Anyone know what it is he is supposed to be acting out?

Looks like an elephant or something to me, but I'm just and old guy so what do I know?

The new generation

Sirius radio interview from yesterday:

1. “"At end of the day, YouTube videos aren't going to win football games,"

From his pregame speech that was broadcast during the game

2 “Not in flash; rooted in substance, today we talk with our pads”

2. “The Cinderella story is over, they’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins, there’s a difference”

3. “This game ain’t played in Hollywood, it’s played in the grass”

Hate the ducks as much as anyone but like their coach and love the dismantling of Colorado.

What's a 23 Share?
The Seattle Market for the purpose of national ranking is made up of King, Pierce and Snohomish counties. The Seattle Market ranks #12 in the USA. New York is 1, Los Angeles #2. Chicago #3, etc. The 23 share means 23% of the total TV audience in the Seattle market were tuned to Fox 13. The 6.0 rating means 6% of all homes in the market (including homes that were not watching TV) were watching the game. As a comparison, KOMO TV's evening news had a 3.7 rating.

By the end of the season, we will have so much ridiculous evidence for ESPN and the BIG 12, that we should absolutely demand a verdict.

Evidence That Demands A Verdict

On Pac-12 Network. Hmm. Must be a contract obligation, or did ESPN and FOX turned this down? Interesting because of the records and the LA market.

Colorado is getting it handed to them.

That being said, I just saw a play where the Oregon DB grabbed the jersey at the shoulder pad and held it all the way down the field, including when the WR attempted to come back to the ball to make the catch. Can someone explain to me why that's not PI or holding? The TV honk of course says the DB has been playing clean all game right after that play, so I'm asking myself if I don't know the rules of football anymore.

Mariners play a critical game with the rangers at 4. The core PNW audience may be conflicted.

Some big CFB games on at the same time as well including ND vs tOSU. Ratings will be interesting.

As a Beaver fan it was painful, but WSU deserved the win. Will be pulling for the Cougs the rest of the way. May our flags continue to fly together.

It didn't look good for a few guys...

Washington State football has been on the rise since Jake Dickert took over head coaching duties during the 2021 season. In a sitdown with Pac-12 Networks' Jordan Robinson, Dickert explains how the Cougars are striving to be their BEST every day.

Beaver pun week is upon us. Extra credit if you can work in something about 23 year old girlfriends or denial of ED medication.

The return of Pole means deep thrusts and penetration loosen up the Beaver defense, no blue pills or yellow pills needed.

How severely do we pound the beavers Saturday?
I'm thinking that when we're through with them they'll all be lying there unable to move with quivering legs.
38-17 Cougs

But they are a lot of fun to watch. Arbuckle has made a difference with Ward, and frankly the offense itself is just a better offense. I would like to see a more effective running game but I suspect that's at least partly a personnel issue. Likewise, I'd love to see a bit more out of the run defense up front, but every time the Beavs had to pass protect, for the first three quarters anyway, it was no bueno for big DJ.

I think the 4th down and goal to try and end the game was risky and I'm pretty sure Dickert was regretting it pretty much immediately, but otherwise the play calling was pretty good, frankly better than Smith's, who did not make the most of the advantage he had on offense at the point of attack. Every time the Beavs tried to pass, the Cougs ate 'em up. Secondary played great in this game.

Finally, big shout out to Josh Kelly, who was doing his best Cris Carter impersonation and came pretty close to ending things before they could get dicey.

I don't think there's a team in the Pac that this squad absolutely cannot beat. This team is not very big, and they can be pushed around, but man they're fast, and in the right situations that compensates. Looks like the last year of the Pac is gonna be a banger.

What a pleasant site to see.

It is also nice to see the DB's in the TV screen in vertical pass plays as compared to years past.

I do think Dickert is squeezing the lemon on our talent ie getting every last ounce out of them.

This is gonna be a magical season. Enjoy!

Maybe this is because I really like this guy and what he brings to the game, but it seems like he's a weapon against a tough defense that we will use more today than we've seen before (discounting the blowout against NA last weekend)?

What do you guys think?

By the way, would OSU fall for the fake timeout play like we did vs Oregon last year?

My youngest is making the trip with me today and asked me if there’s sushi in Pullman. I’ve been getting the same postgame meal for several years, so I didn’t have an answer. I don’t see anything on yelp or TripAdvisor, so…does anyone know if there’s sushi in Pullman? And is it safe to eat before I get back in the car? I don’t want gas station deli case sushi.

of the game-day experience, video production, band direction/coordination...huge props! WAY less annoying, piped in, speaker-distorting music and a LOT more Cougar marching band!

The video-production crew does a fantastic job with their profiles and promos of the team and current NFL former COUGS.

More of THAT please! That's all I have to say about that

Gardner's stats weren't of the charts, but one TD and no Ints. But Geez, Colts FG kicker was 5-5. including 4! over 50 yards.

Number 16

We need to lock him up. Use some NIL $$ and give Buck a mil. Don't want to lose him. He's a really really good OC.

Reality check for the Sanders family. Damn Ducks are loaded.

Did a fair good job with pressure but my only thing is better tackling. We missed a few, if we can get that under control we can be a way better team. Great win nonetheless. Anyone else’s thoughts?
