WSU Cougars Men's Get Upset

The Washington State Cougars were 

upset Thursday evening by Pacific 

Tigers at home 95-94. It was the 

Cougars first loss at home on the.

The Cougars had to overcome a

ten point deficit at halftime to 

tie at regulation. The Tigers were

able to score eleven to the Cougars

ten in overtime. The Cougars are

now one game behind St. Mary's

and Gonzaga. The Cougars play

the Zags on Saturday night in

Spokane. The Cougs will need

to win to stay pace with the Zags.

The Cougars were led by Ethan 

Price with 28 points. Each Cougs

starter scored in double figures 

and played 30 minutes or more. 

The Pacific Tigers had four players

in double figures however were led 

by Lamar Washington who had

40 points. He hit the winning shot

as well. Lamar averages 12.7 points

a game and a transfer from Texas Tech. We hope this one of the minor

glitches for the Cougars.

Washington Huskies Huskies Lose Big Time

The Washington Huskies first

road game in 2025 in the Big Ten

turned out to be a bust. They

lost to Michigan State 88 -54.

This was the Huskies largest defeat

in men's basketball in 22 years. 

Michigan State went on a 16-0

early on in the game and never recovered. The Huskies had only

13 points in the first half while

the Spartans had 42. Scoring 13 

points in a half will be hard for

any team to win.

Tyler Harris was the only one in

double figures with 14 points for

the Huskies. Zoom Diallo was 

second with eight. Great Osobor

who is usually the teams leading

scorer had only six points and went

0 of eight on the floor. The Huskies

only made  3 of 16 in three point

shots. Even shooting better they

wouldn't have won the game it

would have looked better on the

scoreboard. 

The Huskies take on Michigan

this Sunday. Friday morning give details of the  Cougars game.

Mariners Sign All Eligible Players For Arbitration

Every player on the Mariners roster

who were eligible for arbitration

were signed by the Mariners it

was announced by the team.

This means that the Mariners will

not go to arbitration to decide

whether it is the amount the team

wanted or the player. That is a

good thing for both sides. The

arbitration judge decides one

side or the other. The players all

got raises in the process though

may have been below their value.

The Mariners could have signed

players to a multi year contract

as well. Most likely wouldn't have

been many.

The Mariners have picked up a

couple of relievers off waivers.

There isn't a lot of spots available

so several will compete for maybe

two spots. It would have been nice

to pick up someone to fill at the

top of the relievers however not

at this point. Now we have to see

whether the Mariners will pick up

at least a couple of infielders.

I would say a disappointing off

season so far but they can still

turn it around.

Washington Huskies play at Michigan

State Thursday night. We will be up

on the results. WSU Cougars will be

home against Pacific as well. Gonzaga

beat San Diego Wednesday 93-80. 

Gonzaga and St. Mary's are at the

top of WCC each with 4-0 records.

Cougars win would put them with

the same. 

Seahawks Already Made A Move

Mike Macdonald  had a press conference 

this morning  about how he though the

Seahawks  played in the final game of

the season.

Later on the Seahawks  fired offensive 

coordinator Ryan Grubb. I  wonder Grubb

goes to Alabama or another college or

moves onto another NFL team.

I am sure Huskies  fans are upset that

Grubb was fired by the Seahawks. The

team has gone through several offensive 

coordinators over the last several years.

Maybe Grubb will stay in Seattle and the

Huskies.  That would be a hard one with

Fisch being head coach. 

Be interesting  to  see  any other assistant 

coaching moves well. The Seahawks do

need to improve  the offensive line.

Go Hawks!

Seahawks Beat Rams In Final Game

The Seahawks have trouble playing

the LA Rams however Sunday in

the final game of tge season they

won in a close game 30-25. It

came down to the last play of the

day where the Rams had a chance

to score a touchdown instead the

ball went incomplete.

The Rams will be in the playoffs

though the two teams tied for

the season with 10-7. The Rams 

won all the tiebreakers. Some years

the Seahawks would have made 

the playoffs. Losses to the Packers

and Vikings hurt the Seahawks

chances to make it.

Unlike the Rams who didn't start

Matthew Stafford while Seahawks

did go with Geno Smith. It was good 

game for Geno throwing four touchdowns and no interceptions.

Zach Charbonnet had a good game

rushing 14 times for 59 yards. Kenny

McIntosh has 7 carries for 49 yards.

In the passing game Geno threw to

the tight ends ten times with Noah

Fant and AJ Barner each with five

and both had a touchdown. DK

Methalf and Jake Bobo each had a

touchdown. Now we see what the

offseason looks.

In college basketball the Washington 

Huskies lost a close game to Illinois

81-77. The Huskies are showing they

could be a team to recond with.

