Wazzu helmets for SJSU

Love it (again). Poor Veldon Lane Rawlins would be rolling over in his grave if he was dead. Funny how his Wikipedia bio prominently mentions his attempt to ban Wazzu from Cougar vernacular. Interesting fun fact that he was President at Memphis before WSU and North Texas afterward. Small world.

I was at WSU when all this went down. It was a cluster. Alumni calling in to the President's office outraged. I actually have a confiscated Wazzu shirt that I lifted from a supply cabinet in French Ad. Gotta find that for Friday's game. Of course when Elson Floyd arrived from Mizzou, that all went out the window. Another fun fact? The WSU Marketing AVP that was part of the Wazzu "ban" is now the Sr. VP for Advancement.....at........uw.

Rawlins was an idiot. Basically a poison to what WSU is/was.

I have never liked the Wazzu script helmets...these are much better.

I don’t personally ever use the phrase “Wazzu” but show tolerance toward those who do.

My diploma says “Washington State”

Would rather see the crimson lids with the Cougar head WSU logo.

Would disagree. But different stokes for different folks.
