Cougars Bring GameDay to Twitter

Though ESPN College GameDay chose to broadcast Saturday's show at Philadelphia rather than Pullman, it was clear that Washington State Cougars won the social media battle during the two days ESPN deliberated on what city to bring the show to.

A sampling of Cougar tweets:

'Twas the night before @CollegeGameDay decision, and all through P-town not a cougar was sleeping... 💤😁🐾 @ZZUCRU

The only thing worse than waiting for this @CollegeGameDay decision are profs that assign single spaced papers.
