COUGARS We have a couple stories to write, including a look at WSU's football season at the halfway point, but before we get going on those we wanted to share a few links and some notes from this morning's practice. Read on.
Thought I would pass along a quick update after getting back from Idaho practice. Perhaps the biggest story was that middle linebacker Paul Senescall was on the sideline and not practicing. Coach Robb Akey said he expects Senescall to play Saturday and that coaches were…
COUGARS As we work on our Pac-10 notebook for tomorrow's S-R, thought I would take a little time and catch you up on a couple things, including this morning's practice.

These are heady days for the Idaho football program. Fresh off a 29-25 come-from-behind win at San Jose State, the Vandals (5-1, 2-0) made a big enough impression in the eyes of one Associated Press top 25 poll voter to earn a vote in the…
Took a Friday away from the Greater Spokane League to watch a wild Great Northern League game in Cheney, the Blackhawks winning 39-28 featuring one of the more improbable endings to any high school game I've seen. Cheney, behind remarkable athletes DeAngelo Jones and Alex…
There wasn't much to recommend -- for Eagles fans, at least -- about Saturday's 31-13 Big Sky Conference football loss to Weber State.A couple of school records were set, sure. And some fourth-quarter offensive fireworks that fizzled out in deep in the red zone were…
COUGARS Another loss, another Sunday. Sounds a little like that old Chicago song. Heck, if it were just raining, it would fit perfectly. It isn't. It's just colder than Soldier Field in December. We have your links. Read on.
Let's see. Nathan Enderle threw three interceptions (two in the fourth quarter) and was benched before the biggest drive of the season. Idaho was penalized 11 times for 113 yards. Linebacker Treshawn Robinson was ejected in the first half. Idaho squandered a scoring opportunity with…

COUGARS As I was driving around last night, I noticed the town was, well, rocking, if I can use a '70s term. And yet, as the night wore on, the number of sirens I heard were at an all-time low. Maybe the cold weather kept…
