  • Washington Coug

    Hey, I never saw this forum until COUGZ posted. I figure better late than never. Soonercoug turned me on to this site, keeping me from Cougarboard. Sooner and I served as mission companions and got in too much trouble. I grew up in Washington. My one claim to fame is going to school with Mark Bigelow. I bought my education at BYU-Idaho. My wife and I moved to Utah about 3 years ago. We have to kids, a boy and a girl. I really like Utah, but my heart is definitely in the Pacific Northwest. I still feel jolted by the NBA for moving my Sonics to OKC. I love the Seahawks and Mariners. I'm glad to be here. I find the discussions here very interesting and insightful. I came here looking for sports and have found this site to be a refreshing place to hear other peoples opinions on non-sports topics as well. I'll apologize in advance for my spelling and grammar. Even though firefox does a great job of spell checking, I have a hard time stopping before I hit submit.

    Welcome. Creekster is a testament to the fact that correct spelling is not a prerequisite.

                      Well if you had, you might have actually been able to move outside of Provo at some point in your life. I'm living in Grandview right now by the way.

                        WashCoug, you have just learned what "JL" does and doesn't mean around here.
                        Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.
