A GRIP ON SPORTS I am not ready for this. I get up to get a cup of coffee, look outside and it's raining. Not a nice summer shower either. A cold, nasty, hard late fall type rain. hat the heck? I blame all you…
Eastern is doing its best to treat Washington as just another game, but that's hard to do, as my story shows. ... Lots of news on the Huskies (as always), including a Seattle Times feature on speedy receiver John Ross III, and news that linebacker…
Washington State's roster was updated yesterday to include the walk-ons that joined the team when classes started. There are plenty of new names to file away in case one of them turns into an Elliot Bosch or Luke Falk and contributes for the Cougars. One…

They couldn't get the game played on Saturday night, which immediately raised questions whether it will get played at all. But an announcement on whether Idaho and Florida will reschedule the 2014 season opener that was first declared "terminated" and then simply "suspended" due to…
