First a few words about the mustache craze that’s all the rave in the Pac-12.
Minshew Mania? That’s so last year.
We’re talking about Manu Madness or the hairy caterpillar that’s parked on the lip of Washington linebacker Kyler Manu.
“Oh man, that thing is ugly,” Huskies assistant head coach Bob Gregory said, smiling. “But for him, I approve.”
Ugly? Maybe. But it’s so fantastic.
“There you go, it’s fantastically ugly,” Gregory said. “That’s a good way to put it. It is fantastically ugly, yes.”
It remains to be seen if Manu’s facial foliage inspires UW fans to sport fake mustaches like Washington State fans did last year to celebrate former Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew, who became a pop-culture icon far beyond Pullman.
