Good morning, Coug fans!
On a crisp fall day, November 9th, 1901, the Washington State Cougars and the University of Oregon Ducks faced off against each other for the very first time. This was a very important game for me personally. I bet you’re asking yourself: “Emma, why was this game important to you? It happened almost exactly 97 years before you were born...” To which I say: first, excellent math, and second, Washington State won 16-0.
This game also set up a rivalry applicable mostly to my life, as a little Coug fan growing up surrounded by University of Oregon fans.
