Test your knowledge in John Blanchette's WSU bowl trivia, if you dare ... Bud Withers has a column about how WSU's NFL alumni finally have some locker room ammo ... Colorado State has been keeping busy in New Mexico ... The second season has been the charm for both New Mexico Bowl coaches ... Ben Reynolds has the story from WSU's win over San Francisco State.
