Another easy win 61-49 over Montana. Bella had very good game 22 points and 11 rebounds. CLW had another tough night from the field but still scored 19.

Their fans would be in such a frenzy if they hired a coach w a record of 4-8 or 5-7. Obviously w the precarious position our athletic department is in we won't fire him, but we better after next season. Boise St, SDSU and Miss St didn't wait very long. The longer we wait the longer it will take the next coach to dig us out.

Judge ruled in favor of WSU/OSU. Injunction remains in effect. WSU/OSU are the governing members, but must create agendas and notify the other 10. The 10 can make comments & recommendations, but WSU/OSU are the only voters.

Nobody's supposed to take advantage of anyone else.

Kinda feels like the decision was made before the hearing started. Judge even admitted he hasn't read the bylaws.

UW lawyer announced that they'll seek immediate appellate relief, so the decision will not be in effect until the end of the week.

I think Dickert limits what the OC can do. Nothing over the middle to the TE. Nothing creative other than the dink and dunk stuff we say last year. I don't think this is on Arbuckle.

You put 8 in the box and you have a soft o-line and run game that can't muster up yards.

We need creativity and utilizing more of the field to move the chains.

Article addresses changes to eliminate automatic bid for PAC-12 and requiring leagues to have 8+ teams for eligibility. Middle of the article acknowledges that the 11 conference presidents on the Board to include Kirk Schultz have to unanimously agree. And they for some reason assume all will. Why the F would Schultz agree to these changes? Unless we get a power 5 invite in return? Thoughts?

I think it should be noted that the rumor is that what's his nuts got booted for his THIRD weed infraction, so before anyone says "people shouldn't get kicked off the team for weed" be aware of the reported "facts".

That being said - there has always been a double standard with weed and booze, but I'm guessing booze has a three strikes rule as well.

I feel like what's his nuts was more a case of "this kid is too stupid to even break the rules without getting caught" thing going on.

Discuss...

Brady Hoke retires from SDSU
Ray Anderson (ASU) resigns as AD.
Jimbo Fischer (A&M) leaves with a 75M parachute.
Zack Arnett (Miss St) gone after 11 games.


Curious whether Harbaugh stays or goes back to the pros.

Anyone else fully expecting to lose and or have a resolution that muddies the water and leaves us in a prolonged limbo? This year has been pretty trying for the program and I am jaded enough that I can see tomorrow being a day that winds up poorly just when we thought it wouldn’t.

2 recruits have been arrested. For those that even care. I can’t talk WSU football ha ha

Our top rated recruit, Trae Davis, just decommitted, and OL Konner Gomness & Ma'ake Fifita are forgoing their final years of eligibility from their covid waivers.

Here we go.....

Hope no one is butt hurt over their excellence!!!

No, not any of mine. Cougs are kicking ass in Women's BB and VB.

Early game from Germany. Up 7-3 in the 3rd.

Per Mississippi State insider on Brand X network:

NICK ROLOVICH

Currently: Offensive coordinator, Seattle XFL

Age: 44

Alma Mater: Hawaii

Salary: $500,000

Buyout: Not Available

Resume: 2024-present, Seattle XFL (offensive coordinator); 2020-21, Washington State (head coach); 2016-19, Hawaii (head coach); 2012-15, Nevada (offensive coordinator, quarterbacks); 2008-11, Hawaii (offensive coordinator, quarterbacks); 2006-07, City College of San Francisco (quarterbacks)

Points of Interest: Replaced Mike Leach as head coach at Washington State when Leach took the Mississippi State job…Rolovich was dismissed from Washington State when he would not take the COVID vaccine in October 2021

Why He Makes Sense: Former Power 5 head coach, with offensive coaching background

What Makes You Worry: Has never coached in the SEC or the Southeast

- - - - - - - - -

Obviously worked well when WSU hired Coach Leach back in 2020.

Maybe the Bulldogs are looking for lightning to strike twice by hiring CML's successor?

Made the trip. Practiced all week. Dickert said he will play this week. Not playing today??

Portal?

From the as usual, all-knowing and all seeing Loyal One.

G-damn - we had this game. I hope someone slipped a pint to Janikowski for the trip home. Feel for him. As an old Baseball pitcher, it sucked doggie d*&^s to give up that game-losing HR.

As stated before - Ward is phenomenal or a train wreck. He throws too hard and doesn't run enough. I want him to bail so we can have Mateer (swoon) for a year or two. Can you imagine him and Livvy doing an ad for Luovi (spelling?) Just sayin'. "Oh, I like to practice my gymnastics on the beach, especially with my BFF John Mateer." Cha-ching. And it's not all about sex?

Elsewhere - WTF Oklahoma State? 3-45 against UCF? Nice choke job Utah. The rest - meh.

So yeah. At least Colorado lost. We have a shot next week before the ass-whipping the mutts will give us. Saw a couple of "them" in the last couple of days. One homeless-looking F in a 20+ year old mutt shirt at the mini mart. Of course the mighty one was decked out in his Coug hat and lovely Coug parka. It's f-ing cold here in YakiVegas. Came in handy after the debacle as I finally rode my 1977 Yamaha 750 triple down into storage for the winter. Sweet bike. Couple of honies said "oh is that your bike?" Yep - see me in the Spring. I have 2 helmets. Hah hah Spongy and Gibby. And all due respect to the pristine and virtuous Vandal Julie.

Looking morbidly forward to Nov 14th.

Cam Ward is a baller. Yeah, he needs to work on ball control. But come on. He has a Big Sky OL. Until the last couple of weeks, his RB’s have been afraid to hit a hole. And his receivers are below pedestrian. Sure, Victor is a nice slot guy but the lack of outside speed and size hampers the hell out of him. Give him Odunze and Polk and he would would be Michael Penix reincarnated.

Let out the frustration or fold

She's a senior and knows many of them.
Jenkins got caught smoking weed for the third time. Bye bye.
Team has bailed on Dickert due to the feeling (belief?) that he has accepted in principle an offer to coach elsewhere next year. Supposedly he shared this with the team. Hard to believe he would be that stupid but evidently he did.
Take it for what it's worth.

Pulled his hamstring....so I'll take back that piece of my criticism.

He sure brought it today though.

Is an idiot, we move the ball only when we go up tempo, so why does he keep itslowed down most of the time

This time I mean it

WSU. 37-22

Big 12?

Posting here because it's early in the season and not many visitors on the bball board.

Coach K is as good as it gets...on any level and in any sport. She gets the absolute most out of her talent...and they just grind.

Reminds me of those 2 Butler teams that made it to the finals in back to back years.
