    Holgorsen potentially to Houston?

    It is a lateral move at best. If Holgorsen is successful at UH I would expect that he will leave within two seasons for a P5 job somewhere. I am interested to see how he and his new team fare against WSU in September. Planning to make the trip to see the Coug v Coog matchup. I still can't wrap...

    Tough loss to a good team

    Can't argue that. Either point. Weather is a lame ass excuse and sadly Petersen does own Leach.

    Tough loss to a good team

    Just pointing out too that we have our own gripes, and the grapes were very sour for Cougs after the Apple Cup as well. But **** happens to all.

    Tough loss to a good team

    Spanky, 3 turn overs. Take care of the ball and this is an ISU victory.

    Tough loss to a good team

    Bravo! BoxsterCy, the grapes certainly are sour around here, good to see that someone can concede that WSU had some hand in their own victory! As to the referee points which have been made ad nauseum, I think that in most cases it evens itself over a season. Some games you get the calls (though...

    ALAMO BOWL!!!!

    Oh I could tell you were having fun and it is all in jest and that is great, no problems here. And I think it will be an Alamo Bowl Trophy in the WSU trophy case. The Athletic Department might even put a mustache on it too! :)

    ALAMO BOWL!!!!

    You kind of miss the point, but that is ok you are not a WSU fan. The mustache is just a symbol, people are attracted to Minshew's confident manner and the way he plays. He stepped into the WSU program in the wake of Tyler Hylinski's suicide, and simply led the team in practice and on the...

    Air Raid Offense started while Mike Leach was at Iowa Wesleyan

    The Huskies have some kind of voodoo on the Cougs. WSU has now lost 6 in a row against UW, yet WSU has won the last 4 against Oregon all with the same offense. Furthermore Leach is 1-3 in the four bowl games he has coached at WSU. I think it has to do more with the fact that WSU has a history...

    Minshew Speaks

    Well, Tailg8er I have to give you points for that profile picture!

    Minshew Speaks

    From what I have seen Minshew has not had to scramble much, the offensive line play has been pretty stout. Gardner usually has plenty of time to throw, or to dump it off on a short route.

    Minshew Speaks

    From what I read over on https://washingtonstate.rivals.com/ the Cougar Lair freeboard. Most Cougar fans are getting their tickets through sources other than WSU, for the main reason that the WSU Athletic Department has crap endzone seats. I expect if prior experience holds the number of WSU...

    Minshew Speaks

    I think this game will be a good one and hopefully well played, likely will be close. If my own finances allowed I would love to go. From what I can tell Cyclone fans seem to be a decent lot, and the pregame festivities should be a blast. The last bowl game I went to was the 2003 Rose Bowl with...

    Minshew Speaks

    Very perceptive and pretty accurate. Given the history of WSU football, any Coug alumnus with a memory that goes beyond the current day has to have some check in their enthusiasm. Too many disappointments in the past. The one I remember most keenly was the 2002 Apple Cup against the hated...

    ALAMO BOWL!!!!

    Just make sure you take off your hat while in the Alamo. Texans are rather particular about that! :)

    Alright WSU fan here

    Well as you all know there is a glamor conference (the SEC) and the "blue blood" football programs (you all know who those are) then there are all the rest of Division 1 which is largely ignored. WSU and ISU very much have that in common. Any losses we have are counted more heavily against us...

    Alright WSU fan here

    I am looking forward to this bowl game, and hope the Cougs can regain their form post Apple Cup disaster. I should think that playing for an unprecedented 11 win on the season would be enough reason for WSU to bring its "A" game. I was struck by some in this thread trying to stoke up some kind...
