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 [...]

On the same day that a BCS bowl game will be decided (tOSU vs Michigan), two other teams will be fighting just to make a bowl… any bowl. That really makes it a dangerous game for both teams as you never really want to get a team when their backs are against the wall. [...]

Well, quasi-preview. Since the team has already played one exhibition and one preseason game, you’ve already had a chance to “view” them. That’s my bad… kept putting off the preview edition of my men’s hoops coverage until all the rankings were in and then got steamrolled by work and school. That being [...]

Sadly, the Cougs just couldn’t quite make the full comeback last week against Cal - the only team left on their schedule where a loss could have been anticipated/ expected. The remainder of this season is going to be must-win games against beatable opponents. I.e., this is where Bill Doba keeps or loses [...]

Yes, yes, yes. That was a good win last week… but I’m not entirely certain why it was such a surprise. I’m almost offended for the players that many of the fans stormed the field after the game; that’s a pretty bad indictment about how low their expectations were coming into Martin Stadium [...]

Well, sadly the bye week last week was the Cougs best Saturday in a while: they got some much needed rest, extra planning for UCLA, and for the first time in four weeks the Saturday did not result in a Pac-10 loss. I really think that this team is better than their record, and [...]

It’s been a really long week at school this week; thus the lack of posts. But it’s Friday… which means I get to procrastinate for the next 36 hours. Blog on!
So here’s what’s going on here in Pullman: the Cougs’ season is not living up to the expectations. Given the fact that [...]

Oh… the burning! Man, our secondary has more holes than OJ’s murder defense. But if there was hope for OJ, there must be hope for the Cougs… we just need to find our “bloody glove”.
Still looking for our first Pac-10 win, the Cougs play host to 18th ranked Arizona State who, if I [...]

Well, we’re 2-2 and lost to two of the best 10 teams in the country; so I’m not exactly worried. I wasn’t all that enthused by the performance against USC, but it’s important to remember just how good this Trojan team is supposed to be and honestly they were just way too physically superior [...]

[Each week during the football season I will be breaking down the WSU Cougar’s weekend match up and then predicting the outcome; let’s see if I can get one right!]
So to recap the season - briefly - the Cougs went into Madison and lost to the #7 Badgers by 21 points (42-21), beat SDSU [...]
