In accordance with our policy of proudly supporting home town WSU Football in good times and not so good times, win or lose, here's this morning's Standard-Examiner story on this afternoon's final Stewart Stadium 2011 Big Sky Conference home game, where the biggest part of the Wildcats/Lumberjacks face-off story may very well be WSU's plan to send our much beloved coach Ronnie Mac out with a giant bang:The Standard's definitely done a yeoman's job of reporting on Coach Mac's retirement this week, by the way, with no fewer than six Ronnie Mac retirement stories during the past week:
Hats off to the Standard-Examiner for that.
For those diehard WSU football fanatics who haven't shifted their focus to the encouragingly talented Weber State athletic squad (you know -- the other one - which plays ball indoors on a hardwood-floored arena, and NOT on stadium outdoor gridiron turf), we'll once again provide the WSU football audio link for your convenience:
But with WSU official
s having scheduled pre-game festivities to honor McBride with gifts and a video tribute pre-game......we'll be hoping that WSU/Coach Mac fans will find at least one further motivation to visit the stadium (which was built for our retiring WSU coach) one last time this season.
Go Wildcats!
Happy retirement, Coach Mac!
