Craig Bray, who held multiple defensive coaching positions at Washington State and Idaho in the ’80s and ’90s and is the father of WSU defensive coordinator Trent Bray, died Tuesday of a heart attack.

Kirby Moore is the kind of guy you could get a beer with.

BOISE – Gem State football fans have been waiting 16 years for Idaho and Boise State to renew their football rivalry. They'll only have to wait five more years.

The eight-team conference settled on a home-and-home model to fill the gap.

PULLMAN – Washington State’s first schedule in the rebuilt Pac-12 is here, and the Cougars’ lineup looks like none other in program history.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – In a buzzing auditorium in Alabama, nobody really knew who Cooper Kupp was. It was the 2017 Senior Bowl, back when Kupp was a largely anonymous wide receiver out of Eastern Washington, and when they shook his hand, members of the Mobile community had to guess what position he played.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Long before he turned his life over to football, Efton Chism III could really swing it. Playing baseball growing up, he found a niche in the outfield in the Monroe area, using his speed to patrol the green and his bat speed to rack up hits at the plate.

SAN FRANCISCO – Luther Elliss must have thought his phone was going to burst into flames. Moments after his son delivered one of the signature hits of the NFL season, laying out New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart with a vicious tackle along the sideline, he got texts from all kinds of people: friends, family, reporters, all of whom wanted his thoughts.

As a young Seattle Seahawk, John Yarno recalls lining up on a hash mark before games and rigidly holding his helmet in the crook of his left arm during the national anthem.

The Eastern Washington football team announced the signing of 15 players on Wednesday, filling in some gaps left by those who entered the transfer portal in January.

SAN FRANCISCO – The place where Kyle Williams’ dreams first began to blossom is no bigger than a city block. It’s called Rowley Park, a relatively small outfit in the north end of Gardena, one of the Los Angeles suburbs where Williams grew up.

The start of the college football season is seven months away, but Wednesday was a big day for the Washington Huskies and Demond Williams Jr.

PULLMAN – For the second consecutive offseason, Washington State’s football program is turning a new page under a first-year head coach. After three years as the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator at Missouri, Kirby Moore takes the reins in Pullman with a strong incoming class of recruits and transfers.

Seconds after the Mountain West revealed its long-awaited media rights deal Tuesday morning – actually, it was more like nanoseconds – comparisons to the Pac-12's media agreement commenced.

Another signing day has arrived at Washington State, where they seem to be piling up by the bushel.

Forced to choose, we would side with Washington State whether the timeframe is this moment, the next year or the next five years. And frankly, it's not particularly close.

Three days after Indiana completed its masterpiece, college football delivered another stunner: The Hoosiers’ victory over Miami in the College Football Playoff championship attracted 30.1 million viewers, according to ESPN.

The 2025 season is in the books, which puts the rebuilt Pac-12 on the clock. Kickoff is just eight months away. There is no schedule, no location for the conference championship, no tiebreaker procedure and no bowl lineup.

To the untrained eye, he was practically invisible. Halfway through Sunday’s NFC Championship Game between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, Cooper Kupp — a 32-year-old wide receiver deeply invested in the outcome — was conspicuously missing from the box score, having failed to catch either of the targets that came his way.
