Pullman

you know, this one cracks me up because I don't know what Washington state's doing.

They opened up with Davidson coming to Pullman.

It's like Washington state is looking.

It's like the meme with the sunglasses where they got another pair of sunglasses on and he's looking at, they're looking at Stanford and Cal playing these Carolina games and saying, we should be doing this.

I mean, just a strange first two games.

Davidson coming all the way to Pullman.

And now you go to High Point, North Carolina.

The furniture capital of the United States, folks.

We do get Colorado State at home.

But you got House Heine coming into Pullman, and this kid can do it all.

He's a dual-threat quarterback, former four-star out of Oklahoma State, transferred over there for Jim Mora, but... they've got their own issues.

They got absolutely beat down.

You know, I kind of wanted to ask a question that's kind of looking into next season, just what we saw in terms of the stands.

Obviously, everything plays into attendance.

You know, if you get off to a slow start, Fans are going to feel some type of way, but we've got two power four opponents coming to Pullman next year, quite possibly last time in, you know, who knows how long that UW will play in Pullman to kick off the season.

And then you have Kansas coming in here, a P4 opponent.

Give me a sense of what this year has been like for you so far.

As I pointed out, won that NCAA title last year at Washington State, transferred in from Pullman to Ames following your coach.

It was, you know, how am I able to continue training with Laura, which means I'm going to have to enter the transfer portal.

I'm going to have to be able to leave Pullman, Washington, to go to Ames, Iowa.

How did those conversations really begin? And I'm sure a lot of it boiled down to because Laura was leaving.

He's at Washington State University.

Were you there last night, Junior? Pullman.

Yeah, in Pullman.

Yeah, go Cougs.

Go Cougars.

Today's podcast starts in Lincoln, Nebraska.

It detours through Pullman, Washington, and then it lands in your kitchen, right between the pasta pot and the bread oven.

It's here in Lincoln that ARS researchers recently released a new wheat variety called USDA Morris.

But this isn't just any wheat.

The name pays homage to the late era scientist Craig Morris, who spearheaded soft durum research and research on kernel texture encompassing all U.S. wheat market classes.

My former advisor, Dr.

Craig Morris, served as the director of the Western Wheat Quality Laboratory in Pullman, Washington for 32 years.

His scientific contribution in that region is just unmatched.

your local leadership and invite or ask them to pray with you on it.

Something that I did when I was in my early 30s, I went before my elder board in Pullman, Washington, and said, Hey, I'm sensing that God wants me to plant a church.

But I think that prayer and listening is key, and then waiting for that opportunity, looking for that opportunity.

But I remember we had this house.

Yeah, but you had to walk
