What is up with that?

It's so great that the "GREAT COUG AMBASSADOR" gets on the fragile air waves of Spokane saying:

Quote

"Oregon St was asleep when they played Washington State & that's why the Cougars were able to win that ball game "

This was uttered and uttered over & over & over on the drive home.

What A Guy!

Good news for the Cougs.

2/3 picked WSU. Alliotiotiotioa was the lone ASU pick. His rational? ASU 'has' to win to stay in the Psouth race.

Does any one have an image of the special breakout uniform Russell created for a home game several years ago? As I remember, it was crimson with large lettering in the front and perhaps some shoulder color

WSU seems to play best in the all whites. Vote now!

currently 25-23 WSU 1 st

Just taking some notes. Mostly paraphrased. But a good interview, I'm sure it'll be up on podcast tonight or tomorrow.

Already doing rehab, had surgery immediately following the USC game 3 weeks ago. Thinks he'll be good to go for WSU Pro Day. Said he might possibly still get a combine invite but won't be able to physically participate. But teams will want to go through interviews and see how the leg is progressing.

Said seeing Falk play so well really picked him up and thinks he will probably break every record he owns now, and even some of the ones he doesn't. He won't have to really say much to him to help him prepare for the magnitude of a game like the Apple Cup, that Luke is so beyond where other QB's are at that age, and that he's "annoyingly competitive". That Falk is already pretty close to the same level of understanding of the game as a Freshman, as Connor is now as a senior.

Mentioned he became good friends with Cody Kessler at the Manning Camp and appreciated his gesture when the injury happened.

When he signed in 2010 he said he wanted to be the guy to bring us back to a bowl game and bring WSU back into the national spotlight. Feels like he accomplished so much even though the record this year has taken a dip.

Said the program today can't even be compared to what he walked into when he arrived. Mentioned things "not being done the right way" and the desperate need for facilities which has all happened. He said he never seriously thought about walking away throughout all
the turmoil and struggle after Leach took over and the player turnover was heavy. He wanted to be at WSU, and be remembered
amongst guys like Gesser, Ryp and Leaf.

Appreciates everything Leach has done for him, said they have a great relationship now even though they had a really rocky start at the beginning. Leach put a ton of direct pressure on him to go in one of two directions, either step up and lead or to walk away, which he embraced and he's thankful for it.

Said Apple Cup is going to be really tough for him, not sure how he's going to handle it emotionally, not being able to be out there on Senior Day to play his last game against UW.

Cougar scripted hats
Crimson tops
Gray pants

Good karma with this outfit over th pasted ace or so.

Here's the game notes for Idaho State-WSU: https://washingtonstate.rivals.com/wire.asp?SID=1089&CID=76131

Mike Leach's radio show is about to start. You can listen at the link below or follow along in our live thread, which I'll be updating periodically.

Most of the Washington State coaching staff headed out on the recruiting trail on Sunday night and the rest headed out this morning. I'll use this thread to update where the staff is headed and which prospects they're checking out as I gather the information.

New Orleans (La.) Brother Martin defensive end Brendon Hayes says he'll visit Washington State in January. The two-star does not yet have an exact date picked out but he fully expects to visit.

In addition to the Cougars, who offered a couple weeks ago, the 6-foot-4, 240-pound defensive end holds offers from Mississippi State, Tulane, Central Florida, Wake Forest, Western Kentucky and several others.

For those who have not noticed, Daugherty and her girls are on a hell of a roll. Started out the Idaho State game 40-0. Good Lord! Been watching various sports for half a century and never heard of anyone starting out a bb game by scoring the first forty points. O.K., maybe ISU is not that good but still...

And check out the LOI's on the official website. They signed the #1 and #3 international players available. Also the So. Dakota women's bb player of the year. A 6' g-f from Bulgaria rated #1 internationally, a 6'4" c from Portugal rated #3, and a 5'11' g from So. Dakota. The pick up of the two European girls is particularly impressive. The Bulgarian kid was the European MVP in 2011 during the under 16 championships, the 2014 MVP in the under 18 championships. 28 ppg, 7 rpg and 2 apg. The 6'4" center was the 2013 MVP in the under 16 European championships. 14 ppg and 11 rpg. The guard from South Dakota hit 20 ppg with 4 rpg, 2 apg and 3 spg. One pretty impressive haul. Again, check out the official website.

Watched the ISU highlights on same website. Passing and teamwork was excellent. Yes, highlights show only the best but I have not seen one of our women's teams play like that.

Will be interesting to see how the rest of the season plays out.

Washington State will host yet another big visitor for the Apple Cup as four-star cornerback Taeon Mason confirmed he'll be in Pullman next weekend on an official visit. The Pasadena (Calif.) Muir product is currently committed to USC and is rated the No. 33 cornerback in the country.

Post a recap of the Lewiston Tribune article on Kristoff?

Washington State completed the trifecta by offering Anaheim (Calif.) Servite 2018 athlete Amon-Ra St. Brown on Thursday as Dennis Simmons was at the school on Thursday checking in on Amon-Ra's older brothers, Equanimeous and Osiris. The Cougars have already offered Equanimous, a four-star receiver, a Osiris, a top prospect in the 2017 class.

Utah has also offered the three brothers and Equanimeous recently took a visit out to Utah. Last summer, Equanimeous, who is cousins with Washington State linebacker Greg Hoyd, unofficially visited Washington State with the Cougars' freshman linebacker.

Currently, Equanimeous holds no favorites and is open to all suitors, having already taken visits to Notre Dame and Utah. WSU still has Equanimeous as one of their top prospects and would love to get him on campus for another visit, but there have been no plans as of now to do that. I'll touch base with him later today to see how the visit with Simmons went.

I just spoke to Phoenix (Ariz.) Mountain Pointe offensive tackle Davis Perrott who says he'll take an official visit to Washington State for the Apple Cup. Perrott, who has already visited California and Boise State, says he'll also visit Indiana next month before making a decision between the four programs. "I'm excited to get up there and see with the Cougars are about," Perrott said.

I suspected you might lose at UTEP, but surprised to see you lost big at TCU. Are the guys just lost trying to learn Kent's system? It's always tough in the middle of both a personnel and a coaching change, but damn that was TCU, not Texas. I hope you guys get it turned around against Idaho St.

Also, who is your AD? How in the hell did you only schedule 4 home games in the OOC???? I get one of them being at Gonzaga because that's just an in state trip, but 2 games in Texas, games in Alaska, and another game in Santa Clara? Awful scheduling by your AD. He didn't do Kent any favors.

Mohamed Barry, a Kansas State commit, has been offered by Washington State. The 6-foot-1, 210-pound outside linebacker is rated three-stars by Rivals and also holds offers from Marshall, N.C. State, South Florida, Syracuse, UAB, Wake Forest and Wisconsin.

Apparently this is his girlfriend.

Sadly, given what we've witnessed these first two games, it's quite possible this will be the best thing posted on this forum this season.

Steilacoom (Wash.) linebacker Fotu Leiato will take an unofficial visit to Washington State for the Apple Cup, his coaches informed WazzuWatch.com on Wednesday. The 6-foot-0, 195-pound inside linebacker holds offers from Eastern Washington and Wyoming.
