Who’s going to be the guest picker?
- Thread starter COUGinNCW
- Start date
Don't even know who he is, so I didn't want to comment on something I knew nothing about.
If it’s Few I will light the set on fire. After I take a dump on Corso.
Damn I wish Keith Jackson was still with us. He would be perfect. The entire GD crew would be in awe, not to mention our fans.
I don't trust Klay to pick the Cougs - he never seemed vested in the school and was here solely as a vehicle to get to where he's at now.
Clint Didier anyone?
I keed, I keed.
Clint Didier anyone?
I keed, I keed.
I don't feel that way about Klay. I feel like he's been a pretty Coug friendly alum.
That would be horribly lame and disappointing. I mean, I'd have to think, at least Bledsoe would do it before they had to call on some B list celeb who isn't even an alum.
Yeah Klay has been totally a good Coug. Don;t know where any other idea came from. Now have we hit him up for any money? Not that I am aware of.
The Producer of CGD has said they've pretty much locked this position down. He has mentioned it isn't necessarily a Cougar Alum. This could be VERY disappointing.
"Alright, alright, alright..." Matthew McConaughey? Friend of CML.
I have a feeling it will be someone from Eastern Washington but not necessarily an alumnus.
That said. Not sure if anyone has brought up Rypen or Hansen.
Brand X ran an article stating ESPN came to WSU with a short list of people they'd want. From Brand X's sources (take that to be as credible as you wish), they were all Coug alum and mostly the names we've been discussing here.
I just don't know what "local" celeb would be compelling enough to pick. I mean, Craig T Nelson is no more famous than Drew Bledsoe. Probably less so, actually, unless Craig T Nelson has done something the last 20 years I'm forgetting.
I don't know, Chris Pratt maybe? Dave Matthews? Macklemore?
Sir Mix-A-Lot performed in Pullman a few years ago ...
And, rumor has it that Chris Pratt was at a Pullman HS football game several weeks ago. Apparently he graduated HS with the Pullman football coach. Don't know if it's true.
I saw Steve Miller 3 times in college, once in Beasley. He told us during the concert that his wife at the time was a WSU alum. And at the Gorge he told us both times that the Gorge was his favorite venue. Why not him? His connection to WSU is stronger than Pratt, Matthews, or Macklemore. He's probably been to Pullman more times then the others combined.
Just a thought crossing my mind- do you think Guest Pickers pay to be there? Or at least cover their own travel expenses?
Chris Pratt is a proud Lake Stevens Alum. He has done a lot for that area.
Maybe he could bring Jacob Eason with him

Someone mentioned Matthew McCaughnehey (sp). That kind of connection to coach, I can see that.
Fitting said they have somebody in mind already. They want an entertainer. It doesn't have to be somebody associated with the school directly. Didn't sound like it was going to be Leaf or a fellow alum like that. I mean The Chainsmokers were the celebrity pick last week and they got Katie Perry one time at Ole Miss. I really hope it isn't Andy Grammer. I could see it being Macklemore.
He's there for Dad's Weekend, I would find it hard to believe he'd jump back and forth.
I'm hoping it's Matthew McConaughey in a Coug shirt, if it's not WSU alum related. Get that man on a PJ to Pullman and have him in Coach's suite.
It came from my personal feelings about Klay, hence " I don't trust...", but I am in the minority with my feelings about him so I won't drag that up again.
I mean, if you're not going to pick an alum, then who cares what their connection is to WSU? Steve Miller would be great, if your target market were 65 year olds.
