    Interesting thread from the WSU board (linked)

    Coug here. Ignore the West Coast sports journalism. All we hear out here is about a coach leaning on a prof to protect an academically deficient player and then the recent arrests you have suffered. It is lazy reporting. These folks have to put out one article a day so some just take what...

    Game Notes from Washington State

    Bingo!! Give the man a cigar. We had no clue and their QB played us like a cheap violin. Our new DC failed miserably in his first game.

    Breaking Down Wazzu

    Although denied by the team it looked very much to me that we were overconfident. The offense was vanilla in the first half with a lot of running, especially for a Mike Leach offense. The weather is a weak excuse. We should have won handily in a blizzard. If you folks can run a read-option I...

    Washington State punted twice

    We actually punted three times. One got blocked. As mentioned above, we also had a field goal blocked so, yes, your special teams guys must be licking their chops about now. Leach will go for it on fourth down more than any other coach that I know of. Almost regardless of field position so...

    Portland State Upsets WSU

    Falk was throwing on the sidelines after being removed. There were only about two minutes left in the game and he never went back in. He looked fine to me. The injury seems relatively minor and I expect him to be recovered and starting at Piscataway.

    2015 Game By Game Predictions

    Another Coug here. Geoduck is (Why the hell does spellcheck not acknowledge geoduck? A perfectly valid name for a clam found out here.) pretty accurate in his assessment of the situation. Both teams reportedly have large sized young men on the OL. We have the advantage in continuity. Not...

    WSU is nothing to worry about

    Halliday set NCAA records for passing last year and, yes, he is gone. The dropoff, however, will most likely not be to the extent that some expect. Falk and his backup, Bender, possess promise in spades. Falk is expected to surpass Halliday's records and probably Bender will surpass some of...

    WSU is nothing to worry about

    Maybe, maybe not. Our DL is almost entirely Polynesian. Those Polys are big boys and I would not be so sure. We will see in a few weeks, won't we?

    WSU is nothing to worry about

    Our OL is also a strong point. All five return and with deeper and more experienced depth behind them. Might be a push. (We will see your Lumpkin and raise with Cody OConnell 6'8" 350 lbs.) I am not familiar with your offensive capabilities but Wazzu seems loaded. I give us the edge here...

    WSU is nothing to worry about

    Yes, I think he will but don't expect three yards and a cloud of dust. Leach's offense uses four receivers (no tight end) and one running back. At least, that is the usual formation. His philosophy concerning a balanced attack is not 50/50 rushing/passing. It is rather to get equal touches...

    WSU is nothing to worry about

    I find it interesting that Rutgers supporters almost unanimously predict a win. WSU fans tend to see a win for the Cougs but not quite to the degree that Rutgers fans do. Yet, unless I missed it, no one expects a rout either way. Optimistic biases make up the difference in expectations...

    Kayak recomendations

    If you are just talking about day trips then I would recommend a Coaster from Mariner Kayaks. The Broze brothers are no longer in business and I don't know how many are available back East but if you can find one in the want ads, grab it. Relatively small and without a rudder but extremely...

    Kayak recomendations

    No, no, no, no!! Sit-on-tops are for calm waters and warm conditions. Remember that you are exposed to the water and weather in the sit-on-tops. Enclosed kayaks drain water nicely as well as keep one relatively warm during all but the coldest days. I don't know the climatic conditions you...

    Special teams quandry for Wash. St.?

    Coug here. Yep, our STs are a complete black hole. Placekicking last year was miserable. A 19 yard field goal failure cost us the Cal game. Our punter was adequate, mediocre but adequate. He, a walk-on, quit the team after Leach wouldn't give him a scholarship. Our long snappers graduated...

    OT: Most College Football Player Arrests by team since 2010

    Coug here. Yep, this is pretty damn embarrassing. We have been in the Fulmer Cup top ten for the past decade or so. I would like to point out a couple of things in our defense though. None of the arrests have been particularly serious, i.e. rapes, armed robbery etc. Lots of stupid stuff...
