Seattle PI sports columnist Jim Moore wonders if WSU "Coug It" in naming its football stadium after Clarence D. Martin (pictured), Washington's governor from 1932 to 1940. In his column today, Moore reveals the shocking truth that Martin was (drum roll, PUH-leez) a Dawg! Yep. He graduated from U-Dub in 1906.
