3. The Paths Jason
Gesser & Mike Price
The paths Jason Gesser and Mike Price have
traveled since leading WSU to its last Rose Bowl
Game were wrought with twists and turns, but
the road has finally led them both back to
Washington State, where the Cougars will honor
them as athletic legends for all of posterity.
In 120 years of Washington State football, the
Cougars have never had more success than they
did in the late 90s and early 2000s, when
quarterback Jason Gesser and head football
coach Mike Price combined their considerable
talents to usher in the Golden Era of Cougar
football.
