SMU to play Washington St

I would suggest anyone interested in going contact the Mustang Club about putting a travel package together. I imagine that is all ready on the table. I am certain the cost would be reasonable and would not necessitate everyone trying to find junkets on their own.

Most Pac-10 teams stay in Moscow, ID, which is about 10 miles away. I don't know what Moscow has to offer, but it has to be more than Pullman.

That's the challenge WSU faces every year and in every sport.

trying to find an answer to my own question, I just called the WSU SID's office. He says most teams/fans stay at the Best Western (ack!) in Moscow. Also said that if Pullman or Spokane didn't work out, try flying into Lewiston, ID, which is 35 miles away.

All three people I talked to sounded glad to hear from us folks in Dallas.

I still can't see the mighty USC nation hunkering down at a Best Western in Moscow, ID, though.

My guess is that this is a road trip that not too many USC fans make! Probably just transplants that live in Washington/Oregon and drive in for the game.

I have a friend in Seattle that went to Wazzu. He flies into Pullman for every game and flies back the same day.

Washington State's first 2 games of the year are against it. I am not sure we could have picked a worse time to play them.

On the other hand we get to scout their defense.

They are already working on it.

According to their media guide, when USC played at WSU in Oct. they stayed at the University Inn (1516 Pullman Rd., Moscow, ID 83843, 208-882-0550).
