COUGARS It's game day on the Palouse, with the sun shining (it's going to probably hit the low 90s during the game), the fans sleeping off the revelry (loud last night) and coffee warming up (not one to waste money, I'm warming up yesterday's leftovers).…
It’s early in the season, but not too early to start gauging Idaho’s chances at cobbling together the necessary six or sevens wins to become bowl eligible. On that count, last week’s puzzling performance in a loss to Bowling Green did real damage. But Robb…
Eastern Washington, still ranked No. 1 among FCS schools ventures to Vermillion, S.D., to take on South Dakota in the first of three road games to open the season. Coach Beau Baldwin is looking for a physical battle against the Coyotes, and you can read…
COUGARS Maybe I am getting old enough to retire. After all, something happened yesterday afternoon that, as soon as it was done, I said to myself, "hey, you've got to blog about that." Then it disappeared, only to reappear in my head this afternoon when…
COUGARS The game is tomorrow. Before then, Washington State's football players will have more film work, they'll have a walk-through and they'll head off to the hotel for meetings and a good night's rest. Then there is the game, with UNLV heading up from the…
COUGARS Quite a light afternoon for Washington State, as Paul Wulff's press conference was delayed and practice was all about fine-tuning the game plan for Saturday. Read on.
Sorry I'm late posting this. I just got back from a quick trip to Tri-Cities to see my dad who suffered a mild stroke. He's going to have surgery to unblock a clogged artery Saturday. He was up last weekend and watched the Central Valley/Mt.…
Several GU items of interest. Bulldogs forward Kelly Olynyk scored in double figures twice this week for Canada at the FIBA Americas Championship in Argentina. Here's a link to Olynyk's stats throughout the tournament. He's fifth in scoring and third in rebounding for Canada, which…
COUGARS I've written this before but it bears repeating. The football season has a bit of a "Groundhog Day" feel to it. Every day, while not the same as the previous one, is really similar to its corresponding day the week before. If it's Thursday,…
Justing Veltung, Idaho's marquee receiver, is back at practice and participating in individual and position workouts. That's the good news for Veltung and the Vandals. The bad news: Veltung has yet to be cleared for contact drills in practice. He said it "looks iffy right…
COUGARS The temperature is rising as we move toward Saturday, with the high that day expected to be in the low 90s. Wonder how the guys from UNLV, where the temperature is expected to hit 102 degrees tomorrow, will adjust to the cool weather? We…
COUGARS The sun is just starting to peek its head over the wheat field behind my apartment as I begin this post this morning, so you know it's early. And it's also already beginning to get warm, so you know it's early September. Read on.
COUGARS Washington State is off the practice field on hot, sunny Tuesday in the Palouse, the first such day this season with senior Marshall Lobbestael as the man in charge of the offense. We have some notes about how it went, so read on.
COUGARS Paul Wulff spoke for a little more than 10 minutes with the Pac-12 media, than another 12 with the local today. If I were in his shoes, I would walk out of the second one thinking, "There are 22 minutes of my life I'll…
Did Week 1 offer any surprises to you? It did to me. Click the tab below to read more.
COUGARS It was kind of quiet on the practice field last night, what with school out, so few spectators were about. And the Cougars were missing quite a few players due to a virus. Read on.
COUGARS It's late but we promised you a post, so read on.
Idaho football coach Robb Akey talked about responding to the loss to Bowling Green and whole bunch of other things this morning. Read on for a summary.
COUGARS Today marks the unofficial end of summer, the last day to wear white pants at the Hamptons. At least that's what my friend Jay Gatsby used to tell me. But it's also the beginning of the college football season, when half the teams are…
COUGARS Paul Wulff held his day-after – or, to be more accurate, evening-after – press conference today and we'll share everything we didn't put in our story. Read on.
Another beautiful September morning in Seattle, and a great day to make the scenic drive back to Spokane. But before we do, we need to look a little deeper into the scare Eastern Washington put into the University of Washington at Husky Stadium Saturday afternoon.…
COUGARS The first week of the Pac-12 is now in the books, though it seems, after listening to Larry Scott's comments in Dallas, it might be the only season of the Pac-12. Washington State's first week of 2011 is now in the books, though it…
I just finished my game story on Eastern Washington's 30-27 road loss to the Washington Huskies, and you can take a look at it here once it's posted. In addition, you see what the Eagles' sports information department posted on the near-upset here, and you…
COUGARS Don't think anybody who is reading this doesn't already know about Jeff Tuel and his broken left clavicle. So we're not going to talk about ... oh, yes we are. But we also have some other things to cover about WSU's 64-21 domination of…
Washington capitalized on another big Eastern mistake to score the first touchdown of the second half and leads 27-20 going into the third quarter. The Huskies were forced to pun on their secons possession of the third period, but the kick bounced off the helmet…
