PNWguy Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I work in Pullman, WA, home of Washington State University and the Cougar football team. I work in corporate security for the largest employer in the area and we are on the edge of the WSU campus. They are expecting 75,000 to 100,000 people in town for the game. I live in a little town 14 miles away and my town was packed and all RV spots full. The game is tomorrow afternoon and the City of Pullman has declared a State of Emergency... https://pullmanradio.com/pullman-city-council-approves-emergency-declaration-for-espn-college-gameday-visit/ No real threat to our property; just running off people trying to park RVs in our parking lots. We are allowing folks to park on our property to attend the game about a mile away, but not allowing any tailgating or overnight stays. Lots of cops are going to make a lot of OT pay this weekend... https://pullmanradio.com/wsupd-bringing-in-extra-officers-to-help-patrol-campus-this-weekend/ We have a police scanner in our Opscenter and it is pretty much non-stop from 9pm to 3am with alcohol and loud music calls. WSU students have a reputation of burning couches in the street and rioting when they win something, so tomorrow night may be quite exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airmotive Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 (edited) The WSU flag is pretty legendary with the Gameday gig. Somehow, it's always present...for like the last 10-15 years, it has always been waving around in the background. I'd say your biggest threat to security is gonna be someone stealing the flag, so that the first gameday the flag misses....is a home game. Prime suspect...

Hopefully the Ducks pull it off and prevent couch arson (I dunno how to put a smilie face to show I am pulling your leg. should be a good game) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Collim1 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Welcome to my world. I live in a football town and it’s like that 8 Saturday’s a year here in the fall. I loathe football as a result. Sunday morning the streets are covered in vomit and litter, and the air reeks of piss and barf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I was up in Michigan this week and Michigan played Michigan State today and some areas were in full-blown Mardi Gras mode. I don't give a flip about football and I luckily got out of Dodge pretty early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brother-in-laws are both football players for EWU. I played in high school and enjoyed the game, so I really have no side. As long as the game is good and the fans are civil, I'm good. At half-time the score is 27-0 for the Cougs… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWguy Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Final score is 34-20, Cougs win! Fans are rushing the field and scanner is non-stop with alcohol-related calls. Tons of drunk people everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWguy Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Six couch fires, two mattress fires, multiple arrests, too many to list calls for intoxicated person and altercations. And now some idiot college kid just fell out of a window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
