Time Flies…
We all know it’s true, yet somehow it still surprises us.
This past weekend, I stared straight at Father Time - and it smirked right back at me. Three moments. Three reminders. Three powerful lessons.
1. Cougar Nation & Conversations
I was in Seattle for A Night with Cougar Athletics, hosting a conversation with new Washington State football head coach Jimmy Rogers. You can hear more about it on this week’s Y-Option podcast, presented by our founding partner, 76.
I’ve hosted this fundraiser for a decade, and as the event kicked off, I found myself reflecting - on Coug legends, road trips to the Palouse, QBs charging out of the tunnel, and the coaches who’ve left their mark. I even thought back to taking a class from the late Mike Leach, geeking out on the Run ‘N Shoot with Nick Rolovich, and sharing late-night meals with Jake Dickert. Through all of it, what’s remained constant is the WSU community: passionate, resilient, real.
Lesson 1: As time goes on, change is inevitable. But as the Coug faithful reminded me, as has age, life is about the people 1st, experiences 2nd.
