COUGARS FROM SEATTLE -- Heading back to the Palouse this morning, but wanted to put this post together first because there are a few links out there worthy of your attention. Read on.
A GRIP ON SPORTS • ADDITION: 9:25 A.M. Really, could there have been better weather to celebrate Mother's Day? The sun was shining, the temperature rose into the high 70s and the weeds seemed to almost pull themselves. OK, I was exaggerating a bit on…
University of Idaho wide receiver Ken McRoyal was shot and killed at around 1:30 a.m. Sunday morning at a Los Angeles party, according to a Los Angeles TV station. UI confirmed McRoyal's death, but provided no details. McRoyal, a senior-to-be and former walk-on from the…
A GRIP ON SPORTS So what's a blogger to do on Mother's Day? Tell a story about mom? Would that be present enough? It's going to have to be. Read on.
A GRIP ON SPORTS As most of you know, I'm a big Felix Hernandez booster. The guy can pitch, it's as simple as that. But yesterday evening, I found myself quietly rooting for Hernandez to fail. Don't judge me. Read on.
COUGARS FROM SEATTLE -- There's just enough news to link to on this Saturday that we'll put together a morning post for you. Read on.
It wasn't exactly how you draw it up. Spokane survived a sloppy, penalty- and turnover-filled game to pull out a 68-62 win over New Orleans on Friday night. Some of the uneven play was to be expected with Spokane working in seven new starters and…
COUGARS FROM SEATTLE -- Over on the west side of the state for a few days, and the WSU news keeps coming -- Cougfan.com is reporting that Paul Wulff has been hired as an offensive assistant for the San Francisco 49ers. I've spent the last…
It's been a while since Spokane played an AFL home game. It was April 14 when the Shock thrashed Milwaukee. The Shock then had a bye, defeated Jacksonville on the road before losing big at Utah last Friday. Now they're back home with several new…
A GRIP ON SPORTS When I started this morning, the temperature outside was in the mid-30s. Now it is in the mid-40s. Oh the power of sunshine. Now if the sun could only make up for no Mariner game and little other news to link.…
COUGARS FROM PULLMAN -- There are a few reports circulating today that 6-foot-10 center James Hunter, who played at Gillette (junior) College the past two seasons, has committed to play at Washington State.

The moves keep coming for the Spokane Shock. The team put OL Palauni Ma Sun (knee) and DL Jonathan Williams (shoulder) on injured reserve and signed three players, including two who have worn Shock jerseys in the past. Spokane is bringing back LB Levi Madarieta,…
Spokane is one beat up football team. The team practiced Tuesday at the Arena with the number of sidelined players (11) chasing the number that suited up (20). There were several new faces and probably will be a few more before the Shock take the…
A GRIP ON SPORTS A little known fact: I grew up next to a major league baseball pitcher. A former Mariners pitcher. And, from time to time, I would spend a few days with him in Seattle. Once, while driving to the Kingdome, he made…

Przemek Karnowski, the 7-foot-1 Polish center who verbally committed to Gonzaga last week, followed up by signing his letter of intent. He's the likely replacement to Robert Sacre. His commitment to GU is partly the result of assistant coach Tommy Lloyd's overseas connections and diligence…
