The uncertainty, the insecurity, the improbability -- it all had Jacobson an anxious mess. After a pain-staking night of thinking, his finally phone rang. The Washington Redskins wanted him, and he wanted the Washington Redskins. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1287982.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1287982.html Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:53:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate IF NFLDRAFTSCOUT.COM and Scout.com are right, Washington State’s Jeff Tuel will be taken Saturday in the seventh round of the NFL draft. Offensive lineman Wade Jacobson, meanwhile, doesn’t appear on the depth charts of many draft forecasters, but he tells Cougfan.com he’s hearing encouraging words from several NFL teams. He also has a legend in his corner. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286166.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286166.html Tue, 23 Apr 2013 17:50:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – It’s a small group of graduating seniors for Washington State in 2013 and the question looms: Are there NFL-caliber prospects among them? If WSU’s NFL Pro Day proved anything Thursday, it’s that some Cougs will, at the least, be wild cards come draft day next month. Indeed, from this chair, the event was a raging success. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1272544.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1272544.html Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:40:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate COMING SO quickly on the heels of Klay Thompson, who came so quickly on the heels of Kyle Weaver and Derrick Low, it’s not impossible to overlook Brock Motum. Not to the degree even casual observers would hesitate in calling him a great player. But to the degree the body of his work is fully appreciated for what it truly is. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1252813.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1252813.html Sat, 29 Dec 2012 16:06:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate A QUICK PERUSAL of the NFL Draft gurus and internet sites name four Cougars who hold the most end-of-December cache. We asked our resident NFL expert to handicap their draft order and more… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1252687.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1252687.html Fri, 28 Dec 2012 22:06:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate A VISITING D-LINEMAN this past weekend to Washington State was already close with a number of Cougars before the trip. So how did the trip go and did the Cougs move up on his leaders list? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1244337.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1244337.html Wed, 28 Nov 2012 01:47:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE – Mike Leach said BUCK linebacker Travis Long is the only Cougar he expects to be selected in the 2013 NFL draft. But would he play linebacker or defensive end in the pros? Leach also touched on Jeff Tuel, recruiting, Marquess Wilson and more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1244277.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1244277.html Tue, 27 Nov 2012 22:16:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate A breathtaking Cougar win was the talk of the Palouse on Friday night, but it didn’t stop there. Washington State’s comeback win captivated football fans across the country – and at one point had “Apple Cup” and “Go Cougs” trending worldwide on Twitter. Beyond that, fans and pundits alike agreed the Huskies didn’t lose this game; the Cougars snatched it away. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1243078.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1243078.html Sat, 24 Nov 2012 12:31:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate FOR 13 WASHINGTON State seniors, today's Apple Cup is more than a rivalry game. It's their final game in crimson. Most names are familiar, some not. One ranks among the great Cougar defenders of the last dozen years. And all had a hand in pouring the foundation for a better future in WSU football. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1242864.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1242864.html Fri, 23 Nov 2012 18:03:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate EVEN IF THE APPARENT knee injury Travis Long suffered during the ASU game ends up shelving him for Friday's Apple Cup, there's no getting around the fact his place among the all-time Cougar greats is secure. Indeed, Long is already in select company on WSU's career lists for sacks and tackles-for-loss. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1242041.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1242041.html Tue, 20 Nov 2012 17:58:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The Cougars were short a few good men on Monday. Still, they sired fire and energy on the practice field all evening and are clearly looking to instill the “next man up” philosophy. Coaches concur that the team has grown this season – and has a lot to look forward to in 2013. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1241932.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1241932.html Tue, 20 Nov 2012 06:12:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- What exactly transpired during halftime during the 49-6 loss Nov. 3 loss at Utah has become a popular topic among Washington State fans since former wide receiver Marquess Wilson alleged physical abuse occurred in the locker room. Offensive lineman Elliott Bosch and two others discussed that, Wilson’s departure and the upcoming game at Arizona State during their Monday teleconference. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1239382.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1239382.html Tue, 13 Nov 2012 06:37:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The absence of All-American wideout Marquess Wilson is already taking a toll on some players and coaches. And while head coach Mike Leach didn’t have much to say on the matter, wide receivers coach Dennis Simmons took a more emotional approach. Oh, and Travis Long is the Cougs’ new punter – at least for today. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1237288.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1237288.html Wed, 07 Nov 2012 03:27:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE -- Eric Russell, Washington State’s first-year assistant head football coach and special teams guru, was the featured speaker at Monday’s Cougar Club luncheon in Spokane and did his best to confine his talk to the Cougs’ upcoming game with UCLA in Pullman. But the 800-pound gorilla in the room, WSU's pratfall at Utah, kept rearing its head no matter how hard anyone tried to ignore it. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236897.html 2047 STEVE CHRISTILAW http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236897.html Tue, 06 Nov 2012 00:02:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- In the wake of an explosive 24 hours at Washington State, players were reluctant to speak Monday on the turmoil from within the program. While uncertainty looms, and answers are few and far between, one thing rings true, there remains football to be played. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236872.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236872.html Mon, 05 Nov 2012 22:24:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate ON THIS SATURDAY, it seemed that the real show started after the game ended. Mike Leach’s postgame remarks were explosive, accusatory and, in their own right, just as big of a disaster as his team’s 49-6 loss at Utah. The Utes outgained the Cougars 453 to 255 in total yards as the hapless crew from the Palouse gave up six sacks and tallied negative-4 rushing yards. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236391.html 2047 JENNIFER CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236391.html Sun, 04 Nov 2012 10:17:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate ABOUT THE ONLY intriguing development from Washington State’s standpoint was waiting for coach Mike Leach’s postgame interview. Indeed, the Cougars appeared to have an “empty-corpse quality” to them, to use Leach’s words, during Saturday’s 49-6 loss at Utah that felt eerily similar to the shutout loss two years ago on the road against a mediocre Arizona State squad. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236291.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1236291.html Sun, 04 Nov 2012 00:28:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE'S struggles this football season can be attributed to a variety of factors, but a look at the roster suggests a glaring one: Lack of production from the 2009 recruiting class. That group's shortcomings are especially notable, because as third- and fourth-year seniors they should be serving as the backbone of this year's team. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235419.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235419.html Thu, 01 Nov 2012 16:49:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- For seniors Jeff Tuel and Travis Long, the silver linings no longer carry any warrant. The urgency to win, and win now, is always at the back of their minds. And it’s not just the upperclassmen. Freshman Darryl Monroe feels the pressure to produce and put some W’s on the board. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235046.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235046.html Tue, 30 Oct 2012 18:33:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE -- Coming off what was widely considered Washington State's best effort of the season at Stanford, linebackers coach Jeff Choate hinted to the Spokane Cougar Club luncheon on Monday that the Cougs may be turning the corner. And that theory will be tested this week at Utah, who may try much of the same things Stanford did on offense -- but with a twist. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1234791.html 2047 STEVE CHRISTILAW http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1234791.html Mon, 29 Oct 2012 22:16:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
