Everybody believes Brittney Griner is No. 1, or at least the 6-8 junior makes Baylor No. 1. Minus Courtney Vandersloot, sportswriters (AP poll) and coaches (ESPN/USA Today poll) don't believe Gonzaga is one of the Top 25 programs in the nation, but the writers for…
COUGARS At times, it's tough to get up in the morning. Not today. Rolled out of bed at 7 a.m. sharp and headed downstairs humming a Beatles' tune ("When I'm 64," which has special meaning in my family today). Opened up the computer ready to…
The Spokane Chiefs were in control from the beginning but didn't put the game away until they got a break, which opened the door to an 8-1 win over the Everett Silvertips. The break, a miscue by the Silvertips' goalie, gave the Chiefs a 3-1…

COUGARS You've probably already gone to bed but if you haven't you may want to spend some time reading more on the football game and a couple basketball links. Read on.
For the Idaho Vandals, the first quarter was a nightmare. And that's putting it mildly. They trailed 17-0 after three turnovers and eventually fell behind 20-0 early in the second period. But UI's offense -- behind new starting QB Taylor Davis and senior tailback Kama…

COUGARS After a 45-minute wait for a shuttle that took all of five minutes – and I probably could have walked in 10 – we're at AT&T Park for today's game. A few thoughts on the links, so read on.
UPDATED Wow, what a showing by the Greater Spokane League 4A teams. I said earlier in the year that I thought the GSL 4A would prove to be better than the Columbia Basin Big Nine 4A teams, and the GSL confirmed it last night. Mead…
COUGARS It's game day once again and I'm sure the Cougar flag is flying in Alabama, Louisiana or some other southern state where they are holding this week's "Game Of The Century!" But we're not sure. The TV is off just yet so we can…

COUGARS Washington State's Thursday walk-through is over so that means the preparation for California is pretty much over as well. We have some on that and how it relates to what coach Paul Wulff had to say at his short news conference as well. Read…
The Idaho State Board of Education today gave Boise State the OK to pursue membership in the Big East as a football-only member, a move that could have major implications for the Western Athletic Conference and the University of Idaho. If Boise State moves to…

COUGARS Another morning, another morning post. There aren't many things in the universe this regular. Now the quality of each one, that's up and down more often than United Airlines. But, as folks like to say these days, it is what it is. Read on.
I spoke with Robb Akey after Wednesday's practice, and he was hoping to make a decision on who will start at quarterback for the Vandals -- Brian Reader or Taylor Davis -- by tonight or tomorrow. Read on for more.
COUGARS In the years I've been doing this job, I don't remember many practice days colder than this one. The wind was blowing, not too hard but it was steady, and it was biting. Despite wearing a sweatshirt and two jackets, I felt it wasn't…
Former Spokane Chiefs captain Jared Cowen scored his first National Hockey League goal Tuesday night, a bittersweet moment because Ottawa's winning streak came to an end. The Chiefs have reassigned 17-year old rookie Cody Nelson, who only played in three games. Another story about Chiefs'…
