Easy win for Cougs in Brisbane

COUGARS, VANDALS

Sorry, but I couldn’t find a link out of Australia for WSU’s 85-70 win Monday over the Southern Districts Spartans, which raised the Cougs’ record to 3-2 on the Down Under basketball tour. However we do have some news.

It was the usual suspects leading the way, Robbie Cowgill, Derrick Low, Daven Harmeling and Kyle Weaver. For the release from the WSU sports information office, click the full entry link below.

• Some of you might remember former University of Idaho and NFL linebacker Ryan Phillips. If you do, do you remember how big he was, about 6-foot-4 and more than 230 pounds, when he played?

Well, he’s not that big anymore. Can’t be. He’s now an Ironman. As in he will be participating in the Ford Ironman Coeur d’Alene later this month. Check out Jim Meehan’s story about the football player turned swimmer/biker/runner. There is also more on Jim’s Vandal blog .
