The ‘whir’ of RV heaters and generators could be heard all throughout WSU overnight parking areas Friday as early-arriving Cougar fans prepared for a brisk and blustery Homecoming Weekend in Pullman.
“What happened to summer?” said Bill Hunter (’75, Business), huddled in a long-sleeved sweater by his camper Friday afternoon.
“We’re hoping it snows tomorrow so Arizona will be out of their comfort zone,” said Craig Roberts, setting up a sitting area for an expected group of 25 people.
Despite chilly temperatures, parking areas filled up fast — some lots full as early as Thursday night.
“We’ve been season ticket holders for eight years and have never seen it this crowded, this early,” said Carol Evans, prepping a pop-up tent trailer with her husband, Robert. The couple expected a group of 24 people, “all family and all alums”, for Saturday’s game.
“I recommend being able to reserve spots,” said Scott Erickson (’81), gesturing to the narrow gaps between a crowded line of RVs.
