The ban on Washington State football players from using Twitter was lifted Thursday and a number of players have leapt at the new-found freedom. Darryl Monroe and Gabe Marks, for instance, quickly requested shout outs from @COUGFANcom, while Teondray Caldwell, Dominique Williams, Tracy Clark and Theron West seemingly started shouting out to just about everybody. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1292500.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1292500.html Fri, 17 May 2013 22:30:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE CHATTER THIS spring about implementing some Pistol formations into the Wazzu Air Raid is not new – Jim Mastro and Mike Leach have talked for years about adding some of the Pistol formations into the Air Raid. Last season saw some experimentation in that regard, but it was limited. Will 2013 be different and if so, what might fans notice the most? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1290561.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1290561.html Thu, 09 May 2013 22:09:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The 15 spring practices at Washington State provided critical insight as to how the fall will shake out. Here are four things that stood out most for the Cougars this spring, and what we've learned... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1287929.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1287929.html Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:13:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Spring Ball at Washington State concluded Tuesday on a very high note for Connor Halliday and the offense. Head man Mike Leach was highly pleased with his team’s offensive production on the day and named several players who were pleasant surprises this spring -- two of whom reside in the defensive secondary and had picks on the day. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286328.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286328.html Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:14:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE – The wind blowing through Joe Albi Stadium -- at one point gusting so hard it blew off a piece of a first down marker -- didn’t hurt Mike Leach’s Air Raid Offense. Not with wide receivers Kristoff Williams and Gabe Marks leading their respective squads in receptions. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285460.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285460.html Sun, 21 Apr 2013 03:33:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE -- Connor Halliday fired 58 passes and Austin Apodaca 45, but it was Jesse Brown, with just six attempts, who left the Albi Stadium crowd smiling Saturday as the Gray beat the Crimson 22-21 in dramatic fashion. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285411.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285411.html Sun, 21 Apr 2013 00:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Mike Leach names the two positions that have seen the most competition this spring and also gets a video bomb from Gabe Marks. Which does Teondray Caldwell prefer – running the ball or catching passes out of the backfield. Plus, Marks talks about his role in 2013 and who on the Cougar defense he hates to see coming his way. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284271.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284271.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:23:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPRING BALL at Washington State still has four more sessions including Saturday's Crimson & Gray game -- but some Cougs have already cemented their names on our List of 5 who have made some very big strides this spring. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284168.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284168.html Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:55:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE – Mike Leach had plenty to say. So did Mike Price. Leach offered up a number of spring ball nuggets including naming some of the top performers – a list that included two walk ons. He was also effusive in his praise on the Football Operations Facility under construction, saying it will be second to none in the Pac-12. Meanwhile, Price was also on hand to help kick off Spokane Week 2013. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283908.html 2047 STEVE CHRISTILAW http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283908.html Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:54:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THERE ARE THINGS you can usually count on when it comes to spring football. The defense will be ahead of the offense when it comes to the early going – the offense takes longer to get their timing down. Of course, you end up throwing out a lot of the bromides when it comes to a Mike Leach team. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280478.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280478.html Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:57:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN - It seems hard to believe but one-third of spring ball at Washington State is already in the books. The CF.C lens has been working overtime to chronicle the spring doings out on the Palouse - here are another 15 shots of the crimson gridiron action. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1279579.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1279579.html Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:16:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Spring drills are underway out on the Palouse and Washington State is moving at full speed under Mike Leach. From the CF.C lens, here are 22 more exclusive shots of the Cougars in action. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278228.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278228.html Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:40:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The Cougs were out in full force Tuesday at practice, cracking shoulder pads for the first time this spring. Regardless of which quarterback was taking snaps, the offense worked well and won the day. Coaches also made some rotations with the 1’s and 2’s, heating up some of the biggest position battles for onlookers. That, the hits of the day and more… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278281.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278281.html Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:12:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – It will be seemingly endless, the list of wide receiver names on the WSU roster in 2013. Unofficially there are 19 – count ‘em, 19 -- wide receivers expected to be on board by the time the games count for real. That means competition, and a whole lot of it, when the Cougs kick off spring drills on Thursday. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1275001.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1275001.html Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:33:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN–Mike Leach believes in an eight-man system at wide receiver. The top four start but four more should be ready to step in every third play or so. According to Leach, it helps the system move at its fullest capacity, rotating fresh legs throughout the course of the game. Because of that, a bevy of targets end up getting some in-game run -- a favorable circumstance for the Cougs this spring. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1274942.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1274942.html Fri, 15 Mar 2013 20:02:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE HAS a key question to answer in spring ball on special teams. And chances are if you had three guesses, you might not get it... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270202.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270202.html Wed, 27 Feb 2013 20:16:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SEATTLE -- Dennis Simmons makes no attempts to contain his enthusiasm for the receivers in Washington State's 2013 version of the Air Raid. "Our level of play at the end of the season was really good," he told CF.C at WSU's football dinner in Seattle last Friday. "We just need to continue where we left off." And come August, when Vince Mayle arrives, the progress might just move into overdrive. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269766.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269766.html Wed, 27 Feb 2013 16:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate GOING BACK almost to the beginning, the columnists at Cougfan.com have taken issue with the star system that surrounds football recruiting. We’ve softened a bit over the years as a steady stream of 4- and 5-star high schoolers wound their way to the NFL Pro Bowl. But our basic premise that this is all more art than science is borne out by looking at Washington State’s history with the star system. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1263028.html 2047 JACK EVANS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1263028.html Fri, 01 Feb 2013 22:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate HEADING INTO HIS official visit to Washington State, three star cornerback Darius Allensworth didn't know what to expect. But after 48 hours on the Palouse, he was singing the praises of the Cougar program, players and staff. The question begs, however, where does his commitment to Cal stand following his trip to Pullman? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1259477.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1259477.html Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate A THREE-STAR WR prospect from the Los Angeles area was in town this past weekend. He came in committed to UCLA and found the college town vibe in Pullman a welcoming experience. How do things stand now on his leaderboard? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1258014.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1258014.html Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:36:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
