Washington State Cougars

Well Pac-10 fans...this will be my last post on the histories of your beloved teams! What ever will I chat about? Any suggestions? While you think about that one, I will give you a bit of information on the Washington State Cougars.

The Washington State Cougars football team was established in 1893 and has a 492–475–45 (.508) overall record. Located Pullman, Washington, the Washington Cougars play in the Memorial Stadium.

The Cougars home field has the lowest capacity of any Pac-10 stadium, so every game is jam-packed with screaming fans. Currently, Paul Wulff is the head coach for the cougars and was hired in December of 2007. Over the years, the Cougars have established themselves in the conference. The Washington Cougars have participated in many bowl games such as the Rose Bowl, the Aloha Bowl and the Holiday Bowl.

With four conference titles under their belt and a 6-4 bowl record, the Washington State Cougars have done well for themselves over the years. Over the decades, the Washington State Cougars have also accumulated a few rivals such as the Washington Huskies and the Idaho Vandals.

Rose Bowl is holy grail of College Football Games

Every college football season teams prepare all year for the post season bowl games. Bowl Games are the veritable who's who in college football. For Pac 10 Football Teams, the Rose Bowl in Pasadena is the Holy Grail of Bowl Games. According to the official Rose Bowl Game website, "Known as the The Granddaddy of Them All, the Rose Bowl Game kicked off a myriad of college football legacies in 1902. Since then, the game has showcased 18 Heisman Trophy Winners, produced 28 national champions, and featured 197 consensus All-Americans."

This year the 96th Rose Bowl Game will be played by the Number 8 BCS Ohio State Buckeyes and the Number 7 BCS Oregon Ducks. Both the Oregon Ducks and the Ohio State Buckeyes have had great 2009 Football Seasons and are well prepared for the game. The Oregon Ducks, ranked a place higher in the BCS rating system than the Oregon Ducks are the favorite. But in my opinion both teams really have a shot at this title and if the Oregon Ducks want to keep the Rose Bowl Championship in the Pac 10 they are going to have to do serious work to protect the title...

There are still Rose Bowl Tickets left, I found some at Oregon Ducks Football Tickets... but if you intend to go, you better scoop up your Rose Bowl Tickets soon!
