10. Cheering for Gonzaga
Sun Apr 4, 2021, 05:20 PM
Apr 2021

Being a Washington State grad, it was difficult to choose between UCLA (PAC-12 team like WSU) or Gonzaga where my father played on the last football team Gonzaga ever had thanks to WWII. He also had his law degree from there. However, the coach of Baylor, Kelvin Sampson, used to be a WSU coach in the 1980's and he and his family went to our church. Usually, I have to find a reason to cheer for a team if WSU is not involved. This time I would like both teams to win.
