Well, to each his/her own. I love being in LA and would hate being confined to somewhere like like Pullman, or Lincoln or the "little apple". I'd be bored out of my mind.
Moscow and Pullman are awesome. But partly because they are so isolated. Part of the charm of these communities is the small-town spirit, combined with the University presence. It makes for a very friendly environment... but part of that cost is, we don't want everyone thinking it's an awesome place!
Stay away if you're not drawn to it immediately and don't truly love the area!
I've heard people complain about the water on the Palouse, but I've had MUCH worse in big cities! As far as the rolling wheat (and peas, and barley, and lentils, and even garbanzo beans), yeah, they are ALL over. But if you want a break, just head your car or bike 5 minutes any direction and you're able to experience solitude and natural beauty all around.
Yeah, I did move away from the Palouse... but I'll be back there AND it took some place as fantastically gorgeous as HAWAII to move to... I guess I'm just destined to live in paradise.
As far as Brenn leaving, if she does go, the loss will be HUGE! If she leaves, I would imagine that Cindy takes the Iowa offer and the incoming coach will not have an easy regrouping situation the first year! Brenn is an amazing little setter, I wish her fortune on her future decisions.
But, as buster said, this is definitely NOT the first time there has been some migrations and controversy with WSU volleyball. It takes a delicate mix of personalities and talent, one that when it is put together performs amazingly (2002, 1997) but is NOT an easy task to put it together!
