I don't have time to do any real writing in advance of tonight's big matchup with LSU, so I figured I'd just pass along what's out there today for your reading and listening pleasure.
But before I do, just a little piece of info for you: I'm going to be at the game tonight, but since my EnV phone doesn't like SBN mobile, I won't be on the game thread. Instead, I'll be tweeting updates on my thoughts throughout the game via my Twitter account @NussCoug.
And if you've been nervous about jumping into the Twitter fray or don't see why it's actually pretty cool, might I suggest downloading and installing TweetDeck? It makes it so much easier to follow people and post updates. You might just get addicted, as I am. There's also a TweetDeck app for iPhone, but I haven't used it.
OK, back to tonight's game.
For your reading pleasure, here are the various game previews from around the web:
- Vince Grippi checks in with his for the Spokesman-Review, focusing on Reggie Moore and his improving play -- especially with regards to assists.
- Bud Withers checks in with his for The Seattle Times, also focusing on Moore, but with a little different slant -- exploring whether Seattle can indeed become fertile recruiting ground for Cougs. I'll say this: Reggie Moore is looking like one heck of a recruiter.
- Howie Stalwick checks in with his for The News Tribune/The Olympian, focusing on ... wait for it ... Reggie Moore! I would say that this is the least insightful of the three, covering ground that a lot of people already know.
- There's also this one from the LSU perspective. (H/T to Grippi for this one.)
For your listening pleasure, some interviews over the past week from KJR 950-AM in Seattle:
Ken Bone with Ian Furness on 12/18
Trent Johnson with Mitch Levy on 12/18
Ben Johnson with Ian Furness on 12/15

If only I had an iPhone

I'm not sure having an iPhone is worth dealing with AT&T
I was much happier with my service when I was with Verizon.
Just found out the game is on CBS College Sports
Sweet!! Cougs are 6 point fav’s, but CBSsports.com daily projections have us losing by a couple. Should be a good game.
Does anyone even have CBS College Sports?
I have every channel possible, even premium channels and still do not get CBS College Sports. I am glad WSU is at least on TV, but it would be nice if they could get it on a channel most of their fans can see.

613 on Directv
Maybe the sports pack includes it. My package sure doesn’t though.

Not on Comcast in Nashville.
Sad face.

Also
Craig and I did talk about the LSU matchup on last week’s podcast, too. You can find it on the front page or on the player on the right.
Great quote from Trent Johnson in the LSU perspective story
"The bottom line for us is, Washington State is probably the best team and is playing the best basketball of any team in the Pac 10 this year," Johnson said.
Yeah, I was just about ready to post that, but you beat me to it.
I wonder if that is how he actually feels or if he’s trying to downplay expectations/motivate his team/whatever other reasons he might have for saying that.

Coach speak
How much respect is there for WSU down in Baton Rouge? Probably not much so if he loses he can say after the game how he knew WSU was a tough out. How they have the best record in the league. If he wins he can say they same but show they got a quality win.
Does CBS stream their games live on-line?
Perhaps like they do for the NCAA tourney. If not, Justintv might be in order.
If the bars are any indication
should be a good crowd. Took awhile to find a place with room for my wife and I. She can’t believe coug fans were filling bars 2 hours before the game. Obviously, she didn’t attend WSU and is a convert by marriage.
Coug fans are excited to have a real reason to party
Instead of weekly group therapy sessions.
