A little disappointed that the 6 win (bowl eligible!!) football team is the athletics site splash page and not the ladies.

Not really. The football game was last night, so that is the story. After the game, especially if the women win, I expect them to be the lead.

Football butters the bread, and is the overwhelmingly more popular program. This is empirical, but I’d guess that out of every 1,000 webpage visits, 975 are mostly interested in the football program.

Coug's out on top 1-0:

 

[kugrz98]

1-0 WSU in the 15th minute. MAKAMAE GOMERA-STEVENS pounced on a loose ball at the top of the box and curled in the top right corner...

 

[kugrz98]

Two very questionable offsides calls on the Cougs....

Two very questionable offsides calls on the Cougs....

Agreed. Last one on weaver looked off but the two before looked like great timed runs and were called late. Believe those were both on and would have led to breakaways, should be at least 2-0. Pac 12 football refs getting some side work on as soccer linesmen?

 

[kugrz98]

Wow, I thought the WV girl equalized on a well time run. Might need VAR....

Well if they are gonna call it that close at least they are consistent. Whew.

Great game, 1-0 WSU at the half. I just wish the announcer would learn to announce that a player is "offside". His US football roots are showing every time he says "offsides". A surprisingly blatant mistake for a soccer announcer....

They couldn’t get Taylor Twellman for this one? WTF?

WEAVER

2-0 Cougs, Morgan Weaver breakaway 64th

 

[SaveFerris]

Go Coug's!

 

[kugrz98]

3-0 Weaver in the 70th

 

[BleedCrimsonandGray]

Cougs 3-0 commanding lead now!

They look great!

 

[SaveFerris]

Wow! Weaver again with a rocket strike to make it 3-0!

 

[Coug90]

En Fuego!

Final four action.

 

[ElComanche]

Well the women s "football team" has had far more success this year than the men s team. In Basketball the women s team has shown more promise so far. The women cougs are now carrying the banner for the AD right now.

Final four action.

I thought they made it to the elite 8

I thought they made it to the elite 8

Simply looking ahead to the PAC 12 Final Four!

 

[Coug1990]

Three Pac 12 teams have punched their ticket to the final eight: Stanford, USC and WSU. UCLA has a two goal lead with about 15 minutes left. So, the conference is showing just how tough they are with four teams making the final eight.

 

[cr8zyncalif]

1990, it is sweet indeed to see a team with 6 losses (us) beat teams with 1 loss. A number 1 ranking, no less! The only time I remember that happening in school history was 1988 against #1 UCLA in football.

Of the eight teams remaining, seven are ranked in the top nine nationally. And then there are the Cougs.

I think this team is quite worthy of a top 7-8 ranking but like everything else, East Coast and big market bias. F em. #CougsVsEverybody

Looking forward to them advancing. Being in the last 8 is really good though.

 

[wazzubruce]

Go Lady Cougs!

 

[OrangeGravy]

They pretty much dominated the 2nd half. They won looking like the best team there the last 2 games. Their style is really wreaking havoc on those teams that aren't used to giving up any goals. UVA only gave up 8 goals all season before giving up 3 to our ladies.

3 ranked teams in the tourney,

yeah, the question will be:

after the tourney, how do you justify moving an unranked team all the way up to whatever place they finish? I mean, if they lose next week, they are logically either the 7th or 8th best team in the nation, correct?

This is probably a sport that shouldn't use rankings until the season is over, for just this reason. They can't possibly have enough eyes watching all the teams to make educated rankings.

FWIW, ranked ahead of them are a 6 loss UW, NC St, and Penn St team, a 5 loss FL St team, and lets not forget the 8 loss Florida team. (RPI rankings)
