Vandals can drive, but can’t hit end zone The Idaho Vandals proved they can drive against the Washington Huskies, but they can’t hit the end zone.

Max Komar is having a big day already. He’s had two kickoff returns for a combined 40 yards and two huge catches, one for 12 yards and the other for 33 yards. The Vandals are moving the ball forward, but penalties - holding and personal fouls, halt all progression. Twice Idaho was in good position only to [...]

It has to be an exciting day for players like Max Komar, Matt Cleveland, Eric Greenwood, Jonah Sataraka and Shiloh Keo who are from the Seattle a I’m sure most of them had dreams of playing here in a different uniform when they were little guys. How great that they get the chance to play here [...]

They are making a movie out of the book “Eat, Pray, Love,” which for those of you not aware is the story of journalist Elizabeth Gilbert’s path to self discovery and she literally eats, prays and loves her way through Italy, India and [...]

When football’s fall camp began I was excited to see what the guys had to offer. Now I’m ready for the season to begin - never satisfied I guess. Here’s what I like so far: - The depth, power and speed at running back. - The receivers look faster and stronger and are actually ripping balls away from the [...]

In case you haven’t heard, Man Men is starting its third season. I’m still in the middle of Season 2 on DVD, but if you’re up-to-speed and don’t have premium cable, the good news is, the season premiere is available for free viewing at www.hulu.com/mad-men. I hope you’re as excited to lose yourself in the [...]

Injuries are once again mounting for an already thin Washington State football team. Neither side of the ball has been immune. On defense, the linebacker crew is without two starters – Andy Mattingly and Alex Hoffman-Ellis – while four key wide receivers – Jeshua Anderson, Daniel Blackledge, Jeffrey Solomon and Johnny Forzani – have been either held [...]
