Piece by piece, section by section, you’ll slowly get to see this one come together.

What iconic moment or place do you think you’ll see in this one?

10/16/2026

WSU alumnus Jesse Lyon ’92 envisioned a trophy that would reflect the shared history of both universities and partnered with Oregon State alumnus, geologist and sculptor Ian Madin ’86 to bring that vision to life.

This isn’t just a trophy. The stone itself tells a story.

Crafted from Oregon-found glacial erratic rock and Columbia River basalt, the trophy incorporates materials connected to the ancient floods that shaped the Pacific Northwest.

Millions of years of geology. More than 120 years of rivalry. One trophy.

Today, we had the privilege of presenting an honorary alumni award to former Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers.

While she isn't a WSU graduate, her decades of service to Washington, support for our communities and partnership with Washington State University have left a lasting impact. It was an honor to recognize her commitment to public service and collaboration.

The recognition took place during the ribbon-cutting for WSU's new USDA research facility, an exciting investment in the future of agriculture, food systems and plant science.

The celebration also brought together fellow Cougs Senator Patty Murray and Congressman Michael Baumgartner, whose continued partnership helps advance WSU's research mission and impact.

Congratulations, Cathy, and thank you for your service!

One Coug. One idea. A new rivalry tradition.
For Jesse Lyon ’92, Cougar pride has always extended far beyond his time in Pullman.
An Agricultural Economics graduate and Harry S. Truman Scholar, Jesse met his wife, fellow Coug Carmi Lyon ’92, at WSU and has remained deeply connected to the university through advisory boards, Cougar Athletics, and the Cougar Collective.

More than three decades after graduation, Jesse has found another way to leave his mark on WSU history.

From researching historic college football traditions to commissioning a one-of-a-kind trophy inspired by the Pacific Northwest, Jesse turned his vision into reality.

What started as one alumnus's idea has become a new tradition for generations of Cougs and Beavs to come.
Stay tuned as we share the story behind the trophy!
