Gonzaga Wins Sunday Night

For the second game in a row

after being blown by Michigan 

the Zags won big themselves 

once again. It was somewhat

close for a little while at the 

start of the game with North

Florida hitting a few 3 point shots

however at the eight minute mark

left in the first half the Zags went 

on a 20-0 run before North Florida 

hit a three. It was clear sailing 

from there on.

Final Gonzaga 109 North Florida 58

The Zags were without their best 

player in Graham Ike who missed 

the game because of his left ankle

Since they were not playing a team

that give them a game they rested

him for precautions. Braden Huff 

led the Zags with 24 points and

the only starter who played over

20 minutes. 

The Zags dominated in rebounding 

and points inside. The difference 

in the game.  The Michigan where 

they were blown out  the Zags have

trouble with teams with good big

men however can dominate those

who do not. 

Gonzaga's next game will be at

the Climate Pledge Arena in Seattle 

against the UCLA Bruins this coming

Saturday night. This will be another

good test for the Zags. Go team. 

Seahawks Win Again Plus College Bowl Games

The Seattle Seahawks started off 

slow kicking two field goals in 

the first half. Fortunately so did the 

Atlanta Falcons.

The Seahawks dominated the second 

half so the Seahawks won 37-9. Now 

the Seahawks are 10-3. Still have

to sed how the Rams do.since losing 

to them the Seahawks have won

three straight.

The Seahawks started out with

Rashid Shaheed running the opening

kickoff for one hundred yards to make

it 13-6. About eight minutes later on

the clock Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 

a 28 yard touchdown pass. With 2:39

remaining in the third Jason Myers 

kicked his third field goal of the game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter 

the Falcons decided to kick another

field goal with it being 4th and two 

yards to go. Their fans booed the

decision. Can't blame them. It didn't 

take the Seahawks long to get another

touchdown. Shaheed caught a 29

yard pass followed by a 11 yard catch

by Cooper Kupp for a touchdown. The

Falcons fans had to really mad then.

The Falcons did give up an interception 

since they had to throw to get back into

the game.  Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his

second touchdown and the last scoring

of the game.

The Seahawks play the Colts at home

next Sunday. With a win they could

clinch a spot in the playoffs. The Rams

are currently beating the Cardinals at

the end of the first half. The 49ers have

a bye this week. Go Hawks!

Next Saturday the Washington Huskies

will play Boise State in the LA Bowl. It

should be an exciting game.  Go Dawgs 

The Washington State Cougars will play

Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato

Bowl on Monday December 22. Go Cougs

Washington Huskies Men's Comeback Against USC

The Washington Huskies showed what they

are made of and could be a good team

in the Big Ten. 

The Huskies were down by 18 points 

at halftime and made their move in

second half and finally taking over

and won 84-76 at the USC Trojans

who are a good team too.

Hanes Steinbach led the Huskies

with 24 points and 16 rebounds.

This was his his second game back

after missing a few games. Steinbach 

is showing to be one of the top rebounders 

in the Big Ten if not the whole country.

He is always at the right spot. 

Desmond Claude who missed the

Early part of the season was second

leading scorer with 22 points. Claude

who played for USC last season along

with Steinbach were the two main

players who got the Huskies back into

the game and over the hump. Both

made some key 3 pointers. The Trojans 

kept it close down the stretch with a

fre of their own 3 pointers but couldn't 

reestablish the lead. 

The Huskies went with four guards 

much of the second half along with

Steinbach in the middle. With this

talented group we could see more 

of them in the game. Yates added 

16 points. Besides those three we

could see Zoom Diallo and Quimari 

Peterson in the game at the same

time. Peterson who has started a

few games has primarily come off

the bench. 

The Huskies don't play again until

next Saturday. We hope more healthy 

players to face Southern Utah at

home. Go Dawgs!

Mariners Trade Harry Ford To the Nationals

The Winter Meetings starts on Monday

however the Seattle Mariners decided 

go trade one of their top prospects 

to the Washington Nationals for

left handed reliever Jose Ferrer. 

Ferrer is mentioned as a middle reliever

however he did have 11 saves despite 

4.48 era. This could give the Mariners 

another lefty late in the game besides 

Gabe Speier. 

