La Tech got their spirit broken tonight. Middle of nowhere, cold, body clock says it's Sunday and you're getting ground into the dirt every down. Jimmy has brought Midwest ground and pound to the Palouse.

A bit funny to hear the commentary complaining about attendance. A very mediocre team with very little to play for in a gap year against an opponent no one knows at a 7pm kickoff in November. Of course it's empty.

Burning a timeout to keep your QB in then calling a designed run anyways lmao La Tech what are you doing?

This. The AD job at Wazzu is going to be massively different going forward compared to what it was and you need pres and AD in lock step. Good job by Anne to keep the ship from sinking and smart move by Betsy to act decisively moving into the new era.
McCoy didn't move the athletic department forward in any tangible way, and I wouldn't have expected her to.

That's needed now. This president needs an AD who aligns with her vision for where the university needs to go. For that reason, I'm both unsurprised by today and fully supportive of it.

Why did Thomas even take one?

We'll just go ahead and catch you next year Cougs.

This sounders game is really funny. The entire backline is going leeroy jenkins for no reason whatsoever. This game was done and dusted why are you letting guys run it straight down the middle??

Baseball is so fun, man. Like what do you mean the 9 hitters took the closer deep to tie game 7 of the world series?

I'm going to give Jimmy this, he's got this team way more competitive than I ever expected them to be and a bowl game is still very much on the table which would be an A season for me... But when the wheels fall off on this team the whole rig fucking explodes lmao.

Honestly, impressively awful offensive coaching performance going on here by the Cougs.
November 2, 2025 at 2:50 AM
The Sounders remain torturously bad at penalties lol

Lmao Jimmy this is a capital C Couging

Lesson to Jimmy, the foot never NEVER comes off the gas.

Woooo buddy what a collapse

There is not a void dark enough or an abyss deep enough for Luke Fickell.

No moral victories but man is that a big foundational block placed by Jimmy Rogers. That's a performance you can take on the recruiting trail and a selling point for scheduling big teams.

Absolutely right. Fantastic response to some rough outings by this coaching staff and team.
Regardless of the outcome I never want to hear the w*lff comparisons again
October 11, 2025 at 9:31 PM
*whispers* outside of the UNT debacle this team has been about as good as we could have hoped for.
October 11, 2025 at 6:16 PM
I'd say that's a pretty damn good response from Jimmy and the boys.

Anyways losing to UW always sucks but this year was lost in 2024 and the hope is to not bottom out. That UW offense is legit as well and we'll see if they have enough defense to compete with the top of the Big 10 real real soon. Could be a sleeper playoff team unfortunately.
September 21, 2025 at 3:23 AM
Jedd must have been really hurt by that loss last year lmaooo
September 21, 2025 at 2:43 AM
Lots of encouraging stuff this week but Jimmy is supposed to be a defensive coach and this team just isn't D1 level on that side of the ball.

I joked to my wife the apple cup started at 430 but would probably be over at 5 and... Welp

It's going to be a very long apple cup lol

Not a better vibes manager in the world. USMNT has been very silly never seriously considering him. No one is better at getting the most out of the guys in front of him.
