Well.  So it’s week one and according to some, the final scrimmage to prep for this game saw the second team defense outplay the first team offense… and the second team offense outplay the first team defense.  So what does that mean?  It means I have no good information to base a prediction off of.
Really, [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
