Arizona St...

Yeah I hope Tech wins all the rest of their games. It’ll make us look better.
I can’t seem to find it in my heart to wish that the Fuskies would win all the rest of their games though. Yes it would make the Apple cup win look even better nationwide. But Nah….
I might have to watch the end of that one. Much as I swore not to watch or follow any of thre traitors, I have this morbid interest in them. Always rooting for them to get beat of course. I too hope TT (and SJSU) win a bunch of games. No-brainer there. mutts? Naw, I hope they lose every game. F them. Finally ran into this woman with a mutt shirt on. Yelled Go Cougs at her. I'm such an adult. :)

is getting boat raced by Texas Tech.

Not really boat raced, but the score is 24-10. Tech. End of the 3rd Qtr.

I think we are at a point socially in football where any team that wins a double OT game is going to have students and fans rush the field. If we’d beat them by 4TDs nobody goes on the field. We came back from the dead to win a thriller. I have zero problem with it in that context.
I also think the students that didn’t make it to Seattle last week felt like they’d missed out.

UNLV and Utah State

Unlv (Las Vegas) is a phenomenal location for conference championship and our new conference can make a lot of noise in doing so.

I think Las Vegas airport might be the easiest to use in all major cities
Continue to hold Pac-12 championships there like the conference has been doing w/o UNLV? Vegas is a great place for that, I agree. But you don't need add a school that will be a financial drain to do that, or UNLV would already be a Pac-12 member. You get all the upside of Vegas w/o the UNLV downside, i.e. no fan base.

BSU is a completely different test. Best RB in the country with a very average QB. Not sure that’s a better or worse matchup for us considering how SJS gashed us with the run. Needless to say there will be 8 in the box most of the night with man coverage all over the field to try and slow Jeanty down. He’s gonna get his yards and we will need to force FGs. Looks like their defense is questionable, so may see another game like last night.

SJSU didn't gash WSU with the run.

What SJSU did do is gash WSU with the PASS, and PASSED about 83% of time, and of the about 17% to 20% of time SJSU pased, about 3 were BIG PLAYS, and there was about 1,2 that were 4,5,6,7,8 yards, and about 4,5,6, that were -1,0,1,2,3 yard gains.

Only the 2,3 BIG RUN PLAYS made a difference. The rest of SJSU run plays, didn't have much difference on the game, except 1,2 drives that were sustained by 1,2 5 yard running first downs. So SJSU pretty much didn't GASH WSU with the RUN.

What SJSU did do is GASH WSU WITH PASS about 83% of time, which forced WSU to rush 4, drop 7 back into coverage, and even that didn't help, and then SJSU would 17% of time run against that rush 4, drop 7, that led to about 2,3 big running plays.

UNLV and Utah State

I don't get the UNLV love. Traditionally they are a bad bad football program. Four bowl games in school history (Fresno 31). They have lost more than 60 percent of their games. Game attendance is dismal. They had only 5 games that were broadcasted last year (Boise had 10, Fresno 8). In basketball they last won the MWC in 2000, its been more than 30 years since Tark roamed the floor. Yeah, Vegas is a holiday hub, but... is that why you invite a school to join a conference in need of a lucrative TV deal. No one in Vegas or elsewhere gives a crap about UNLV. Virtually everyone who lives in Vegas is from somewhere other than Nevada. What am I missing?

First game I've been able to watch most of

Agreed that SJSU is a good team. We played terrible on defense most of the night.

This team - like last year - wins some big games and then thinks they are world beaters. That’s on Jake. He’s got to keep his emotions in check after big wins and keep the motivation going to make sure we are ready to go for every game.

Big test next weekend and we better be ready

UNLV and Utah State

I didn’t see anything imminent. Looks like UNLV and Utah St. are the remaining targets from MWC. Air Force is also receiving the info but it sounds like they are interested in the AAC too. Memphis turning this down, in what will be a good Bball conference is crazy. They might be getting some dark line phone calls from big12 or acc to stand pat.
Here you go. Memphis, etc. would have to pay $27M each to leave the AAC. Basically the same as the MW poaching+exit fees. Allright, go get UNLV and one other to get to 8 and stand pat for now.

Really cool shot here. Right after the final play a bunch of Cougs go congratulate Emmett Brown on a helluva game. Respect. Dude balled out and I’m sure he wanted that one REALLY bad. He’s a damn good QB, didn’t even know before this week much about him or that he transferred there, but rooting for the kid going forward

Don’t forget the head coach declaring he was bailed out by the kids because he was out coached.

This team struggles to win 6 in a usual Pac 12 schedule. But this isn’t a usual schedule. This is the weakest schedule ever for WSU. So we will see what happens.

So what you’re saying is Dickfore has
made the roster weaker and the program worse? Careful, this kind of reality won’t go over well around here.
Not much to add to the other replies. Dickert said exactly the right thing after the game, and it will resound with the team. That's called motivation. 4-0, on the cusp of the Top 25, 2 P4 wins, Apple Cup win, and here you are crying. No surprise that you failed as a coach.

I used to live in Boise for several years during the dark ages (Wulff era). For smugness and an entitled attitude they rival the mutts.
Sidenote... Waved old crimson down there when game day came for Boise and oregon. Herbstreit came up to us flag waivers after the game and said I can't wait to get to Pullman once you guys become relevant again. All of the game day people at the time we're really nice to us.

What is the X board
If you go to the X board you will find Plenty of treads where they mention WSU and trash us. Last nights win wasn’t pretty but they laugh how our fans rushed the field, plenty of Cougd it comments ect. I seriously hate them with a passion and fall right under UW. I’m sure you can find a few good fans but I still hate them as a whole.
Ya know...

You do realize that this board isn't monitored anymore, right?

Brand X, Brand Y, etc. We can start calling these boards by their names.

Cougfan (dead Zombie site)
Die Hard Cougs (for Facebook lovers).
CougCenter (uhhh.....no comment).

What else are we missing?

I had no idea how good he was at color. Really impressed. I thought he was outstanding. Anyone else?
You do know that Bump has his own morning show at KIRO ESPN Sports Radio in Seattle?

Pretty amazing for what he's accomplished, (career wise) the past 10 years, or so.
