But the father cheering the loudest for Rosenbach will be be his own - WSU assistant athletic director Lynn Rosenbach. In his role as an assistant athletic director, the senior Rosenbach directs WSU sports camps, coordi- nates recruiting efforts, and is responsible for high school relations. "I don't do any recruiting in the field," he said. "I'm just there to make sure everything goes smoothly. "My busiest time of the year is in the spring when we start preparing for the sports camps put on in the summer," he said. The Rosenbachs' ties to WSU do not end with father and son, however. Daughter Dana is a senior majoring in education at WSU and mother Rosie also worked in the athletic department as the marketing and promotions director. She now works at the Pullman Chamber of Com- merce. So, back in the spring of 1985 When Timm was a senior at Pullman High School.

He had heard from several col- leges, including WSU, about playing football. His parents tried to stay out of the decision-mak- ing process, but their bias showed through. "We both tried to stay out of it for the most part," Lynn said. "His mother (Rosie) really tried, but I told him I would like him to go to Washington State so I could see him play." "They told me they weren't going to try and influence my decision, but I could tell where they wanted me to go," Timm said. "Whenever I talked about another school, they'd get real quiet. " In the end, Timm narrowed his . -'--_.._ - _. Evergreen/GaryFoster choices to WSU and Arizona State. While WSU quarterback Timm Rosenbach has had his ups and downs this season for the Cougars, he can count on support and guidance from his father.
