That, plus news and notes from practice, an update on Tony Thompson and more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/923117.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/923117.html Wed, 25 Nov 2009 02:34:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate JACK THOMPSON, WSU's legendary Throwin Samoan, is doing his part to help his native homeland, American Samoa, recover after an 8.0 earthquake and tsunami rocked this island just weeks ago. In the village of Alao where Jack was born, damage was relatively minimal - the house he helped to build for his grandparents still stands. However, the homes of some of his cousins were among those washed away. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/918720.html 2047 SPECIAL TO COUGFAN.COM http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/918720.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:58:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- With QB Jeff Tuel a game time decision for UCLA, Marshall Lobbestael ran the Cougs' first team offense for the majority of a practice for the first time in over a month -- and had a good day doing it. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/918546.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/918546.html Wed, 11 Nov 2009 18:42:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Over the course of his WSU career, starting TE Tony Thompson hasn’t won as much as he would have liked or played as much as he would have liked. Go up and down the roster, however, and it’s doubtful anyone has savored the Washington State football experience more than Thompson. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/911985.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/911985.html Thu, 22 Oct 2009 20:22:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate IT'S NOT OFTEN you see two interception returns for touchdowns in a game. But Alex Hoffman-Ellis and Myron Beck pulled it off in the Cougs' victory over Southern Methodist and the CF.C lens was there to capture them, plus a whole lot more in this 32-shot salute. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/901461.html 2047 GREG DAVIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/901461.html Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE INJURIES ON defense likely means the Cougar offense will need to control the clock and make the most of their scoring opportunities if WSU is to come out on top against Hawaii. Fortunately for Cougar fans, Washington State appears in a position to be able to do just that. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/897987.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/897987.html Fri, 11 Sep 2009 20:16:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Change was the operative word at Martin Stadium on Wednesday. Foremost, perhaps, was crispness of the workout -- the Cougars looked light years better than they did in Tuesday’s disappointing session. There were also a couple of noticeable personnel changes. On the offensive line, second-year freshman Tyson Pencer took some reps with the 1’s, switching off with Steven Ayers at tackle. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/892394.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/892394.html Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:04:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN--The Cougars had to set their alarms earlier than normal this morning for an 8 a.m. practice -- sometimes that means a bit of lethargy creeps in. But this morning on the Palouse saw crisp play in team drills, by both offense and defense alike. Kevin Norrell was a grabmaster, the No. 1 d-line was strong against the run, while their o-line counterparts provided solid pass-pro, plus more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/890901.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/890901.html Sat, 22 Aug 2009 19:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Heralded true freshman quarterback Jeff Tuel briefly took snaps with the 1’s during 7-on-7 drills, but offensive coordinator Todd Sturdy reiterated that the current plan remains for Tuel to redshirt. Kevin Lopina and Jared Karstetter hooked up on a pair of nice gainers, an injury update, a crimson sextet was back returning kicks plus more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/888417.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/888417.html Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:10:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE UPDATED WEIGHTS for the Cougar footballers are in. The numbers, as they were in the spring, remain striking. There are many who have gained 15-20 pounds, and more, since last year. Then there are players who put on the bulk before the spring, then trimmed and repackaged it this summer to add quickness. CF.C charts the progression from fall of '08, to the '09 spring, to today. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/887163.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/887163.html Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:48:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE COUGS graduated their top two TE's from '08. But Tony Thompson is back and there's a reason his blocking looked different this spring. Zach Tatman, a physical presence, was sneaky-good this spring catching the pigskin. Two developing redshirt freshmen, Skylar Stormo and Andrei Lintz -- are they ready to make an impact early on? A comprehensive CF.C positional overview of tight end follows.. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/885250.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/885250.html Thu, 06 Aug 2009 04:14:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate “IS THIS THE Go 2 Guy?” asked the person on the phone. I never know how to respond to that question, and fortunately I don’t get it that often. It’s a nickname that was given to me at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer by managing editor David McCumber when my sports column started seven years ago. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/881986.html 2047 JIM MOORE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/881986.html Mon, 27 Jul 2009 06:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate RICH RASMUSSEN has a quintet of tight ends in the stable this spring -- Tony Thompson, Zach Tatman, Skylar Stormo, Andrei Lintz and Aaron Gehring -- and says all of them bring something different to the position. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/855142.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/855142.html Thu, 09 Apr 2009 19:37:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SO WHO THE HECK is Zach Tatman, and why is one of Washington State's assistant coaches smiling when he talks about him? The short answer is that Tatman is former high school All-State linebacker and JC basketball player whose circuitous path to Pullman last summer now has him in line for some serious playing time this football season -- thanks, in part, to an unexpected vacancy on the depth chart. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/838285.html 2047 PAT MITCHELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/838285.html Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate JC TRANSFER PETER Tuitupou’s decision to leave Washington State for a church mission must have set a record of some sort for fastest casualty in a recruiting class. The new crop of talent isn't officially unveiled until Wednesday and this lad’s already gone. That fact alone is intriguing, but more pressing is what this means for WSU’s depth at tight end in 2009. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/834903.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/834903.html Fri, 30 Jan 2009 19:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE WARM FEELING for Cougar fans won't subside anytime soon following a thrilling double overtime finish in this year's Apple Cup win over the Huskies. Paul Wulff and the Cougar staff, however, have no such luxury. For Washington State, a tough road game to Hawaii looms, and Wulff has asked the Cougar players one very pointed question in particular headed into the final game of the season. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/815694.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/815694.html Tue, 25 Nov 2008 23:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THERE THEY SAT, four prep seniors feted by the local media as they made it official -- four shiny new signed Letters of Intent. They were all going to play Pac-10 ball. Off to the side was another Ballard High player. No cameras took his picture. Nobody asked for an interview. But none of the seated quartet ever threw a pass, a block or made a tackle. The other guy? He started this year's opener. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/809074.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/809074.html Thu, 06 Nov 2008 22:10:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE ROLES WERE reversed, but the names and bloodlines were the same. Cougar freshman quarterback J.T. Levenseller, his redshirt in flames, attempted and completed his first-ever collegiate pass on Saturday in the second quarter at rain-drenched Stanford. Fittingly, the recipient of that inaugural throw was junior tight end Tony Thompson. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/807256.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/807256.html Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:48:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State tight end Tony Thompson, whose dad Jack “The Throwin’ Samoan” Thompson was blessed with the greatest nickname in WSU history, came up Saturday with a catchy new moniker for quarterback Marshall Lobbestael. And by all accounts, the name has swept through the Cougar locker room like wild fire. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/793311.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/793311.html Mon, 22 Sep 2008 18:48:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Full speed and up close in your grill, more photos from Washington State's 48-9 victory over Portland State, including Rogers, Lopina, Lobbestael, Trent, Frischknecht, Alfred, Gibson, Hicks, Tardy, Ivory, Kooyman, Lesuma, Eppele, Thompson, Mattingly, Danaher and more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/792870.html 2047 JACK THOMPSON JR. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/792870.html Sun, 21 Sep 2008 04:13:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate
