Mon Dieu! Cette dame tombe plus vite que Le Challenger. Ses rêves sont plus morts que Jacque Costeau. C’est la vie.

Well… you want to talk about a blowout, we got one.  The Ducks destroyed the Cougs in Autzen last week.  Quote of the week this week summarizing this debacle is easily from the Tacoma News Tribune. Few visiting teams have been able to quiet the raucous, sellout crowds that routinely pack Autzen Stadium, but the Washington State...

Fig Jam Was someone looking for that Husky Arrogance that WSU fans are always complaining about?  Found it!  This week, as USC prepares to take on Washington State in the Coliseum, USC head Coach Peter Carroll (why doesn’t anyone ever call him Peter?)  may need to spend a little extra time working with his scout teams. ...

Big week for the Cougs.  A win!  Now, they needed 2 TAINT’s, a 3rd pick in overtime and a 4th down, 4th quarter PI call to do it.   Oh, and the possession margin was 40 min – 20 min in favor of SMU and they gave up 500 yards to 276 gained.  Oh, and they still managed to turn...

The ship is sinking in Pullman after a weak loss at “home” (Qwest Field) to Hawaii.  To be fair, like most people who drove over from Eastern Washington these Cougs weren’t exactly well-traveled.  Bad sign number one: 28 of the 60 players who dressed for WSU had never been on a road trip before.   I hope they...

This is our 21st Podcast, and for the first time it is our pleasure to talk about a Husky win. Hopefully that ratio comes down a little bit in the future. USC had just enough to take down the Buckeyes in the Horseshoe. UCLA went into Knoxville and shocked the Vols....

Fig Jam As we approach yet another Pac 10 football season there is much commentary on what each team has to look forward to in the coming season.  This is the time of the year for unbridled optimism.  To provide a little perspective in contrast to everyone’s rose bowl colored glasses, here is why your...

Echelon So I was listening to ESPNSeattle (It’s not Furness!) on my way to work Thursday afternoon, taking in the carnage after Brandon Morrow blew his second save in 17 hours. An older gentleman called in to share his take on the Bombs. “This team…we’re still coming out of the Bavasi era. And he...

Constable Echelon Thank you Mariners for getting this season’s first Rip Your Balls Off Special ™ out of the way early. There will be no “I can’t believe I fell for these assholes” revelations this summer. Because that was it Tuesday night, when the Mariners squandered a two run, two out, two strike,...
