Small news to some, big news to me: five days ago redshirt-freshman guard Thomas Abercrombie was released from his scholarship by WSU and will not be a part of the 2008-09 WSU basketball team. The loss of anyone named their country’s HS player of the year two years in a row has to be [...]

Wow… when they say nighttime cold medicine… they really mean nighttime. Maybe downing half a bottle of NyQuil before school was not such a great idea. On the way here I counted three purple elephants… when normally I only see one… maybe two. Probably going to be a weird day.
Well, so last [...]

It’s been way too long since I’ve talked Cougar hoops, so let’s get that going.
So, the last time I checked in on the team, they had just finished beating Washington in Seattle, and I said that if they won one more game on that road trip, it was going to be a good season. [...]

Okay, so that was actually somewhat tasteless. Did you really expect anything more from me though? I certainly hope not.
So last night the Cougars did what they have done best in the past few years, and that is beat the Huskies. In football, the Cougs are 3 of their last 4; in [...]

Well, quasi-preview. Since the team has already played one exhibition and one preseason game, you’ve already had a chance to “view” them.

I don’t know, sorry for being pessimistic but I have to believe that Bennett knows that no stadium deal is possible, [...]

This according to a former employee who is suing the team for sexual harassment/ creating a hostile work environment:
Breshetta Clark claims in the federal lawsuit that Carl Howard Parker, the team’s engineering director, sought sexual favors while her husband was away on military duty.
Clark, who filed her claim in May, is seeking compensatory and punitive [...]

Everywhere I go, everything I read has bloggers already kicking the Sonics out of Seattle and into Oklahoma City; I’m not one of those bloggers. Nope. While many see Sonics’ minority owner Aubrey McClendon’s comments as the punching of the team’s ticket out of town, I see it as a desperate act by [...]

What happened to the inept Sonics that Seattle has come to know and love… well, okay, just know? Where’d they go?
Funny what a draft pick can do to your franchise mentality. The second overall draft pick inspired the Sonics to suddenly become a semi-competent front office, and I think new GM Sam [...]

Typically I comment and write about the A’s, but most of my friends and family are SF Giants fans so I do tend to still follow the team pretty closely. Right now the Giants are in a much better position to speculate about the future for, so I figured I’d give a shot at [...]
