The NCAA made an unprecedented decision by granting Kansas State transfer Taelor Karr (above, in a Chris Anderson photo) eligibility to play with the Gonzaga women’s basketball team this season. Not a bad way to kick off the first day of practice. Here is the…
COUGARS The weather was a little wetter and a bit warmer today than it was Wednesday, so we're not complaining. Especially considering we'll be in line at an In-N-Out burger in less than 24 hours. Before then, however, we have a short practice report, a…
The AFL announced its 2012 schedule and Spokane learned it will open at home against Iowa on Monday, March 12. The AFL press release also contained a big surprise that it didn't exactly acknowledge: Dallas is out of business this season (see what I mean…

There's been a rash of concussions at Priest River, according to this KXLY link. Interesting. What do you think about this?
The Vancouver Giants picked up a new goalie and he was the difference in his debut, a 3-2 shootout win over the visiting Spokane Chiefs. The Vancouver Province also had a play-by-play of Adam Morrison's debut. There is also a slide show of game photos…
COUGARS • UPDATED: 10:20 A.M. Got up this morning and turned on the computer. No World Wide Net. Nothing. I blame the guys power washing the decks in the apartment complex. Don't know what that would have to do with it, as they hadn't even…
COUGARS All of sudden it turned cold in Pullman. Not Arctic cold, but, oh, maybe Bozeman cold. With a slight breeze. And an occasional shower. Just the kind of day to have a poor practice. Well, that didn't happen. Washington State went through a crisp,…
Katie Collier, a highly regarded high school basketball player in Seattle had quite a scare on a recruiting trip to Washington last weekend and will miss her trip to Gonzaga this weekend. However, basketball has become secondary, although she is expected to play in college.

COUGARS Practice is over and Jeff Tuel took some snaps in team drills. How did he look? Is he going to play this week? How does he scare his roommates? We have answers to at least a couple of those questions on the link, so…
NCAA women's basketball teams have 40 days to get in 30 practices, beginning yesterday, which means there are three different starting days for area teams. Eastern Washington and Washington State started Monday and Idaho hits the floor today. Gonzaga commences on Thursday. The men don't…
The Coeur d'Alene High administration worked hard to salvage its football game this week against Moscow. Then the Coeur d'Alene booster club president, Chris Costa, sent out a very weak attempt at humor. He put together a list, a la David Letterman, of the top…
Western Hockey League referees didn't get their man but league officials did when Marcus Messier of Tri-City was suspended for four games on Tuesday. The infraction was a double-minor checking-from-behind penalty that injured Spokane's Liam Stewart in the Chiefs' 7-2 romp in their home opener…
We reached the halfway mark of the regular-season in Washington football last week. What do you see happening from here on out? The big game this week in the Greater Spokane League is University (2-3) vs. North Central (2-3) in 3A. The winner will most…
COUGARS Before practice last night we thought we would have to write a quarterback-situation story. Then during practice realized, because Washington State wasn't wearing any pads, Monday's practice wasn't any different for Jeff Tuel than the ones he participated in last week. No story. Then…
COUGARS Washington State is off the practice field for its relatively quick Monday night practice and they have the same starting quarterback. Read on.
Idaho football coach Robb Akey isn't budging. He said today it wasn't a difficult decision to go for two at the end of the first overtime in a 21-20 loss at Virginia on Saturday. The Vandals didn't convert, but Akey said "there's no question in…
Defensive back Travis Williams, a member of the Shock's 2010 AFL championship team, has signed with Spokane. Williams had six interceptions and 21 passes broken up with the Shock. He has been with CFL B.C. the last two seasons. He's the 20th player to sign…

COUGARS • UPDATED: Noon Good morning from the Inland Northwest. After a day off yesterday, the Washington State Cougars will get back to the weekly grind this evening with practice. After the weekend grind, you folks get back to slouching around at work today. We'll…
