Podcast Vs. Everyone - For Washington State Cougars fans

Three straight losses by WSU have shaken our faith a little bit in what the football team is going to be able to achieve this season. In theory, there are still plenty of winnable games on the schedule. Can the Cougs pull it together? Plus, what went wrong with soccer this year? And it's impressive what volleyball has done. Then we finish with a few reader questions. Music by Randy England. You ca...

After we debrief WSU's loss to USC, we take a look back at the first half of the season and hand out some grades.

Plus, volleyball had a big weekend, and soccer ... did not. Music by Randy England. You can find more of his work on Instagram. Subscribe...

The Cougs moved to 3-0 overall, but that apparently is not enough to impress the voters of the Associated Press, who left the Cougars out of their Top 25. (Washington, of course, is ranked after winning all three of their games at home.) We are annoyed. But also excited for the upcoming matchup with Oregon! Also, soccer and volleyball head into conference play. Music by Randy England. You can find...

(Note: An earlier published version of this episode contained the wrong recording. Sorry about that! This is the correct one.)

Two weeks in a row! Let's start by assessing WSU's offensive line, which had some early injuries but seems to have gotten some good news. Then, we wonder: Is the fact that ESPN has reportedly dropped out of the Big Ten rights negotiations a good sign for the Pac-10/12? Music by Randy England. You can find more of his work on Instagram.

It's been a while, so there is definitely some catching up to do! After a quick recap of the Crimson and Gray game, we catch up with what's been going on with the men's basketball roster before turning our attention to baseball, which came oh-so-close to becoming the scariest team in the Pac-12 tournament. And we make sure to highlight a couple of lesser-known Cougs who have come up with big, big...

WSU men's basketball has lost a bunch of players since the end of the season, including Noah Williams and Efe Abogidi, which means we need to talk through the impact of their departures and what the Cougs need to do to reshape the roster ahead of what should be a season with big expectations. Plus, the Crimson and Gray game is on tap for this Saturday; here's what we'll be looking for. Music by Ra...

The WSU men more or less cruised through the first three rounds of the NIT with wins over Santa Clara, SMU, and BYU -- and now they're off to New York City for the semifinals, where they'll face Texas A&M at Madison Square Garden.

These last couple of weeks have been real rough for the men's basketball team at WSU, but a lot of it will be forgotten if the next week goes real well. The Cougs take on the Washington Huskies twice (and Oregon State once), and if they can take it to their rivals, that will go a long way with fans. The big story of the week, however, was the women, who picked up a huge win over another bubble tea...

The WSU Cougars have now lost three straight in men's basketball, including a baffling result against the Arizona State Sun Devils over the weekend. That was sandwiched in between losses to Arizona and Oregon. What went wrong? And can the Cougs get back in the win column? The road doesn't get any easier with a trip to UCLA and USC on deck. The women, however, won a couple of close ones! Music by R...

Jake Dickert and his staff have hit the recruiting trail for high schoolers, and the Cougs landed a quartet of players who visited last weekend, including a quarterback.

Then, we preview the weekend slate of games for men's and women's basketball before getting to your questions! Mu...

The Cougars lost Apple Cup-winning quarterback Jayden de Laura, but they have replaced him with one of the most highly touted transfers on the market: Cameron Ward. It's entirely possible that WSU has actually upgraded at quarterback. Plus: Klay Thompson's big return for the Golden State Warriors, men's basketball's split at the mountain schools, and women's basketball's bummer of a loss to Arizon...
