conference arena.

Institutionally, and also with regard to fan interest, UW, Stanford, and UCLA will never keep pace with the reckless athletic spending you’re seeing in the B10 and SEC.

Walden didn't do jacks***.

Regents did by changing academic calendar by moving to August starts from late September.

I don't know why some of you guys keep shitting on the West Coast inre the SEC. I've lived in Alabama, I've live in Mississippi...there is absolutely nothing to ****ing do in fall on a Saturday afternoon. Ok, you could do some meth and power wash your single wide, I guess. But there's a reason why their focus is absolutely upon college football: There is nothing else to do.

I'll take the Cougs in the MWC and the quality of life in the PNW vs producing 12-toed offspring with my cousin-wife and routing for 'bama with no actual school connection whatsoever.

Also, sweet tea sucks ass.

WSU to the MWC and I will legit never care again. WSU being apart of the P10/12 was a large reason for me attending. I wanted that P5 athletic experience.

WSU to the MWC is the kiss of death to the university. Good luck expanding the campus, footprint in the state (as it seems to be par for the course for this admin), and growing as a T1 institution. The university immediately becomes less attractive. You're no longer known for anything. Period.

You won't be alone, but WSU isn't going to be included in a super league of 40-50 teams.

You, my friend, are out of your mind.

Sweet tea is awesome.

There is always something else to do. I never understood people who get bored or have nothing to do.

This is really an arrogant post.

I have met 12-toed rednecks who exhibit better grammar, spelling and punctuation. Just saying!

Oh and you know what sucks ass more than sweet tea; the idea of the Cougs playing in the MWC. Just saying (again)!

Well your description of meth and single wides could easily apply to some places in WA state. In fact, I read a report where WA was #3 in the country in meth use. I remember a while ago hearing that Snoho was the meth capital county of the country. I have some folks in GA and I've been to Athens, Washington, and Savannah and all of those places have charm, lots to do (and the bass fishing is unreal), and I wouldn't see them as boring. Atlanta was hit or miss depending....but most big cities are. And Seattle doesn't have it's issues? Ha! Don't get me wrong I love the PNW and wouldn't move but let's get real here.

I think football is more an important part of the CULTURE in the south rather than it simply being the only thing to do there. Here in the PNW we are becoming more of a soccer culture as more parents are moving their kids into soccer. Growing up we wouldn't be caught dead playing soccer. I have changed my opinion and now appreciate soccer but still the numbers of kids moving away from football to play soccer makes me a bit sad.

I don't like the direction college football is going and I don't like the SEC and the big bucks arms race. I don't watch too many other college games on TV anymore outside the pac-12 and big sky. Honestly, I'm looking forward to watching some more small town HS football this fall. There's still the energy and spirit there.

For as long as I shall live I will not understand how grown men can act like such pu$$ies, moaning and wailing on the ground, sometimes after not being touched at all. I'm not trying to be all toxic masculinity, but come on... why is that part of the sport and why is it tolerated? (I'm referring to soccer here, not football.)

I can't exactly disagree with you.

I just expect the fallout from not being included to be much greater than people are either willing to admit or want to admit.

Yeah, people don't want to be realistic about the numbers and their implications. Big Ten distributions may be $80-100m per school. The Pac-12 is looking at something less than half that right now in its next deal. That has major implications. Then you look at the Mountain West paying its schools (other than Boise State) something like $4m a year. The AAC's deal pays out $7m a year, and that was established before it lost some of its better members. This is not incremental. This also is without getting into the numerous indirect impacts on the institution as a whole.

The Pac-12 is what it is. We will get the most money we can.

At WSU....we will recruit the way we recruit to WSU. Find overlooked players or transfer that want to play. The big teams will have guys that don't play due to politics, etc., The transfer portal gives us access to those guys. We didn't have that advantage in the past.

There will be teams in the big-10/sec will keep getting beat up despite getting more money. (Rutgers, Indiana, Vandie, etc.).

I'd personally take wins, and getting to a bowl game, getting a shot in the college playoff, vs. getting our asses kicked every week.

There are players that will want to stay closer to home, have their families watch them, that are really good players, but may not be NFL caliber.

I also think the media overvaluation of the Big-10 and SEC will bite the networks. NFL could say we are going to put on Saturday night football and put a nail in this. The NFL is getting like a billion to put on a Thursday Game. Does 1.5B on a Saturday night game move their needle?

Costco probably should have stayed away from this. Tried to get 6 of these you can only redeem them in pairs. First 2 no prob then they wouldn’t redeem the next 4…so apparently this only works if you need 2 tix? Then they send you the tix to add to your wallet, no way to choose seats. What a POS. Don’t bother w this if you don’t already have tix.
 
After working 10 straight days to get the Dollar Tree store open, that opens today, I get today, Thursday, Friday, Saturday off.

Which means I can go-to the WSU vs Idaho game, If I can get a ride, and if I can get a ticket, and if I can get back in time for some sleep, and in time to go back to work at the Dollar Tree on Sunday.

How much are tickets? Is there a WSU bus in Spokane?

I might be able to stay overnight in Spokane on Friday Night, and then catch WSU bus to Pullman if there is one.

Or Maybe someone could give me a ride from Davenport.

Also depends on game time. If game time is going to be late 6:30 pm+, then might be hard to get a ride back, because a potential ride back might want to stay overnight, and I can't stay overnight, because I might be working Sunday Morning.

Can any of you help me plan, do the logistics?

It's not very well executed. I also noticed that when you go to buy, the tickets are described as "sideline or end zone," and a bunch of people have complained about redemption issues. I wouldn't want to buy these and then get stuck in the end zone because that's all that was available, if the redemption even worked at all.
 
I would pose these questions on the Die Hard Cougs Facebook page. Lots more eyes on the posts than on here.
 
I tried to join Die Hard Cougs to ask my questions there, and its taking too long to be able to join.

By the time I'm able to join the DHC Facebook group, the game will be over, or at least it would be to late to get a ticket, arrange to ride a WSU bus, if there is a WSU bus, get a ride from somebody, all the logistics, questions I asked, etc.

This doesn’t sound like it’s a Costco issue. And we have ample history of the WSU ticket office bungling distribution.

It’s a Costco issue if I have to call them to cancel my order. To their credit though they don’t ask questions and take care of their customers. They are offering this for several schools, be interesting to see if it’s a success and returns.
