COTY First Round: #3 Derrick Low vs. #14 Robbie Cowgill

Coug of the Year continues, with an intriguing matchup on tap. It's the first time in the competition that two WSU teammates have met up - not surprising, though, as the entire starting five from last year's men's basketball team finds themselves in the bracket. And for good reason. There's no understating the impact of a Sweet Sixteen appearance on a school and a program that has seen limited basketball success in the last six decades.

Derrick Low is the clear favorite in this matchup; one has to wonder if even Cowgill himself would vote for D-Low in this one. Still, there's something about Cowgill you have to like - whether it's the midrange jumper, the low post defense, or the fact ESPN's Bill Simmons likened his appearance to a member of Greenpeace.

Even after saying that, my vote still goes to Low.

Have to give DLow the vote here...

even though, I think I like the Cowgill video better though (but this isn’t best video of the year). The song and CW saying “gotta have more cowbell”, classic

At the end of the DLow video...

That’s me holding the Always Believe Cougars sign.

Grady, I may never forgive you for this

I simply cannot choose. So my voting ends here.

I miss both.

You think this is bad

If the seeds hold it will be Kyle vs. Derrick in the semi-finals. That will be a brutal decision.

Seriously

That is like Tony vs. Dick Bennett…

hey what ever happened to the pac 10 power poll for football?

We didn't do an end of the year poll

If that’s what you mean. Also, I haven’t checked the cougcenter gmail in ages. So I hope the other blogs weren’t sending in votes, because I’ll feel bad.
