Pullman, populated

The is gridlock on Grand Ave, crowds at Cougar Country and I'll thank all you people to kindly get the heck out of My Office! Yes, Cougar football weekends must have returned to Pullman and if the sheer number of people that seem to be milling around my normally quiet college town are any indication, there should be a sizable crowd at the game today.

Because Washington State only offers night classes in football 101 these days the game won't kick off until 5 p.m. We'll get started early with a live chat an hour before kickoff, but until then the links will have to do.

Links are after the jump.

-- We advance today's game with another look at WSU's opponent.

-- Former WSU running back/safety Teondray Caldwell has left the football team.

-- Here are four keys to a WSU win tonight.

-- Washington takes on Illinois in a few hours in front of what should be a nearly-full house.

-- Arizona plays Nevada today and we can only hope it lives up to the last time these two schools met on the field.

-- Arizona State isn't taking Colorado lightly.

-- Colorado has a tough task ahead of it facing off against the Sun Devils.

-- Could this season end up one of the 10 best in Oregon history?

-- Larry Scott (not the Pac-12 commish) is working to keep his starting spot at Oregon State.

-- From walk-on to starting nose tackle, Stanford's David Parry has come a long way.

-- UCLA faces a reeling Texas team.

-- USC tries to focus on Boston College after last week's big win.