DJ Davis had a great game for the

Huskies scoring 31 points including

hitting seven 3s. In all the Huskies

made 10 of 26 behind the arc while

Illinois made 5 out of 26. 

The Huskies go on the road Thursday

evening against Michigan followed

by Michigan on Sunday. Both will

be tough for the Huskies to win

however we hope for success.

Go Dawgs!

WSU Cougars Beat San Francisco

The Washington State Cougars 

continue to be undefeated in

the West Coast Conference by

going to 3-0.

This was the first real test for

the Cougars.  They beat San

Francisco 91-82. The first half 

was close with Cougars being 

up by one point.

All five starters scored in double

figures for the Cougars. They 

played most of the minutes too.

LeJuan Watts led with 24 points 

along with 12 rebounds.

The difference in the game was

foul shooting where the Cougars

made 34 while Dons had 16. 

The Cougars shot 80 percent

at the line. Both teams were tied

for the lead in the conference.

The Cougars next game will be

Thursday night at home against 

Pacific  followed.by Gonzaga on Saturday. The Zags lead Loyola

Marymount right now and should

win. 

Seahawks At Rams

Sunday will be the Seahawks last

game of the season. As we know

they have trouble playing the Rams.

This game at LA is meaningless

in a way for both teams. It will

be important for those who have

incentives that can be accomplished

for bonuses. Also for those who

want to show for next season as well.

In the weeks ahead we will look at

who had good seasons and expect

to be back as well those who may not.

Enjoy the game whether the Seahawks 

win or lose.  Go Hawks!

Huskies Upset Maryland

Though the Huskies men's basketball

team has had a few lapses on the 

season for the most part they are 

playing well under new head coach

Danny Sprinkle. Not an easy task with 

a new group of playerd either.

The Huskies won 75-69. Both teams

shot the same on the court except they

scored a  few more 3s and they did

better at tge free throw line which is

a good sign too.

The Huskies had a bit of a change 

in the starting rotation. Great Osobar

was the only one with success led in

scoring with 20 and rebounds with 12.

Maryland is known for being a physical

team so Osobar able to get in with

them  is a good sign.

Zoom Diallo freshman standout came

off tge bench for the Huskies to be second in scoring with 18 points. He

continues to be a success story. St

this point they are bringing him off

the bench though he is playing a lot

of minutes.

Grad students DJ Davis was the third

member scoring in double figures as

a trio and he had 17 points. He has 

been inconsistent all season however

I am sure he knows conference play

is real important.

The Huskies had 11 players who 

played however eight will get most

of the minutes. This was important 

win as the Huskies lost  their first

two games to UCLA and USC earlier

in December. The Huskies will play

UCLA again on January 24 and USC

in the next to last in conference play.

Oregon is the only team in Big Ten

to play twice this season while

the rest is just once. Other words 

we won't see Maryland again unless

in Bid Ten tournament or the NCAA

tournament.

The Huskies next game will be Sunday

again at home again this time against

Illinois. They are another tough opponent being 2-1 in conference

and 10-3 overall. They beat Oregon

on Thursday 109-77. The Ducks have had a good season so shows how 

good they are and on the road. Go Dawgs!

Now We Welcome 2025

Now that we start the  New Year

we see what our teams will do.

The  Seattle Kraken are the only

one still playing as far as the 

professional  teams. They have 

been going up and down all season 

long.

The Seahawks  season  just had

there season  end so what moves

will they be making to improve  in

2025.

The Mariners  are the next one to start

and what moves will they make in the

next two months before spring  training. 

The Sounders and Storm though don't 

cover often will get ready for another

season  to and wish them the best.

Last but not least what news will we

hear about the Supersonics and whether

Seattle  has a team in 2026 or 27.

On the college front the Huskies  season 

front just ended for the football team in

awild way. The basketball teams just begin

there conference schedule in the Big Ten.

The baseball teams will begin shortly too.

The football team we will see spring practice

in a few months and who they will continue 

to add from the transfer portal. Though they

did lose a good lot of players some of them

were walkons. At this point they have added

something  like 12 players so we what will

happen over the next months.

The Washington  State  Cougars  on the 

otherhand have mass exit on the football 

team after the head coach, offensive coaches

and both quarterbacks left. It will be interesting 

to see who will be the team season.  Jimmy 

Rogers coming from South Dakota  State 

already has brought along his assistant coaches.

We will update what players come to the Coug

over the months.

The men's basketball  team is doing well starting

out the West Coast Conference with two wins.

We will see next  playing San Francisco Dons

and then real soon Gonzaga. It would be great

to see the Zags, the Cougs and Dawg in NCAA 

Tournament.  

We hope for the best for everyone and a wonderful 

seasons. Right now  the basketball  season  be

enjoyable.  Have a happy New Year.
