We're sorry. Actually, no we're not.
Pullman renamed their entire city after George Pullman, the railroad sleeping-car tycoon, hoping some of his fortune would trickle down. Nothing says 'small-town desperation' like changing your whole identity for a stranger who ghosts you.
Locals give directions by hill names because apparently street addresses are too advanced for the Palouse. College Hill, Military Hill, Paradise Hill, Sunnyside Hill - four hills, one university, and decades of Apple Cup disappointment. Geography can't fix what coaching can't either.
Since 1989, Pullman has thrown an annual festival celebrating... lentils. They have cook-offs, parades, and street fairs dedicated to tiny legumes while their football team gets crushed by teams that actually matter. At least the lentils show up consistently.
Cougars fans love to brag about their loyalty, yet every Apple Cup the other side's purple sea seems to drown out the crimson. When your supporters get outshouted this reliably, you know it's bad. At least the lentils show up consistently.
