Evergreen: Gregoire Cougs It By Siding w/UW

The Cascade Mountain range is becoming an ideological barrier – rather than merely a physical one. Though it may still be traversable, the divide between the east and west sides of the state is becoming politically insurmountable. The latest barrier to be constructed was put in place by none other than our governor, Chris Gregoire. She proclaimed Friday, Oct. 17, to be “Purple and Gold Day” in the state of Washington, saying, “I urge all citizens to don purple and gold in honor of this world-class institution.” Gregoire, a UW graduate, has taken yet another misstep in her campaign by giving Eastern Washingtonians another reason not to like her. Apparently, she didn’t get the memo that this is Cougar Country. From Oroville and Omak in the north all the way to Walla Walla in the south, most easterners support WSU/ Daily Evergreen .

Question: Would you be upset if Gov. Butch Otter declared a Boise State day and asked all Idahoans to wear Bronco colors?
