New goals confront WSU

COUGARS

The goals have changed. That’s the theme of Glenn Kasses’ story in today’s S-R. And it makes sense.

Who would have thought, after the past few years, Washington State would be 16-3 and ranked in the top 20 at this point in time?

My hand isn’t up. And, if you’re being honest, yours isn’t either.

But that’s where the Cougars sit right now, with Oregon State (Thursday) and No. 7 Oregon (Saturday) coming to town this weekend. Do you know that Saturday’s game will be the first in Pullman ever between two ranked teams?

Talk about a season of firsts. An NCAA berth wouldn’t add to that – the Cougars have been there before – but it would be a nice compliment.
