View full size photo » It's all down to one game. Too bad we have to wait a week for it. Oregon's thrilling overtime win over Arizona in Tucson has set up a Civil War game for the conference and Rose Bowl berth. It's amazing what a single week of games can do. From unbelievably complicated scenarios for the conference title to a simple, winner take all contest. Elsewhere, we had Stanford falling at home to Cal in The Big Ga...

I can't remember so many teams and so many possibilities to sort through for the Pac-10 championship this late in the season. Here's all I know right now. Oregon and Arizona control their own destinies...I think. There are six teams currently bowl eligible, UCLA and Arizona St. still have the chance to get there and preseason favorite USC can finish any...

Washington State back staves off amputation, death after knee injury

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 12:36:42 -0500

Not to be cold-hearted, but as far as football injuries go, James Montgomery's wonky knee seemed like a fairly routine ailment when Washington State's leading rusher left in the fourth quarter of the Cougars' eventual overtime win over SMU. Montgomery thought so, too -- he wasn't even sure when he had sustained it -- except the pain kept getting worse after the game, until he was forced to visit the team doctor, a former WSU player, who politely informed Montgomery that the d...

Cougars buying in

Thu, 03 Sep 2009 04:37:53 -0500

PULLMAN — It was a year ago, before a single game had been played under new coach Paul Wulff and a revamped Washington State coaching staff, when Chima Nwachukwu sensed that something was amiss with the Cougars football team. Players questioned the demands of the coaches. Coaches questioned the commitment of the players. Offensive players struggled to adapt to the newly installed no-huddle scheme. Defensive players often failed to line up properly before the snap of the ball.

Pac-10 Preview: Cougars Are The Definition of Rebuilding

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 14:29:16 -0500

Much like their cross state rivals, the Washington State Cougars are thirsty for success. It has been years since the Cougars were regarded as one of the better teams in the conference, let alone the country. The unfortunate part for the Cougars is that the struggle of returning to their winning ways may be a grueling one. Browsing up and down the depth chart, it is difficult to find anyone that really made an impact on the team last season. If they did, it was either for the wrong reasons or...

Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:17:41 -0500

PULLMAN – The Washington State football team opened training camp Sunday with a lengthy list of questions to answer before the season opener, but one of the Cougars’ biggest questions was quietly answered behind the scenes a few weeks ago. Junior wide receiver Jeshua Anderson, the only WSU receiver with more than 11 career catches, revealed that he did not decide to turn down pro track offers and return to school until mid-July.

Cougar Corner | WSU O-Line Has a Solid Foundation with Kenny Alfred

Sat, 08 Aug 2009 19:24:10 -0500

Pac-10 Football Media Day was all about conference schools putting their best foot forward. Each school was represented by their head football coach and one player to represent their team. After careful thought and consideration, Washington State Cougar Coach Paul Wulff opted to bring senior center and All-Pac-10 candidate Kenny Alfred. Selecting a player to represent the team, the school, and the direction of a football program isn't as simple as it sounds. Sinc...

Good morning to you all, great Coug Nation. Hope the week is winding down on a positive note for you? At least it is now very positive for LeAndre Daniels and Tyree Toomer. We remember the story with Daniels and Toomer, where they were spotted walking off with a couple of bikes that didn't exactly belong to them? Something else with a hacksaw may or may not have been involved? Well, turns out that NO CHARGES are to be filed! Once again, the liberal, left-wing media makes something out of ...
