WSU FALL CAMP: Day 14 Roundup, Plus Soccer Results

Well, this will be your final Fall Camp Roundup, as fall camp has officially broken with the start of classes today. My plan is to start to turn these into regular daily link posts on all things Washington State. To that end, I'd like to know whether it's worth our time to keep doing these.

Just how useful do you find these posts? Take a moment and vote in the poll; links after the jump.

Monday morning WSU links - SportsLink - Spokesman.com - Aug. 23, 2010
James Montgomery is the Cougars’ starting running back. Period. Because he is coming off major leg injuries, he doesn’t go 100 percent at every practice. It’s a way to keep him fresh for what matters, games. He’s a veteran, he knows the offense, he’ll be fine. As for his recovery, there are times he looks as good as he ever looked the past two years. The burst is there, the elusiveness is there, the ability to deliver a hit as he’s being tackled is coming around. He may not be as fast – that’s hard to tell for sure without a baseline time from two years ago – but he still can motor.

It's Pac-10 day! - Pac-10 Blog - ESPN
As you can see from the front of the college football page on ESPN.com, it's Pac-10 day. You know: Like Christmas, except there's no fat dude with a white beard.

School starts at WSU tomorrow - SportsLink - Spokesman.com - Aug. 22, 2010
We tried to count the number of true freshmen who will probably play this year and were surprised to come up with nearly double digits. The players we’ve seen as major contributors on offense, defense or special teams are ...

Scout.com: Cougs take a knee; Sears talks corners
It was a helmets-and-shoulder pad day, the but first-team offense came out focused and looked sharp. Position drills took up much of the workout but the offense made hay in the 11-on-11 portion of the session. On one series, Tuel connected with four different receivers. Leading the pack of grabmasters was senior Jeffrey Solomon who hauled in three passes for 28 yards.

Saturday finally over at WSU - SportsLink - Spokesman.com - Aug. 21, 2010
This is a couple of days old, but I included this because Grippi took a good stab at the two-deep. Worth a look if you missed it on Saturday.

Time to Vote! - WSU Football Blog
Back on July 3rd we launched a contest seeking the best Cougar Football Saturday. The best story, as voted on by you the readers, will receive a copy of the Blue Ribbon Preseason Preview. (The second story is definitely worth your time.)

Cougar Soccer Blanks Utah - WASHINGTON STATE OFFICIAL ATHLETIC SITE
Pittman's goal came on a header in the box after sophomore Shannon McFadden played a ball in from the right side just after crossing midfield. Senior Meghan Berlingo made four saves and posted the ninth shutout of her Cougar career. "We defended very well all weekend," Cougar Head Coach Matt Potter said. "It is a very pleasing start to the year. I thought we were very aggressive today and, for the most part, executed our gameplan." The Cougs finished their opening weekend 1-1-0 after Friday's close loss to No. 6 Florida State.

It depends on what the purpose of the posts is

If, as I suspect, it is purely a collection of information that is “out there” and assembled for our benefit, I like them. But I usually only read one or two stories (if that) and so if the purpose is to promote discussion then they’re not that important to me.

I think it's more to collect the information that's out there and put it all in one place

If you want to discuss it, cool. On the other hand, I’d highly encourage user participation too. If you see something that’s relevant to WSU, college sports, or just interesting in general post a link in the comments. AtQ and their Quack Fixes are a good example of this.

Or the DBDs at Cal Golden Blogs

I usually get lost about fifty comments down, but once in a while I’ll understand it enough to find it hilarious!

I'm not at all opposed to turning link dumps into free for alls

I’m not sure what the rest of the crew thinks, but I’m all for it. All we need is some participation from the class.

Yes.

That's the idea

Mostly just as a resource. It doesn’t take me long to put them together, and I don’t really offer any analysis.

It is a good resource

but many times I have already read the links because they were posted on www.oneclicksportsnow.com. I think they are great for people who are not scouring the internet looking for the most recent videos and news.

Yup, the oneclicksportsnow is a great resource

That’s why I was asking. I mean, Vince does his, too, so I wasn’t sure how much use you all would get out of this.

by Jeff Nusser on Aug 23, 2010 5:47 PM PDT up reply actions  

I appreciate the links, even if I have already seen them.

Sometimes I’m reminded to look somewhere I haven’t yet that day.
