Cougs up by 6 near the end of the 3rd. On Pac-12 network

"What are blue-chip prospects from coast-to-coast doing all day, every day?"

"Looking at their iPhones.".

I'm sure all you frat rats will condemn me for this thread, but too bad. I forget whether Theta Chi is the "date rapers" or "wife beaters" frat (my ex was a sorority girl, so I know some of the nicknames), but never mind.

WTF. How can a 19 year old at WSU kill himself? F-you Theta Chi. Maybe I should go rogue and show up and shoot all you f-ers. That would be some hazing, eh?

Split a doubleheader in San Diego at a windy Tony Gwynn Stadium on the campus of SDSU

GAME 1 UC Irvine 8 WSU 3

In the nightcap, the Cougs played spoiler to the hosts downing SDSU 14-1

Cougs stand at 5-1 on the young season with two more games to go, weather permitting, in unseasonably cold and wet San Diego

Time to lighten things up again. So my favorite band of all time is UFO. I have about 20 of their CD's, saw them live in Chicago back in 2017. Fantastic band, great music, much of it melodic hard rock. Stumbled across the autobiography of bassist Pete Way (rip) at my storage unit, reading it again. He was a crazy MoFo. A quote from I think Rush, during a concert where UFO was the opening act. "We were backstage, and suddenly the bass stopped. Pete had fallen off the stage".

Anyway, wonder is any other Cougs know who UFO is. The have been around since 1969. Trying to do their final 50 year tour, sidelined by Covid then singer Phil Mogg had a heart attack. Probably won't see them in the US again. They mostly stick to Europe.

So how about a thread on everyone's favorite rock and roll bands and stories?

So says a poster at Brand X, who claims the building needs LED lighting to make it pop for recruits. Apparently, CJD also wants new locker rooms.

Have a hard time believing the FOB is "outdated" ... what is it – like 6 or 7 years old?

I still doubt that is what Dr. Schultz is referring to when he talks about he and Chin knowing they need to build a first-class IPF

Klay set a record recently and is playing well. Good to see. (Dick Kim)

I don't want to jinx them so I won't say anything...but wow!! 💪💪

Let's make it four in a row!

Cougs gonna F around and lose this.

Rumblings on various sites that the deal for them to join the P12 is done. Not official yet, but it seems like the right time.

Just upset the Bruins and Wallack hits a 3 at the end of the shot clock to push the lead to 6 with under a minute left.

Bella with a great game and a perfec 7 for 7 from the line. What an improvement!

Clark with some great minutes

Total team effort.

The WSU boss is quoted for a story in the San Jose Mercury News today:

Dr. Schultz seems optimistic a deal is just around the corner.

“A lot of presidents are talking back and forth,” he said. “It’s not just the 10 of us getting together for a meeting. There are individual calls. We’re asking how people are feeling. What are certain schools looking for? There are a lot of conversations going on, and with the commissioner, as well. Some schools have a little trepidation about what (the media deal) will look like. But I don’t feel at all like anyone is spiraling off into places of despair.”

Sounds like schools leaving the conference just for more dollars is overrated.

“People generally look at this like it’s a chessboard and think, ‘Of course, Oregon and Washington will go somewhere else.’ But (presidents) actually look at what’s good for the student-athletes and what rivalries will look like,” Schulz said.

"Fans think about the money. But are you really improving your situation? A lot of schools have thought the grass was greener, and they went after more money, but they haven’t enjoyed the change. Winning matters. The idea that the most money makes the most sense, I don’t know about that.”

The president said we should hear something about the agreement in "mid-March, hopefully."

Now don't get me wrong.... couldn't have happened to a more deserving team. However...I think this is a BS call by the umpires to eject the kid. Was it the bat flip? The swipe across the jersey? I've seen far, far worse!

About time that the staff looks at some early Tony Bennett film. He utilized Robbie quite effectively to break these presses. All of these backwards passes are horrible.

Seems that there are tons of ideas out there on how to do this. All I can say is that we are very bad it and it has gone on for far to long.

I watched a bit. Pretty good.

Last night on KXLY sports Smith said the NBA has all the info they need on Gueye. Gueye will make the best decision for himself based on NBA feedback. I assume if he gets a deal like Elleby got or is a first rounder he's gone. If it doesn't work out Smith expects Gueye will be back at WSU.

He’s exercising his Covid year and coming back. Wow.

UW.

Nice victory by the men 68-65. Gueye had 18 points and 12 rebounds. Four of the five starters had double digit scoring, and Rodman had 9. They are in 7th place with an 8-9 conference record. They finish up with 10th place Stanford, last place Cal, and 8th place uw. Unfortunately, all three games are on the road. I think if Abe had stayed and Dishon were healthy all year, this team makes the NCAA's. But he didn't, he wasn't, and they won't.

After letting a 1st quarter lead slip, Coug's pretty much controlled the game. I think they had a total of 27-0 run at the start of each quarter. I don't think I have seen that before. One quarter it was Teder for 7 to open the quarter, another quarter it was Bella for 6 to open the quarter. CL-W is still struggling shooting, but played good defense and does a good job setting up others. She also scored late to basically seal the game. Teder, Bella, and Ula had really good games.

Oregon had a NET 21, so a really good win for us. As long as we don't totally faceplant the last 3 games we are pretty safe to get to the Tournament 3 straight years.

Kami's done a fantastic job. She's easily the best hoops coach we have seen in Pullman since Tony & Dick IMO.

Nice start

Waaaaaaahhhh!

Only got to see the first half last night but that's the best 3-point shooting I can remember by the Cougs. 8-8 to begin the game. They missed a couple of layups but couldn't miss from deep. I knew when Gueye banked in a straight on 25-footer to beat the shot clock it was going to be a crazy night. Gueye a perfect 9-9 from the field, the team shooting nearly 60% for the game and 58% from 3-point line. Relatively easy win over the Beavers. One more home game left....Sunday vs. UO.
