A point short in Logan, where Cougar fans are still howling for a flag that was never going to come.
The emotional rollercoaster
Washington State fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Washington State went to Logan and lost 16-17, a single point that will outlive everyone who watched it. The turning point was a non-call on what the fanbase insisted was a free play, and the thread became one long howl: "WHERE'S THE FUCKING FLAG?! That was a free play!" Elsewhere, the gallows humor arrived on schedule, someone shrugging about "My favorite Husky, Owen Twelve." At 1-5, misery actually dropped from last week. That is what improvement looks like now.
