Washington State Cougars Season Begins Saturday

The Washington  State  Cougars start play 

on Saturday at home against  Portland 

State. 

The  Cougars season begins before the

Washington Huskies  does. They begin  

at noon. This will  be an interesting 

season  since the Cougars and Oregon 

State Beavers  don't  have a conference 

anymore and they are left as the Pac-2.

The Portland  State Vikings play in

the Big Sky Conference the same one

as the Huskies opponent Weber State 

is in. In fact the following  week the

Vikings and Weber  State play each 

other in Ogden Utah.

The Cougars will play mostly  against 

the Moutain West conference  teams

this year and possibly  the following 

year. The Cougars and Beavers could 

merge into a new Pacific Conference 

or one by another name or into the

Mountain  West. They could end up

in another conference  as well.  In 

next several years  the Power 5 

Conferences  could look a lot different. 

We could see  two power Conferences

of the east and west. All will be driven

by the television  networks like ESPN 

and Fox. Stay tuned for sure.Go Cougs!