The question now is who will be the

backup catcher. Will they bring back

free agent Mitch Garver or go after 

someone else. Stay tuned for what

may come up. Go M's.

Gonzaga Rebound Over Kentucky

After being blown out by Michigan

on the road by 40 points the question 

would be how they would respond.

Well they beat Kentucky on the road

to by winning 94-59

Keys was the Zags out shot Kentucky 

Wildcats from the field. The Zags made 

20 more shots though only took three

more. Kentucky took almost twice

as many three point shots and made

two less than the Zags. The Zags shot

over fifty percent from the field while

the Wildcats shot at 26.7 percent.

The Zags made about half their points

inside while Wildcats made 18 which

the majority of the difference in the

score. 

Graham Ike led the Zags with 28 points

after having one against Michigan. 

He had ten rebounds as well. Braden 

Huff had 20 points. 

Gonzaga will play Sunday at home

against North Florida. The game

after that will be home against UCLA.

Go Zags!

Preview Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons

The Seattle Seahawks are favored over

the Atlanta Falcons although playing on

the road where they are 4-2 on the season.

The Seahawks are tied with the Rams  

with 8-3 record. They play each other

on Thursday night in Seattle on December

18. This may put the winner as division champions. Including this game the 

Seahawks have six games remaining 

and unless they totally fall apart they

will be in the playoffs whether beating the

Rams or not. 

The Seahawks have a record of 13-7

over the Falcons including beating 

them in Atlanta last year. Kirk Cousins

will be starting at quarterback after

former Husky quarterback Michael 

Penix Jr. was hurt and out for the season.

The Falcons will be without #1 wide

receiver Drake London and defensive 

lineman  Drandon Dorlus. This will be

an impact on the Falcons. Much like

the Minnesota Vikings last week the

defense is the strength of the Falcons.

The Falcons will likely rely on their

running game. Number one running

back is Bijan Robinson who has 995

yards at this point averaging 5.1 yards

per carry. It will be important that the

Seahawks stop him. Ken Walker lll 

has over 700 yards and 4 touchdowns

while Zach Charbonnet has over 400

yards and eight touchdowns.  Tyler

Allgeier the Falcons back up running

back has 344 yards and eight touchdowns 

so much like Charbonnet of the Seahawks.

This game should come down how

well both teams defense plays and

possibly special teams. Go Hawks!

WSU Loses Football Coach

Jimmy Rogers after only one season 

at Washington State is moving onto

Iowa State where their head coach

Matt Campbell left for Pen State.

Sunday the Cougars will find out 

whst bowl game they will play in.

The interim coach will be defensive 

coordinator Jessie Bobbit who likely

move on after the game and wouldn't 

be a surprise if he ends up at Iowa

State. 

On Thursday backup quarterback Jaxon

Potter announced he was going into

the transfer portal. Zevi Eckhaus will

likely start in his final season in college

for the Cougars. Iowa State has depth 

at quarterback unless one decides to

enter the transfer portal and go to

Penn State. We will learn coming up 

who else might transfer from WSU. 

The Cougars fired their athletic director

recently and has someone who is interim.

Talk is former Oregon State and Michigan

State coach Jonathan Smith who was just

fired could end up with the Cougars. We

have to figure he is a good candidate

for the Cougars job.

Wednesday the Cougars signed 28 

prospects. Now we have to see how

many end up staying or entering the

transfer portal which is a sad thing

all around. Undergraduates do have

right to go elsewhere however in

my opinion they should be able to

transfer to another team in the

same conference for a year. That

wouldn't be for those who have

graduated and still have eligibility. 

We will have to see how many players 

will decide to play in the bowl game.

The Cougars have eight players on

offense that the bowl game will be

their last college game. Most of the

second team are undergraduates so

we could see some of them enter

the transfer portal. They have ten 

defensive players who will be the

last one coming up for them. We

hope some player will decide to

stay at least until after the bowl

game.  Since most of the Cougars

players have been there star when

recruited some may not fit into

Iowa State. Of course this can come

to how many transfer out though

Jimmy Rogers will look elsewhere 

to see who is in the transfer portal.

I am sure will speak to some of the

players on the team too.

We wish him the best at Iowa State.

Go Cougs!
