A guy in a bar leans over to the guy next to him and says, "Wanna hear a Cougar joke?"
The guy next to him replies, "Well before you tell that joke, you should know something. I'm 6' tall, 200 lbs., and I am a WSU alumni. The guy sitting next to me is 6'2 tall, weighs 225, and he's a WSU alumni. The fella next to him is 6'5 tall, weighs 250, and he's a WSU alumni.
"Now, you still wanna tell that joke?""
The first guy says, "Nah, not if I'm gonna have to explain it 3 times."

PULLMAN -- In midafternoon of a hazy day on the Palouse, it got to 93. No, that's not how many points Washington State ran up against Nevada-Las Vegas in the second football game of the season, it's a weather reference.
