Jimmy Rogers is now the coach at Iowa State after just one season at WSU, and the Cougars are again searching for a someone to lead the football program, just 11 months after doing it the last time. We're pretty mad at Rogers for leaving the way he did, and concerned for what it means going forward. Yet, we press on, discussing some of the names that intrigue us as replacements. Plus, we talk men's and women's basketball -- both of which remain dreadful -- trying to figure out what the path is for each to improve, before looking at soccer's new coach, who comes to us from Montana.

The Cougars are headed to a bowl game after beating Oregon State, and we are beyond thrilled -- it represents a significant milestone in Jimmy Rogers first season that certainly wasn’t a foregone conclusion. We talk about that accomplishment, plus how the recruits who were added on Wednesday will fit into the long-term picture at WSU. Meanwhile, the men’s and women’s basketball teams are struggling. We dig into what’s going on there before turning our attention to the change in soccer coach in Pullman. Todd Shulenberger’s departure is a bit of a stunner!

The Cougars paid off their close losses to Mississippi and Virginia with a nice, comfortable win over Toledo at home. The fantastic defense and serviceable offense have us feeling pretty great about what the rese of the season will hold, including when the Cougs travel to Corvallis on Saturday to take on Oregon State.

The bye week has come and gone, and now the WSU Cougars steel themselves for what is the toughest non-Pac-12 test in 20 years: A trip to Oxford, Mississippi, to take on No. 4 Ole Miss. The oddsmakers expect it to get ugly, and honestly? We do too ... although we wouldn’t be surprised Lane Kiffin’s crew was still basking in the glory of a win over LSU and looking ahead to next week’s game against Georgia. Is it enough for the Cougs to make a game out of it?

Following two weeks of abject embarrassment, the WSU Cougars redeemed themselves to a pretty good degree with a convincing win over the Colorado State Rams. The defense was excellent, giving up just three points; the offense, while inconsistent, did more than enough in the first half for the team to cruise to victory. It was a good feeling!
