Honoring Jim Walden

The House held a remarks session honoring figures from Washington State, led by Representative Baumgartner. The main tribute was to Jim Walden, the Washington State University head football coach from 1978 to 1986, who recently passed away; Baumgartner credited him with turning the program around and leading the Cougars to their first bowl game in 50 years, and noted his later career broadcasting games on radio. In the same remarks, Baumgartner also honored former Gonzaga basketball star Domantas Sabonis for donating money for a new student-athlete strength and conditioning center, and former WSU athletic director Bill Moos, praising his new book and his service to the university.Written by AI from the debate.
