Pac-12 Bowl Victory Droughts: Washington State Nearly A Decade Without A Win

The Washington St. Cougars are hoping they can break their bowl drought. It's been nearly a decade since they last won a bowl game...heck, they haven't appeared in a bowl game since their last victory. They aren't the only ones in the conference that have had to wait awhile for a victory, but they're the ones that have had to wait the longest.
