PrintNo time to waste, so let's get right into today's trivia question. The football team is 3-6 with three games to play. Win all three and they will be rewarded with a bowl game. This got me to thinking, which leads to today's two trivia questions.
Q: Since 1917 how many winning streaks of at least three games has WSU had?
Q: How many times has WSU won at least three consecutive conference games since joining the Pac-8/10/12?
Each question will be worth 10 points. If no one guesses correctly by 3 p.m. the closest guess wins.
You'll probably see the standings scrolling on the ESPN bottomline later, but if you don't here they are.

WSU's loss to Cal, day-after post Part 1 and Part 2 - SportsLink - Spokesman.com - Nov. 6, 2011
Is it appropriate today is the day everyone in the state of Washington falls back? You can discuss that amongst yourself as we present, in this go round, the links to yesterday's Washington State football game. And basketball coverage. Read on.

Cougars must win out to end bowl drought - Spokesman.com - Nov. 6, 2011
PULLMAN – After Saturday’s deflating 30-7 defeat at the hands of a California team that came in sporting a .500 overall record and tied with Washington State at the bottom of the Pac-12 North, Paul Wulff was introspective.

Twenty-four hours after losing their fifth straight game, the Washington State Cougars learned they may have lost starting quarterback Jeff Tuel for the season.
Cougars Defeat Warriors 88-41 in Exhibition Action - SWX Right Now-Sports for Spokane, CdA, Tri-Cities, WA
PULLMAN, Wash. – Freshman DaVonté Lacy scored a game-high 21 points in his Cougar debut as Washington State University men's basketball defeated Lewis-Clark State College, 88-41, in exhibition action Saturday night at Beasley Coliseum.
What we learned in the Pac-12: Week 10 - College Football Nation Blog - ESPN
Paul Wulff is in trouble: Washington State started 3-1, and there was reasonable hope that the Cougars had turned a corner. But after five consecutive losses, including a pounding at Cal on Saturday, most of the early-season optimism is gone. The schedule ahead -- Arizona State, Utah and Washington -- is rugged. The Cougs will be underdogs in each game. But if coach Paul Wulff doesn't produce an upset or two, it's hard to imagine him keeping his job.
Brink starting to earn passing grades - Winnipeg Free Press
CALGARY -- You go into battle with the army you have, not the one you'd like to have. The reality for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers right now is that they may very well have to be led into the playoff battle this month by backup quarterback Alex Brink rather than their banged-up starter of choice, Buck Pierce.

Best news I've read in a while regarding football
Wulff said senior quarterback Marshall Lobbestael will start against Arizona State, but redshirt freshman Connor Halliday might see action in that game and/or against Utah and Washington.
Not sure why Wulff didn’t sub in Halliday on Saturday. I mean, when we’re down 23 and our QB is preforming horribly why keep him in? Might as well start getting Halliday some reps as we seem to have issues keeping our starters healthy for every game.
Vince hypothesized it had to do with the weather
After watching Bridgeford struggle to simply take snaps, I’m not sure how much value there would have been in putting Halliday in the game late. Now, if you want to talk about bringing him in at halftime …
If I were picking QB's based on Awesome names
I would have to go with Buck Pierce too. Brock Mansion would be the backup.

45 is correct for #1
10 points means you take over second place.

Houston Nutt
How long until his name starts flying around as Wulff’s replacement?

Starting with Nuss?

Starting with me
but yes, Nuss is high on the list. Right after Ronald McDonald, Walter White, and Peter Griffin
by Kyle Rancourt on Nov 7, 2011 6:17 PM PST up reply actions
I'd hire Walter White in a heartbeat
That dude will do anything, literally anything, to win. He might be the only Pac-12 coach still living by the end of his first season.

You should look into some of the stuff going on around the Arkansas program
before he left there.
Highlights include a close family friend harassing Mitch Mustain (remember him from USC) for criticizing Nutt (which Nutt knew was going on) as having a boring O, and not playing well and rumors (unsubstantiated, but strong circumstantial evidence) of an affair with a local reporter.

Hmm ... interesting. Thanks for actually answering me.

Okay
I got confused on the second question. We joined the PCC in 1917, so I guess you were referring to the Pac8 when it started in 1964. I was thinking how many (in conference) 3 game winning streaks have we had since 1917, since that is when they joined the Pacific Coast Conference which is now the Pac12. So they have only had 8 since 1964? I would figure in winning seasons we would have a couple 3 game conference streaks in one year. Sheesh.

I originally had the year in there then took it out.
The questions were a bit confusing anyway. Because it was streaks of 3+ games a streak of seven counted as one. But yes 8 streaks of 3+ since 1964.
by Mark Sandritter on Nov 7, 2011 3:46 PM PST up reply actions
Man I thought we would have
games (in conference) where we win 3 then lose and then win 3 or 4. Something like that. I was thinking since 1917 in conference. Now the more I think about it, when we were in the Pac8, it would be hard to win 3, lose 1, then win 3 again. Now this total makes more sense. We are talking about the Pac8 that is only 7 conference games and that was 12 of the 47 years you are talking about.
