Sources close to the Cougar head man say he meets this afternoon, as per usual at season's end, with Bill Moos and there are no suppositions going in. SID Bill Stevens, meanwhile, said this morning that "no decision has been made." http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1133077.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1133077.html Sun, 27 Nov 2011 18:36:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – With his bulging biceps, wild hair, colorful language and plentiful tattoos, Washington State linebacker Alex Hoffman-Ellis will never be confused with the local librarian. “He kinda looks scary,” WSU defensive end Travis Long admits. No doubt some rivals share Long’s opinion. Take Hoffman-Ellis off the football field, however, and the wild-eyed outside linebacker is a different fellow. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1131968.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1131968.html Wed, 23 Nov 2011 19:59:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Washington State linebacker Sekope Kaufusi grew up poor without a father in a crime-filled section of East Palo Alto, Calif. He became a father himself a few days before he turned 18 and graduated from high school. Obviously, Kaufusi has dealt with more serious issues than a tough football loss or two. That doesn’t mean Kaufusi does not seethe at the losses. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1122048.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1122048.html Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:26:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate SEATTLE -- For years, containing a Washington State defensive end was nearly as difficult as shutting out the Cougars. There will be plenty of storylines to come out of the 44-21 loss against Oregon State at CenturyLink Field but if there was one certainty Saturday night it was this -- there was no crimson blur coming off the edge. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1120470.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1120470.html Sun, 23 Oct 2011 06:55:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- A good game turned into a long game Saturday night for Washington State, but along the way while sitting in Martin Stadium’s press box, a thought occurred to me: The Cougars could be next year’s Stanford. OK, maybe not No. 5-ranked and all that. But darned good and a tour de force on many Saturdays as the Cardinal have been this season? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1117928.html 2047 NICK DASCHEL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1117928.html Sun, 16 Oct 2011 19:01:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE WASHINGTON STATE DEFENSE has been preparing for UCLA since the day last season ended. Well, maybe not literally, but figuratively and in every other sense of the word. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1115085.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1115085.html Sat, 08 Oct 2011 17:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Todd Sturdy and Chris Ball earned their college degrees more than two decades ago, but some Washington State football fans are convinced that Sturdy and Ball have suddenly become a whole lot smarter. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1114235.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1114235.html Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:27:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Quarterback Marshall Lobbestael had a smile on his face following the Cougs' 59-7 shellacking of UNLV, something offensive coordinator Todd Sturdy said doesn't come often from the fifth-year signal caller. But on Saturday, Lobbestael deserved to smile and smile wide. Heck, mayor Glenn Johnson should give him the key to the city. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1105239.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1105239.html Sun, 11 Sep 2011 05:49:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PLEASED BUT NOT SATISFIED. That’s an apt way to describe Chris Tormey’s take on his group after his first game as the Cougars’ linebackers coach. CF.C was able to grab the widely respected coach and recruiter in between staff meetings on Monday for a revealing Q&A… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1103377.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1103377.html Tue, 06 Sep 2011 15:36:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN-- The Cougs had a productive practice Saturday -- both the offense and defense had their moments. On the D-line, DE Adam Coerper is trying his level best to impress the coaching staff and Chris Ball let him know he liked what he saw from the the redshirt junior on Saturday. Coerper tells CF.C he's ready to make a strong claim for the starting job. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1095533.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1095533.html Sun, 14 Aug 2011 02:01:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The pads are on, two-a-days have begun and the sights on Cougar Football out on the Palouse are at full pitch. Another look at the action, as seen by the CF.C lens.. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1095467.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1095467.html Sat, 13 Aug 2011 22:05:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Two days into fall camp the Cougs are breaking out the polish sooner, and moving through the to-do list faster, than they have since Paul Wulff and Co. arrived on the scene at Washington State. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1093614.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1093614.html Tue, 09 Aug 2011 01:55:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE COUGARS HAVE had to go away from their base defense on multiple occasions the past three seasons due primarily to two reasons -- injury and because other schemes better fit the personnel. But based on how this spring has unfolded, says defensive coordinator Chris Ball, the 2011 campaign is shaping up to be different. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1063678.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1063678.html Tue, 12 Apr 2011 21:55:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate YOU SEE IT debated by passionate Cougar fans all the time – does what people say on the message boards really influence recruiting all that much? Washington State defensive coordinator and assistant head coach Chris Ball has an opinion on the matter. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1062623.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1062623.html Fri, 08 Apr 2011 16:56:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THERE'S A REASON Washington State defensive coordinator and assistant head coach Chris Ball has a reputation as a major league recruiter. He's personable and gregarious, yet frank and professional, and all at the same time. CF.C found that out first hand in a wide-ranging interview the other day. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1061567.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1061567.html Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:43:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE DEFENSIVE LINE this spring holds intrigue galore. Will the Cougars run more of their 4-3 base this season on defense? Or will it be a situation similar to recent years, where the Cougars make liberal use of the 3-4? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1057787.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1057787.html Mon, 21 Mar 2011 20:30:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PAUL WULFF'S football team ran through the first spring practice on Monday, and Cougfan.com was there to capture the action. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1054235.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1054235.html Tue, 08 Mar 2011 20:19:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate BROKEN DOWN by state, Washington State’s recruiting class of 2011 is led by the usual suspects, Washington and California. But the third-most prominent state from this year’s class? Florida. Florida? Land of Disney World, LeBron James and 3,000 miles from Pullman? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1045308.html 2047 NICK DASCHEL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1045308.html Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:10:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate CORVALLIS, Ore. -- It was the type of victory that makes an old man feel young again. Yes, even crusty old sports writers. Washington State’s dominating performance over Oregon State was a win for the ages. And the aged. And the young. And all those in between. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1021774.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1021774.html Sun, 14 Nov 2010 17:57:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
