Aug. 11—PULLMAN — It was a quick trip to Pullman for Ryan Leaf and his USA Network colleagues on Monday.
The less than 24 hour-trip provided little time to hit up some of Leaf's favorite eateries — that will come in the fall, Leaf said, when the crew finds itself in town for some of the industry-high 22 Pac-12 football games on its broadcast schedule.
However, the trip provided plenty of time for USA Sports' "A team" of Leaf, serving as the network's lead in-game ***** yst for Pac-12 football, play-by-play broadcaster Nate Gatter and sideline reporter Lauren Green to spend the day with the Washington State Cougars and ... visit Leaf's former residence.
There, his colleagues had a question for him.
"'How did you fit four football players in that small house?' We were college kids; we weren't making any money at the time, right? So we had to stay wherever we could stay," said Leaf, a three-year Cougar quarterback and No. 2 overall pick in the 1998 NFL draft by the San Diego Chargers. "I just needed a bed to sleep at night after working hard at the facility. Showed them those places and then campus — it's a special campus up on the hill."
