“No One Watches Bowl”: WSU coach Jake Dickert slams ESPN’s Lee Corso for lowballing their Week 4 matchup against Oregon State

WSU Coach Jake Dickert didn't mince words in a fiery postgame press conference. He directed his criticism towards Lee Corse and ESPN, calling them out for their comments on College GameDay.

In a stunning upset, Washington State overcame the odds, defeating No. 14 Oregon State despite being a three-point underdog. This win not only handed them their first conference win of the season but also solidified their flawless 4-0 record.

Dickert commended his players for their commitment to the program, especially considering the absence of high-star-rated players on the roster. However, Jake slammed Corso and ESPN thereafter:

“There’s a lot of noise out there. I caught something this morning. I was just watching GameDay and Corso comes on and [calls our game] the ’No One Watches Bowl,’” Dickert said.

“I don’t really understand that … Coach Corso, he’s at the point now where they give him the sheet and he reads off of it and they try to make a joke. But it didn’t even make sense."

Dickert expressed his bewilderment at Corso's negative remarks about the team, emphasizing that people indeed tune in to watch the Cougars play. He questioned Corso's reliance on scripted jokes that often missed the mark.
