Washington State was embarrassed last year when three of its top players had separate run-ins with the law over marijuana, and this offseason coach Ken Bone has tried to change the team culture by getting the Cougars to go out and perform community service. Apparently, Bone didn't stop there with finding ways to teach his players.

Football faces must-win game against WSU | ASU News | The State Press | Arizona State University
The high for the game in Pullman will be a brisk 39 degrees. With the vast majority of the team from the southwest, it’ll be a unique and chilly experience. "Maybe we’ll be making snow angels," said ASU junior quarterback Brock Osweiler, who is one of the few Sun Devils born in cold weather. "But you don’t change anything, there are little tricks to help stay warm but it’s going to be fun. It’ll be a new challenge for us."

Bone I think is starting to really

solidify this program and put his stamp on it. The ethics and morality article was good. Bone is trying to go beyond just being a coach. I hope in two years we are still not talking about Tony Bennett.

This is a great class. We all know Que is a good sign, but boy did Bone’s face light up when he talked about Brett Boese. It is like he got a diamond in the rough. I didn’t realize he was hurt his Junior year so a lot of people haven’t seen him play. I feel like we are getting a Abe Lodwick type of player. Bone was also really excited about Longrus, he is already ready defensively and on the boards but Bone sees a huge upside on the offensive end. I like the Longrus sign. I can’t wait for next season.
