Podcast Vs. Everyone - For Washington State Cougars fans

The Cougars paid off their close losses to Mississippi and Virginia with a nice, comfortable win over Toledo at home. The fantastic defense and serviceable offense have us feeling pretty great about what the rese of the season will hold, including when the Cougs travel to Corvallis on Saturday to take on Oregon State.

Following two weeks of abject embarrassment, the WSU Cougars redeemed themselves to a pretty good degree with a convincing win over the Colorado State Rams. The defense was excellent, giving up just three points; the offense, while inconsistent, did more than enough in the first half for the team to cruise to victory. It was a good feeling!

The Washington State Cougars rebounded from a shaky win over Idaho in the opener to leave no doubt in a win over San Diego State to improve to 2-0 on the season, as the defense led the way again. With Jeff out tending to family matters, Emma Weightman ably steps in to cohost with Craig! Plus: Beer sales are coming to the stadium, a quick preview of North Texas, what we’re drinking, soccer, volleyball, and cross country.

The WCC tournaments are this weekend, and they mean different things for WSU's men's and women's basketball teams. For the men, it's one last chance to put the bad taste of that no good, awful five-week stretch that tanked all the vibes around a good start. They played pretty decently in their final two games of the regular season, securing the WCC's No. 6 seed. And with the way the tournament is set up, they could win a game -- or two. For the women, it's entirely different: They have a legitimate shot to win the whole thing. That would mean winning another showdown with Portland, but there are reasons to think that could break the Cougs' way in a third matchup.

Jamey gives a first-hand account of what he saw and how things look a little different under Jimmy Rogers than they did under the previous coach. Notes Podcast music by Randy England.

WSU has had a rough go of it lately in men's basketball, having dropped six of seven. But now ... big, bad, Gonzaga makes its return to Beasley Coliseum on Wednesday. With special co-host Jamey Vinnick of Cougfan.com, we start off by looking at just how it is that this season went off the rails, then break down what it will take to beat the Zags. It might not be as complicated as people assume. Other topics: Beer, football recruiting (can WSU succeed with all these South Dakota State kids?), and women's basketball (the Cougs are in great position for a run in the WCC tournament). Got all that? Let's break it down. Notes Podcast music by Randy England. You can find more of his work on Instagram.

The Washington State Cougars easily handled Utah State on Saturday in what was a bit of a snoozer -- which is weird when you’re talking about a game that was clearly never in doubt. But the team’s conservatism seems to be by design, as the Cougs picked up their eighth win in nine games. New Mexico awaits this weekend. The Lobos are a little scary, but WSU still is clearly the better team.

The Cougars turned in a comfortable win over the Rainbow Warriors on Saturday for homecoming, improving to 6-1. John Mateer looked fantastic as the offense as a whole took a step forward, and the defense generated a bunch of turnovers. All in all, it was a welcome, largely stress-free experience against a team that they should do that to. Other topics: Previewing San Diego State, beer (and why you should always check the date on the bottom of the can), a look at WSU's football schedule for next year (which includes TWO games against Oregon State), and a look in on volleyball and soccer.
