per the Spokesman-Review:
For half of the three weeks of buildup to Tuesday’s game, which kicks off at 4 p.m., there was uncertainty about what team the Cougars would play, and even some speculation that the game could not be played at all.
To Leach’s credit, he was right to “ignore 100 percent of that” speculation, and is certainly only more secure in his opinion that “your best bet is to assume everybody is playing.”
But for fans, particularly Minnesota fans, who had booked flights, hotels and had made their holiday plays, seeing both teams walking around San Diego this last week must have been a relief.
And for the players, hanging out on board a large naval vessel and visiting the San Diego Zoo (WSU) and SeaWorld (Minnesota) must have been fun. But the players are always reminded that these trips are for business first, foremost and last, and are doubtlessly ready to actually play the game.
