OK, so maybe not that much happened. But we wrote a lot. Here's a story in the newspaper about Kache Palacio's rise at buck linebacker, here's a post on the blog with details from yesterday's practice, here's a blog post about basketball signee Tanner Lancona parting ways with WSU (and WSU parting ways with him), and here's a note in the paper about the same subject with quotes from Ken Bone. Oh, and here's our college baseball notebook, which leads with Scott Simon and his shutout of Utah last weekend. ... Howie Stalwick has a story about Lancona's decommitment.
