PrintLost in all of the talk of coaching hot seats, medical hardships, radio rants and who is or is not a 'nog, has been the fact WSU is averaging 33.3 PPG. I remember a time in the last two seasons where a friend and I celebrated the fact the team scored 20 points in a game. That got me to thinking, which leads to today's three part CCMMTQ.
Q: Since 1917, how many seasons has WSU averaged 30.0 or more points per game? Not including 2011.
Q: Since 1917, what is WSU's highest single season points per game average?
Q: Since 1917, what is WSU's lowest single season points per game average?
Each question will be worth 10 points. If there is no correct answer by 3 p.m, the closest guess will receive the points. If you get all three answers exactly correct you will receive eleventy billion negative points for being a cheater.
Up to the second standings:
Wazzu-Hondo - 60

Blackie1829 - 37
Coug999 - 33

B-lot tailgater - 24
Neil Vincent Roberts - 24

Oregon struggles in football win; Ducks beat Washington State with James, Thomas, but it's not easy | State | The Bulletin
The stars were back, but the Ducks do not appear ready for a grueling November. Despite being an overwhelming 35-point favorite, No. 7 Oregon staggered its way to its seventh consecutive victory, a 43-28 decision over Washington State on a cloudy Saturday afternoon at Autzen Stadium.

The 4-4, 1-4 California Golden Bears can still become bowl eligible, but they're going to have to avoid three more meltdowns in their final four games. California's next test is a home game of sorts in San Francisco against the beat-up 3-5, 1-4 Washington State Cougars.

With Washington State suffering its fourth straight loss — this one at the hands of Oregon — you can bet the Dens of Venom known as chat rooms will be filled with disgust for Cougars coach Paul Wulff.

I read with interest Paul Wulff’s claim that the Oregon State loss was most disappointing because improvement of the Cougar football program has given fans the chance to expect victory.

With an early start time for Saturday's game, there was enough time to get organized afterward, write and then put together items for this morning's post. Plenty of time. So we have more than usual for you on the link. Read on.
Washington State left to lament its mistakes | Two interceptions in the red zone and special teams blowups combine to cost the Cougars an upset shot
There’s something about the Oregon Ducks that brings out the fight in Washington State. For the second consecutive year the Cougars scrapped with a highly touted Oregon team and afterward talked about what could have been. WSU coach Paul Wulff, whose team fell to 3-5 overall and 1-4 in Pac-12 play, even brought up the "M" word after his team’s 43-28 loss Saturday. "Moral victories ... those things don’t matter to us anymore," he said. "We’re better than that. We want to win games."

very misleading stat
33 points a game is very misleading because it includes the ISU and UNLV games.. they should be removed. Any team with half a pulse would beat those 2..,.. Totally meaningless. In the remaining 6 games we have averaged 24 /game. Pretty weak for a supposed strength going into the season. Take out the two cupcake games, and we have ONE win, a miracle win against a terrible Colorado team that loses by 30-40 to everyone else. Where is all this improvement?
We can’t beat SDSU, UCLA, or OSU. Yet somehow we can win 3 of the remaining 4? Against 4 quality teams?
PPG is always a misleading stat.
It’s just for fun. Also, I don’t know how any of what you said had anything to do with 89Coug’s comment.
Do you ever smile?

I can't believe you said that without being vindictive and condescending.
Are you feeling okay?

Odds open up at 10:1 that a plastered WSU fan will streak on the field and steal Sparky's pitchfork.

Pretty good odds
Considering how few fans are likely to be in the stadium…

Can I bring a notecard?
What about an extension? What’s the curve like?

You can use one notecard, bring a blank blue book and if you're wearing a hat take it off or turn it backwards.
by Mark Sandritter on Oct 31, 2011 3:27 PM PDT up reply actions
You didn't specify notecard size.
Since you didn’t, im making a 3′×4′ card.

Fine you do that.
But just so you know, the stuff on the study guide might not be the same as what’s on the test! In fact, it none of it may be on the test.

Scantron would fix this mess!
Although you can always pull the “I erased it, but the Scantron still scanned it” excuse.

so you researched your other answer too?

This is my first MMCCTQ because I always sleep until noon and the questions are pretty much answered already
but, YOU ARE ALL CHEATERS.
(I didn’t win, therefore you all cheated. It’s science.)
I tried googling some of these questions one time
its impossible to cheat! This Mark….hes a thinker
Apparently you guys don't remember
the brilliance of Terrance Maddox.

Hey how's this for a short story?
A guy can’t sell his blood cause he’s got hepatitis, but he can’t afford hepatitis medicine unless he sells his blood. So he poses nude in art classes. Plus one time he did it with a dead guy….
…But before I go I’ve got something to say to you people. You talk about ancient beauty and life forms, but if you asked me you wouldn’t know real beauty if it was outside in the parking lot waiting to give you hepatitis. Which it will be ten minutes from now. Good day to you.
I kicked ass too
I got a A, two B’s and a C……but don’t tell the 6th street blood bank…wink.

How many scholarships do we have left for this recruiting class?
Random question of the day….too lazy to make a fanshot of it and this seems to be the hotspot right now lol
40.25
Crap, why are Mark, Coug999 and Blackie1829 all possessing cat o’ nine tails?
[Ouch! That hurts.]
Serious answer: no idea
But there are 79 on scholarship now and I’m assuming the six missing players are the non-qualifiers from this year (including Dockery, who will be in Pullman at semester). It still won’t be a full class, but maybe 18-20?
