the Lane Kiffin stuff has gotten kinda crazy. people are treating him like he committed war crimes. he took another job but wanted to finish out the season with his current team, a not crazy ask! plenty of coaches do it. Ole Miss said no, which is also fine.

Cougs make me furious & disappoint me all the time, so when good shit happens, I gotta be better at just enjoying it. with everything they've gone through the last two years, capping off this year with a bowl is pretty fuckin great. I don't care about anything else. let's just focus on us. Go Cougs

sacking the QB and then revving the chainsaw. RIVALRY GAME IN FULL SWING

also I'm happy we don't have to face Hankerson next year. sheesh. what a RB. Oregon State quietly has awesome RBs seemingly every season. always got a Dude™️
November 30, 2025 at 2:57 AM
hey good for Angel Johnson. he clearly didn't have the season everyone anticipated, but just look at how happy all his teammates were. you can tell they love the shit out of that kid

Cougs defense took a minute to figure it out, but have been really good this year. with a decent offense, they win 2-3 more games. my worry with a defense first HC is that the offense will always be conservative. Jimmy Rogers feels like the guy, but I'm not sure Danny Freund is the guy at OC.

it sucks that my first thought isn't "can't wait to see PLAYER next year and how he develops" but rather "shoot he's probably gone"
November 30, 2025 at 12:54 AM
can't wait to watch literally anyone else play QB next year for the Cougs

Shephard was on a short list of candidates who I wanted to take over after Dickert left, so I like this hire by the Beavs. young, good recruiter, knows the PNW a little bit. the only pause I'd have is you're going from unproven coordinator to unproven coordinator. Bray was a train wreck
Oregon State has hired Alabama co-offensive coordinator JaMarcus Shephard as the school’s next football coach.

Column coming.

Jim Mora can get fucked. good hire by Colorado State I guess. can't wait to beat them again and have Mora whine about something

there's a non zero chance that 6 of the teams WSU played in 2025 win their conference.

San Diego State 9-2, 1st in Mountain West
North Texas 10-1, 1st in American
Ole Miss 10-1, 3rd in SEC
Virginia 9-2, 1st in ACC
Toledo 7-4, 2nd in MAC
James Madison 10-1, 1st in Sun Belt

Seahawks should have won by like 3 TDs. I know there's a bunch of injuries and you're on the road yada yada yada. Tennessee is the worst team in the NFL! there's absolutely no way it should have been that close

cannot recommend the John Candy documentary enough. excellent. so sad. it's on Amazon. "I Like Me".

refusing to move on from Zevi is a pretty big black mark on Jimmy Rogers first year in Pullman. you didn't start him from the jump because you saw this is what he was. Potter struggled and you caved. there's still a bowl game on the line. figure it out
November 22, 2025 at 6:53 PM
I am a big fan of both of these teams color schemes. Vancouver using like a cobalt blue and copper as an accent? chef's kiss. it's very very good. but I also like how the Torrent's feels like a Seattle team. fits right in

I've seen a lot of Chronically Online opinions, but one I think about a lot:

someone got mad at spoilers for Game of Thrones because they thought it was classist to discuss the show as it was happening. "you're not giving people who can't afford HBO a chance to see it spoiler free".

unreal

today I learned James Franklin is a Coug?

coached TEs under Mike Price in 1998, got his Masters in educational leadership at Wazzu. sure!

I get why they did it, but revealing the BIG THING THAT HAPPENS in the trailer for Project Hail Mary is a bit of a bummer. I'm not really sure how they'd do a trailer without it, but it's still a bummer.

anyway, read the book, listen to the audiobook. both are incredible. (the movie looks good too)

Per Kraken PR:

SK injury update: Joey Daccord has been activated from injured reserve.

Additionally, Matt Murray is expected to be out approximately six weeks with a lower body injury.

Daccord was also first off the ice at Kraken morning skate ahead of tonight's game against Detroit.

that's not on Myers. what the hell was the offense doing at the end? took so much time. should have spiked it at least once. saved 10+ seconds.

just an all around dumpster fire on offense, most of it is Darnold's fault. K9 has that Golden Tate negative IQ in terms of knowing where the 1st down is
November 17, 2025 at 12:13 AM
Rams owns Darnold. this is embarrassing.
November 16, 2025 at 11:17 PM
JSN wasn't open even if he's not being hit as he threw it. that's two horrible INTs deep in Rams territory. Sam can't get out of his own way
