Sources: Washington State has targeted Missouri offensive coordinator Kirby Moore to be the school's next coach. The sides are working toward a deal, that's expected to come together today. He's a former wide receiver at Boise and the former Fresno State OC.
The value in College Athletics is in regional pride and friendly tribalism. It's never been about the best players in the world (That's the NFL). This is what ESPN never understood.
You can't curry attention to schools that viewers don't have emotional ties to. If I live in Montana, I don't care that Texas Tech's $50 Million team is playing Oklahoma's $30 Million team. Nobody I work with went there. Nobody I'm seeing over the holidays went there. Neither are as good as the worst NFL team.
It's not interesting and it's not a viable financial model.
Deep seeded regional rivalries that split a family down the middle on Thanksgiving week? That's a game people are interested in.
Is it just me or is Washington State kind of a live dog this weekend? I think they could beat Ole Miss outright. Total trap game. No chance Lane has his team ready with Georgia on deck
For the first time in his career, Blake Snell has thrown six innings in a postseason game. And they've been phenomenal: one hit, one walk, nine strikeouts and only 70 pitches. Dodgers are ahead, 6-0, on the strength of four home runs. They look like a machine.
Great news for Mike Leach fans: College Football Hall of Fame will lower win percentage in 2027 for coaches from 60 to 59.5 percent, which will make the former Mississippi State/Texas Tech/Washington State coach eligible to join the hall
The Cougar Collective was founded out of necessity. That necessity?
To support a transfer QB from Incarnate Word.
A QB with immense talent and relatively little fanfare who wanted to play for his former HC (now the WSU OC). A QB who asked for NIL support to help his sister’s AAU team go to out-of-town tournaments.
So, a group of passionate alums pooled their resources, skills, and knowledge to get it done. Was it clean? No. Was it easy? Definitely not. Was it a necessity? Absolutely.
Without the necessity to support @Cameron7Ward, the Cougar Collective is not what it is today.
So, a heartfelt congratulations is in order for Cam, Calvin, Patrice, and the entire Ward family. You deserve this honor. Coug nation is forever grateful for your contributions and we can’t wait to see how far that Bachelor’s degree from @WSUPullman takes you!
Our only question is, who’s next?

The @WSUCougarFB players/coaches left it on the grass tonight. Per usual.
@WSUCougarFB is such a powerful brand & has lived such a unique story over the last two seasons amid transitions to their league, no fault of their own.
If you have ever been to Pullman or know the ethos of the Cougs, you trust that this is a proud program that will compete through this transition and find success. It's just who they are. It's who Cougs have always been.
Was not surprised one bit by their effort tonight.
