SITUATION REPORT
Week 1 of the Pac-12's rebirth, and WSU is staring down the Huskies on opening day. The band's not even going to Seattle—that's not a sign of confidence. This is the kind of game where moral victories become the only victories Pullman gets to celebrate.

“Similarly this was the first draft I remember when no Cougs were drafted. Several former Cougs who transferred got drafted. It’s f**king sad! I’m still as diehard loyal to my Alma mater as I was when we were winning the PAC 10. Go Cougs!”

“I'm usually the "Cougs by 50" guy, but these past few years have made me a bit timid. We have all the pieces to be special, but we still have a 1st time head coach, first year OC ( I know he was co-oc last year). We also have one of the toughest non-con schedules in the nation. A lot of great pieces came in, but we also lost some pieces as well. I think we will be in the conference title hunt, but im sure the new pac teams will be amped this season, so we will get everyones best shot.”
