updated On a surreal football Saturday in the Palouse, halftime came at dawn. For about half an hour, the flag-waving died down just a bit, because nobody could keep up this pace for what, six hours. But, oh, did they try. Officially, ESPN GameDay at Washington State University began at 6 a.m. and ended at 9, when Lee Corso donned a Cougar mascot’s head to seal the deal on one of the biggest parties in school history.
