I can't prove it, because I'm not a computer doctor, but I'm afraid my computer-machine-thingee caught a virus over the past few days. Running hot, battery problems, slow to get moving. Yep, all the earmarks. But after a day spent reloading the system file and downloading the newest versions of my favorite software – by favorite,I mean most used; there is no value judgment here concerning anyone's products – my machine is back in fine fettle. ...

FROM EUGENE -- WSU can play the role of spoiler today against the Ducks, who are still in the Pac-12 title hunt. We have some links to pass along as we preview another Saturday in the Pac-12.

EUGENE, Ore. – The television replay they watched Friday looked awfully familiar to the Washington State Cougars. It was of Oregon’s 82-57 disassembly of Washington on Thursday night, but it might as well have been the film of a similar basetball game the Ducks played on Dec. 29.

FROM EUGENE -- Highlight of the day: eating at a Sonic Drive-In -- there's one in nearby Springfield -- for the first time. Worth it. Also, we have some basketball notes as the Cougars prepare to face Oregon tomorrow. Read on.

OK, I'll admit it. I picked St. Mary's to win last night. When asked my choice on the Patchin, Lukens and Osso radio show (featuring Vince Grippi), I went with the Gaels. What was I thinking? Well, read on and I'll tell you.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – They slashed, they defended, they made open shots like they were playing at Beasley. After this 83-73 blitzing of Oregon State before 5,782 at Gill Coliseum, the Washington State Cougars men’s basketball team could finally celebrate a conference road victory.

COUGARS
FROM CORVALLIS -- We've arrived at Gill Coliseum -- one of the more unremarkable venues in the conference, yet a trip I always enjoy nonetheless -- for tonight's contest between the Cougars and Oregon State (7 p.m., no TV).

Yep, it's Rivalry Thursday in Spokane. The best rivalry on the West Coast (that's your opinion, as per our poll from yesterday) is about to tipoff the second of what may be three matchups this seasons. Tonight's edition comes from the McCarthey Athletic Center, home of the loudest, rowdiest, most intimidating crowd in the West Coast Conference. ...

For the first time in quite a while, we're suffering through a tough Internet day. It's tough to connect with sites, it's tough to tweet, it's just tough to do anything. And we know it's our problem because it's intermittent. So we're working on it while we type – and by working on it, we mean we're ignoring it for now hoping it will fix itself. ...

FROM PULLMAN -- There was some more news here yesterday, from C.J. Mizell's dismissal to Ken Bone's teleconference. That -- and our usual Pac-12 roundup -- after the jump.

Today is not what you would call a compelling sports day. Really. Caught in the malaise that is post Super Bowl week, the sporting world took 24 hours to catch its breath. Sort of. Read on.

Super Bowl Sunday is usually a day of fun for the American sports fan. Gather with friends or sit with family and watch the game (and commercials). Yesterday was no different for most of you, I'm sure. And it was a game worth watching, with the Giants scoring late, Tom Brady trying to drive the Patriots down the field as time expired and a Hail Mary to end it all. ...

FROM PULLMAN -- There must have been some other game yesterday that required most folks' attention, because Pac-12 reading material is scant on this Monday. Oh, well. We still found a couple stories, at least, so read on.
