Why Washington State? Well that's a stupid question.
Nevada pulled away from Washington State, dominating the second half and winning 78–64. A sparse Beasley Coliseum crowd watched the Cougs peter out after halftime, falling to 3–7 on the year. Coming off a heartbreaking 64–60 loss to the Bradley Braves in Illinois, Washington State looked to continue turning the corner on defense and finish […]

To say Jimmy Rogers’ departure was shocking would be an understatement. Learning that his dream job was at Iowa State? There really aren’t any words for that. The timing could not be worse for Washington State, which is currently operating without an athletic director. And while last night brought plenty of doom and gloom among […]

If there’s one takeaway from Jimmy Rogers’ departure for Iowa State, it’s this: Don’t believe anything a new coach says at their introductory press conference. Sure, it’s not exactly a fair question when a reporter asks a new coach if they plan on sticking around. What else is a coach going to say? But the […]

Washington State head football coach Jimmy Rogers is leaving the program to take the job at Iowa State after one season in Pullman. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was first to announce the hire; Iowa State later confirmed it in a press release. The Iowa State job officially became vacant this morning when it was announced that […]

The Washington State Cougars fell short of an impressive road win, losing to the Bradley Braves 64-60. In a super close contest that never saw either team lead by more than nine points, Bradley (5-4) was able to squeak out a win at home in the closing minute with a go-ahead bucket with 19 seconds […]

The Washington State Cougars finished the 2025 regular season by defeating the Oregon State Beavers 32-8, securing bowl eligibility. It’s only fitting that on the night he became the third coach in WSU (6-6) history to lead the Cougars to a bowl game in his first full season, it was his defense that led the […]

Sheesh, where did the time go? Seems like only yesterday we where here previewing the season opener against Idaho. Now, we’ve reached the season finale against Oregon State—Game 2, if you will. Back on Nov. 1, these two teams met in Corvallis and played a miserable 10-7 affair in which the home team won, which […]

Just one day after setting an impressive career high of 26 points in the win over Chaminade, Washington State freshman Ace Glass raised the bar even higher with a masterful 40-point performance. However, it was still not enough to send his team to the Maui Invitational championship game, as Washington State fell to the Arizona […]

Greetings. In case you missed it, totally excusable since the game wasn’t on actual television, your Washington State Cougars football team once again pissed away a second half lead on Saturday, missing another opportunity to garner a signature win amid its season in the wilderness. We were admittedly frustrated at the result, but hey, it’s […]

It looked like it was going to be a nightmare for Washington State at halftime of their Maui Invitational debut, as they trailed the host Chaminade Silverswords 52–41. Chaminade, for those who don’t know, is the Division II program in Hawaii that hosts the Maui Invitational each year—not exactly the opponent you want to spot […]

Another cross-country trip and chance to upset a ranked team on the road ends in the same old story for the Washington State Cougars. After leading the AP Poll’s No. 21 James Madison Dukes 17-10 at halftime, the Cougars were outscored 14-3 in the second half for a 24-20 final. Yet again, WSU (5-6) looked […]

I hope WSU’s football program has some sort of mileage plan, because they’re sure putting in the miles this season. The Cougs have traveled to the state of Virginia for the second time this season, and to the Central or Eastern Time Zone for the fourth time. A win today clinches bowl eligibility with one […]

Good day! What a difference a week (ok, two) can make, yes? After WSU spent the night in Corvallis throwing up all over itself, it came back home and put together a largely dominant win over a Louisiana Tech team that is not only better than OSU, but was also looking for its sixth win […]

Take a trip down memory lane with me, if you will. As recently as 2024, WSU was 8-1, ranked in the Top 25 and facing a closing stretch of three inferior opponents. Then everything fell apart, as WSU suffered an inexplicable loss to New Mexico, an inexcusable loss to Oregon State, and an unforgivable loss […]
