Cougars Ink Tight End To NLI

8:30 PM Mon, Jan 05, 2009 |

The Washington State football team announced that tight end Peter Tuitupou (pronounced too-ee-too-po) signed a National Letter of Intent today (much of this information is courtesy of WSU).

He will enroll for classes at Wazzu when the semester gets going on January 12th.

"Peter is a great addition to our program," said head coach Paul Wulff. "He is a big, physical player with good hands and is a very good blocker. He provides a...



Notes And Quotes From UW/WSU

8:43 AM Sun, Jan 04, 2009 |

Here's a quick follow up on yesterday's game between Washington and Washington State. The Dawgs snapped their seven games losing skid to the Cougars with a 68-48 victory.

The most glaring stat that I left out yesterday was WSU's assist-to-turnover ratio. The Cougs registered just four assists compared to 14 turnovers. Yikes!

Nobody explains what happened in a game better than the people who were involved in it, so here are some...



Cougars crushed by Huskies, 68-48

7:00 PM Sat, Jan 03, 2009 |

How disappointing was that?

Washington State (a two point favorite) did not show up Saturday against the rival Washington Huskies. The Cougs were within five points midway through the second half, but UW closed the game on a 22-7 run. That means the Dawgs snapped their seven game skid against WSU with a 68-48 win.

The Cougars need to fix their second half woes. In the last two games combined (LSU and UW), Wazzu has been outscor...

Thursday: Washington Preview

9:28 AM Thu, Jan 01, 2009 |

If you didn't get a chance to read yesterday's preview of the Washington/Washington State game click here.

I don't care what anyone else says, this is the biggest game on both team's schedule. It's even bigger these days because Wazzu wants to extend their winning streak against the Huskies (it's seven games right now)...and the Dawgs want their losing...



Wednesday: Washington Preview

8:22 AM Wed, Dec 31, 2008 |

It's never too early to start previewing the rivalry of all rivalries. Washington State opens Pac-10 play Saturday against the dreaded Washington Huskies.

It doesn't get much better than this!

The Cougars are 8-4 on the season. The Huskies are 9-3. With that said, (I know this is a cliché) records don't matter in games like this. Washington wants revenge after losing seven straight the Cougars, while Wazzu wants to keep their w...



Cougars Collapse Against LSU

5:15 PM Sat, Dec 27, 2008 |

To put it simply...Washington State gave it away.

The Cougars were within one point (even though they led by seven at one point) with 3:17 left in the game, but they let Louisiana State finish on an 11-0 run (that capped a 25-4 run in the final nine minutes). The Tigers wound up winning, 64-52. It's the Cougars fourth loss of the season.

The biggest turning point was Aron Baynes fumbling a rebound (his hands might be made of st...
