I watched roughly an hour of Gonzaga's opening practice and I filed a notebook that will run in Saturday's S-R. The first item is on the six newcomers (five freshmen and J.C. transfer Guy Landry Edi). My best guess (caution: after 60 minutes of watching)…
The Spokane Chiefs are about 30 minutes away from puck drop with the visiting Prince Albert (how many times will I type Alberta) Raiders and there's a little catching up to do. Former Chief Tyler Vanscourt is wearing No. 21 for PA but the goalie…
COUGARS Much, much easier today. The computer seemed to nearly fly across the World Wide Net, landing softly on each website and loading faster than a UPS guy on Dec. 23rd. So we have your morning report in a timely manner. Yahoo. Read on.
The Panthers stunned No. 1-ranked and defending state champ Ferris 35-14 at Joe Albi Stadium Thursday. Here's my game story. Junior running back Davian Barlow, who scored four touchdowns for Mead, is pictured above.
Eastern Washington will try to build on its modest two-game winning streak on Saturday, when the Eagles welcome Big Sky Conference rival Northern Colorado to Roos Field for a 4 p.m. Homecoming matchup. With wide receiver Brandon Kaufman out for the year with a broken…
COUGARS • UPDATED: 6:15 P.M. Remember way back to this morning when I blogged this about whether Jeff Tuel or Marshall Lobbestael would start against Stanford ... "This morning I would say don't bet on either guy right now. I'm not sure which guy will…
Gonzaga officially opens practice Friday and there's a media day scheduled as well so we'll have a post later Friday recapping opening day. Meanwhile, the WCC announced it is teaming with YouTube to host the 2011 WCC Men’s Basketball Tip-Off on Thursday, October 27. All…
Brian Reader knows the grim numbers from the last two weeks: no touchdowns in regulation, five interceptions, and a completion percentage that has been "awful," in the words of his coach. But the Idaho quarterback has also seen enough this year to know the Vandals'…

COUGARS If you don't follow our Twitter account, you missed the reason why our morning posts have been appearing anywhere from a half-hour to an hour late recently. For some reason recently, Adobe Flash videos on a few newspapers' websites have slowed my high-class MacBook…
For the second straight home game, the internet at the Arena kicked me off - and didn't let me back on - right at the end of a Spokane Chiefs victory. At least Saturday I got the blog done before I was stifled. But, better…
COUGARS There was something different about practice Wednesday. What was it? Can't put my finger on it. Maybe it was Jeff Tuel actually running around and able to be hit – though he never actually was. But he's been cleared to play this weekend and…
Erik Meyer, who took over as Spokane’s starting quarterback after being acquired in a trade last season, has signed with the Shock, the Arena Football League team announced. Meyer was highly productive in five games, completing 75 percent of his passes with 22 touchdowns and…
COUGARS • UPDATED 12:30 P.M. After practice last night, Jeff Tuel told the assembled media it was one of the best Tuesday practices the team's had since he's been in Pullman. "Really good tempo with a lot emotion," he said. Don't know what it will…
This seems to be a popular way to start the week judging by most comments by folks here. I'll do other blogging and tweeting, of course, but this is a good way to jump start our conversations about what is going to happen and what…
COUGARS Washington State is off the field after its first full-pad practice of the week. Nothing out of the ordinary, but we do have a couple things to pass along. Read on.
Jeremy Geathers, a defensive end who played a key role in Spokane's 2010 AFL championship run, has signed with the Shock. Geathers was the defensive player of the game after registering two sacks in Spokane's 69-57 win over Tampa Bay in the ArenaBowl. He went…
COUGARS An interesting day yesterday, right? Not only was it the first day back to football practice at Washington State for the Stanford week, the Pac-12 was thrown into a tizzy with Arizona firing football coach Mike Stoops. More on both those things on the…
COUGARS It's late, mainly because Washington State doesn't start its Monday practice until 7:30 but also because I had a couple of interviews to do after it was done. But we're done now and have a few notes. Read on.
Robb Akey again addressed Idaho's quarterback play and Brian Reader's status as starter during his Monday morning teleconferences with reporters. Read what he said below.
COUGARS It's Homecoming week in Pullman. On the link we have a question about that, drawing on the deep readership base of this blog to increase my intelligence. Flawed plan? Only you can decide. And, oh yes, we have some Washington State news, notes and…
COUGARS We're back in the Inland Northwest and will be for the next week or so, thanks to a home game in Pullman this Saturday (and yes, we've almost forgotten what those are like). Paul Wulff had his postgame press call this afternoon, so if…
COUGARS • UPDATED: 8:45 A.M. We're in the airport after a solid four hours sleep, so if we mess something up, please forgive us. We're going to get this Sunday morning started with a few notes and all the Washington State links. Then we'll add…
COUGARS It's after midnight, so I really don't know why I should be blogging, but I am. We have some thoughts, so read on.
Mitch Holmberg scored his first two goals of the season and Anthony Bardaro added two power play goals to spark the Spokane Chiefs to a 5-1 win over Kelowna at the Arena Saturday night. However, it was 16-year old defenseman Jason Fram who got the…
