So if anyone has read anything about WSU recently… my guess is that it’s been fairly negative. Most recently was the news that Xavier Hicks was suspended for three games after stealing and using someone else’s credit card, and putting rubbing alcohol in former-teammate Grady Maxwell’s contact lens case: both felonies.
True, Hicks did bargain […]

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 […]

Or should I say, snow day… uugh. Sorry, but it’s hard for me to get excited about a snow day when it was a pain in the ass to get to campus, a pain in the ass to get home, and I only got home one hour earlier than I normally would have. […]

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 […]

So, if you follow the Cougars closely, I’m not telling you anything new when I tell you that Paul Wulff has been named the new head coach of the WSU Cougars football team. If you don’t, then certainly the question is, “who the hell is Paul Wulff?”
Well, Paul Wulff was once an offensive lineman […]

Okay folks, so the other day I already commented on how I thought that firing Doba was uncalled for. Now I’m really confused.
I thought statistics were supposed to help understand rationale for why things happen. Using numbers to show and prove a result is supposed to clarify, not confuse, right? Well, like […]

Anyone savvy with the Washington State sports scene knows all about Bill Doba. After only five years of being the head coach at WSU, Doba “stepped down” “willingly” to vacate the position. Anyone living in the Palouse wondering what that arid stench has been floating around the past week can at least be […]

Wow. So, that sucked.
8 turnovers; 7 interceptions and of course a loss last week. I really could not have pictured a worse finish for the Cougs at home this year. You have to give some credit to OSU for their win… but at the same time it’s hard to look at the […]
