For the first time this season the Cougars are on a normal game week schedule and that means the press conference finally held on a Monday. If this keeps up we'll actually have Thursday Night Football on the day for which it's named.

There was a lot of news yesterday, such as the fact that two former starting receivers will redshirt this season, some new faces on an updated depth chart and the fact that the Cougars are offering standing-room only tickets to the sold-out Oregon game. Furthermore, we have a video and transcription of coach Mike Leach's press conference, a First Look at Portland State and our story for today's paper. We also have our unit grades for the Nevada game.

Whew.

Various links from around the conference are after the jump.
