Taylor Rochestie is a man!

Hey, Cougar fans, check out this story from CNN/SI!

The headline reads "Giving one for the team -- Rochestie's sacrifice represents Wazzu's mentality."

I have North Carolina picked to win it all, but I planned to cheer for the Cougars after the matchup was set. After reading this story, I'll cheer even harder!

Tony Bennett and the Five Pillars. I am so impressed. And Rochestie leads AND follows the Five Pillars by his example.

Go, Cougars!

Bruwins, WSUcougar05 -- while checking out your message board, I just found Bruwins' post on this from October of last year. Guess either CNN/SI was slow on the uptake or I was! DOH! Sorry to be so late to the table with it.

I read the posts there about the financial aspect and the fact that Rochestie is from a well-off family. But, according to the CNN/SI story, I guess it's more about how it is perceived to not be on scholarship than it is to have to pay for a year's worth of education.

Either way, it still represents a great sacrifice for someone that young to make. Good for him!
