COUGARS

Well, actually an ex-Cougar.

Jason Sobel of ESPN.com has an interview with who he calls, “already … the most famous college golf coach in the nation.” He’s talking about former Cougar quarterback Ryan Leaf.

Leaf is the golf coach at Division II West Texas A&M and Sobel has him on the on-line magazine’s Hot Seat, an interview about Leaf’s love of golf.

Our Steve Bergum, who was the Cougar beat writer in Leaf’s freshman year at Washington State, would talk about how often that next summer he saw the Cougar quarterback on the golf courses in the area. He couldn’t figure out how he was improving his football talents on the course. He wasn’t. He was prepping for his next career.
