My boss suggested I bring a sleeping bag to the gym with the quick turnaround from GU's 84-79 loss to Dayton and its morning (here)/early afternoon (home) tip vs. NCAA Division II Chaminade today. Good idea, but I would have missed that morning symphony of…
From Pullman -- Neil Stover of SWX and I got together and chatted about WSU's win over Utah, and the Cougars' chances in the Apple Cup. Watch the video after the jump. ...
From Pullman -- The Cougars practiced long into the night on Monday to prepare for Friday's Apple Cup showdown ... Don't expect to attend WSU's bowl game if you sent Bill Moos vitriolic emails last year ... It's still anyone's guess where the Cougars will…
It was all going so smoothly for Gonzaga, leading 34-18 late in the first half. Sam Dower Jr. was dominating inside, Przemek Karnowski was doing his part and GU's zone slowed Dayton's offense to a crawl. The Flyers missed 3 after 3 until Jordan Sibert…
From Pullman -- Cyrus Coen was the first WSU football player out on the field for Monday night's practice, which didn't end until around 10:45. The Cougars were in fine spirits for their first rivalry week practice, whooping and hollering after big plays. No position…
From Pullman -- The Cougars have been acing their tests of late and if they keep bringing home grades like these they just might get that Red Rider bb gun for the Holidays after all. While the Cougars weren't perfect against Utah, they graded out…

This could end up being the toughest three-game stretch of the season for Gonzaga, which faces a tough, guard-oriented opponent in Dayton tonight and the possibility of two ranked teams, including No. 9 Syracuse, the next two games. The Zags have road dates ahead against…
A GRIP ON SPORTS It was an exciting weekend, even without the Seahawks playing (though they were in the news). An exciting weekend correlates directly to a link-filled Monday, something that doesn't happen often. So let's get right to it. Read on.
From Pullman -- It's Apple Cup week and for the first time in awhile, more than bragging rights are on the line ... the Cougars got the week started off on the right foot, reported picking up a verbal commitment from Darren Gardenhire ... A…
Tcu-wsu Final Book
Good morning. Got a wee bit of traveling to do today, so we'll get right to it. First, news-side did a story on Gonzaga's growth over the last 15 years fueled by the rise of the basketball program. I put together a couple of articles…
Eastern Washington was awarded a No. 3 seed and a first-round bye in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs, the NCAA announced Sunday morning. The Big Sky Conference champion Eagles (10-2 overall and 8-0 in the Big Sky Conference) will host either Northern Arizona or South…
A GRIP ON SPORTS You know, when you are in the forest and dangers lurk all around, you are supposed to be quiet, right? Avoid doing anything that will attract the attention of the predators. Keep under their radar. Don't wake the bear. Good advice.…
From Pullman -- Game day couldn't have gone much better for the Washington State football team. While the defense struggled at times and the Cougars didn't run away with the game, all that seems relatively unimportant after WSU's biggest win in years. The Cougars raced…
The Spokane Chiefs pulled one out of the hat Saturday night, falling behind the Tri-City Americans 3-1 during the first 14 minutes but winning 4-3 in overtime. Chiefs season leaders Mitch Holmberg and Mike Aviani assisted on the winning goal, scored by an elated Jason…
WSU FB Postgame Notes vs. Utah
It was an up-and-down weekend in Portland for the Idaho men's basketball team, which followed up a decisive win over North Texas on Friday night with a disjointed effort in a 65-60 loss to Columbia to close the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at the Chiles…
