WSU Cancels School, But Cougar Basketball Game Vs. Stanford On As Scheduled

PrintYou might have heard that there is a fair amount of snow in the Northwest. While there was about six inches of snow on the ground at my house when I woke up this morning, it seems there was just a wee bit more in Pullman, causing classes to be canceled today and tomorrow.
However, not even Snowpocalypse 2012 can stop basketball: Thursday's men's basketball game against Stanford in Pullman is on as scheduled at 7:05 p.m. In fact, they want you to come watch the team so badly, they're offering you $10 lower bowl tickets as an incentive to get you there.
You might note that WSU said "as of now" in the tweet that I linked, suggesting the game could still be postponed. But as noted by Christian Caple earlier, it likely would take something crazy like Stanford being unable to fly into Spokane tomorrow or bus down from there for that to happen. I would guess the likelihood of that happening would be rather small.
And if you were wondering, there's actually only one way for you to watch the game tomorrow if you don't plan on being one of the presumably hundreds in attendance: Via Cougars All-Access at WSUCougars.com. It'll cost you $9.95 for a month, although if it makes you feel any better, that's the only way to see Saturday's game against Cal, the Feb. 2 game against USC. Maybe that will make it worth it to you.

Snow days are great
My entire life growing up I didn’t get a single one (they don’t close school in Montana for snow, though I did have a day where school was cancelled because a Mountain Lion was seen near the school) so those two days we got off in ’08 at WSU were magical.

You call them Mountain Lions? I call them Cougars

I'm going to brave the 3.5 blocks and be there
Hopefully, there will be a lot of students there. It’s not televised.

Snort. No, I was a student many moons ago.
I was just letting Jeff know night classes were in session.
Sorry, now I see you were making a declarative sentence not asking a question :-)

I heard they were gonna cancel the Cal-UW game because of snow
But Romar shouted to the heavens so vehemently that God gave him a tech, then the clouds parted and all the snow melted. At least that’s what Physioc told me.
I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'm all out of bubble gum.

I bleed Crimson and I get excited about the games no matter what
In fact, I spend the last ten minutes of my night when I lay down to sleep thinking about the kind of things we discuss and debate in here. Who she be getting more playing time? What’s next year’s lineup going to look like? Plus, for me, the money or time isn’t an issue because I am here in Pullman . That said, I’ll probably be walking out of Beasley tomorrow night hoarse and mad as hell asking the same question you are, “Was it really worth it?” But then I’ll be back for the game on Saturday vs. Cal.

It's hard to watch this iteration of cougars for those that were spoiled in the Bennett years
Those teams were by and large just so gritty and hard nosed. Plus we were unique and we had a system not many other teams used around the country.
Two good years and your spoiled for life, huh????

Yes, you know it's just about that extra 15 seconds to proofread.

Yes, I was totally going to write a post about how much I miss Tony Bennett
and how much tougher and grittier his kids were.

Kinda funny
Some guy was talking to me at a bar the other day and he thought the same thing.

This is how I feel when people talk about missing Bennett, and how his players were "tougher":

Seriously!
SMU is getting the recruiting shaft!…Don’t ya just love it.
All these decommits from SMU have me curious.
Is all this because of June Jones fallout, Klemm going to UCLA, Leach back into coaching? It’s interesting that if maybe one or two of these didn’t happen, we wouldn’t be having these conversations.
Yeah, post will be up tomorrow.
More traffic that way. SEO wink!

That is a nice setup for a joke about PAC12 officials if somebody wants to take it

With the snow alert upgraded to HOLY S*** status,
If you don’t have a snowmobile in Pullman, we might have to call Dougie Franklin.
Dougie: “I can bring Mike Leach up north in this rig.”
Red Green: “I’ll give you some crimson duct tape. Go Cougs!”
It is all ice now. It looks great on trees, but potentially dangerous.

You made me go outside to see if it was really precipitating
I had no clue that there was a light rain falling because I couldn’t see it out my window.
