A long, long Monday WSU post
COUGARS
We're having some Internet problems at Casa Grippi, so the usual (virtual) trip around the West Coast is taking almost as long as a real one. So our morning post is not going to be filled with as many nuggets as usual. What the heck, it's Monday, so you can't see anyway. The eyes are too bloodshot. We'll just run the post in bigger type, it will seem as long and you'll thank us tomorrow. Read on.

• That's all for this morning. The Cougars practice late tonight and I expect at least a couple players to be sitting out. We'll be back afterward. Until then ...
