Cougars converged in sold-out numbers for the kickoff of the Cougar Athletic Fund "Night with Cougar Football" events last week in Spokane and Tri-Cities.
The festivities began at Spokane's Northern Quest Resort and Casino for Wednesday night's National Signing Day Party.
Coaching legend Mike Price, Director of Athletics Bill Moos and Coach Mike Leach spoke to a sold out audience inside the Pend Oreille Pavilion at the casino.
The National Signing Day Party marked the first of the four celebrations of Cougar Football taking place in February.
Two days later the tour moved to the Tri-Cities where Coach Price and 2016 College Football Hall of Fame inductee Mike Utley spoke to a sold-out audience of Cougars.
