Lew's Bio

I'm a native Southern Californian who found his way up to the Great Northwest to attend Washington State University. My bachelor s degree was awarded in 1973. It all started in 1969 though. That's when I was invited into the WSU family and became a life long Cougar. Yes, I'm a Coug!

The foundation gained through my years in Pullman have benefited my family and me in enumerable ways. My collegiate passion is summed in two well known words...

"GO COUGS!!!"

The Short List facts and information about Lew Wright

Favorite Athletes

Tiger Woods

Favorite Sports Teams

Washington State Cougars

All Time Sports Moment

Kirk Gibson's improbable homerun off Dennis Eckersley. The only time in my life when I exhibited a 42" vertical leap. Oh yeah, we were there about 8 rows up behind first base. There was no doubt about Gibson's shot going. It was gone...all the way.

Most Memorable Game Attended

2003 Holiday Bowl when the Cougs upset #4 Texas with a one-legged quarterback and monster defense. Close second would be the 1988 conference game when WSU upset the #1 ranked UCLA Bruins on their home turf in the Rose Bowl.

Most Unbreakable Sports Record

DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak.

Ruth or Mays?

Ruth, the quintessential bowler turned baseball player...

Unitas or Montana?

Joe Montana was the prototypical winner. Period.

Pele or Maradona?

Who?

Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

PAC-10 of course...are you kidding?

    interesting take on the cougs/celtics/tiger thing, but i get the feeling it's not going to translate to wins on the field. I've been watching these cougars from across the border in moscow for 22 years, and used to work at wazzu. there's a reason they coined the phrase "couging it"

    Not a problem Lew. Hopefully Wazzu will take the inspiration you wrote about and be respectable this year.

    Thanks for the pick, Lew. Good point about growing up as the son of GS. Some fates are too dire to even begin contemplating...

    Hope all is well,

    Lew,
    First, I wasn't born in LA, my Dad coached their Raquetball 9If I spelled it right.)2nd, it depends, if Darren Collinson tries to be a 3-point shooter, probably. If he tries to be a assists-guy, no. If he tries to be a drive-to-the-hoop-guy, maybe.

    Lew,

    I appreciate that a lot...I have also done the same on my site. Your address is now on my blog roll.

    Lew,

    Thanks for the vote of confidence...believe me your work is also very good. That also got me thinking about your blog site as well mine. Maybe there is a way I could post your stuff on my blog site that displays your blog address...hopefully redirecting some traffic your way.

    It was just a thought...of course the entire idea is to get some traffic and increase the numbers.

    Thanks.

    John
