We go over WSU's first bowl win since 2003 and talk about the impact of Gabe Mark's return to Pullman for his senior season.
Get excited: Gabe Marks is back
He set a goal when he came to Washington State, and after the loss to Stanford he decided it was time to return and make a run at it.
Gabe Marks is returning for his senior season

The Cougars took you on a ride this season, and what a ride it was.
Delayed Sun Bowl means more bad weather for WSU vs. Miami
Longer #SunBowl kickoff is delayed due to #LOUvsUK hoops = more of the game played in rain & snow. #GoCougs pic.twitter.com/Q3LKJOkIGy

Is this good for the cold-weather Cougs? Or bad for the pass-happy Cougs? Either way, can the game just get going already? Latest we've heard is the game starts at 11:15 am PT.
Sun Bowl 2015: WSU vs. Miami game thread!

Cougs will rock the uniform combination that saw a win over Oregon earlier in the season when they face Miami in El Paso, on December 26th in the Sun Bowl.. All crimson, just like Santa. I like it.
PREVIEW: Miami's players to watch
Miami has some good players. Let's see how those good players impact the success of their team.
Scouting the Miami Hurricanes: Defense
If Miami rolls out the same kinds of coverage it used prominently during the season, the Cougs should have little problem making it a long afternoon for the Hurricanes.
WSU visits Ft. Bliss in El Paso, plays with tanks and guns

I'll just let the picture of Luke Falk and Gabe Marks standing with their fingers on the triggers of large guns stand on its own without further comment. (Also, I'm digging Falk's new mustache.)
Scouting the Miami Hurricanes: Offense
What tendencies do we see out of Miami? Let's just say there's one particular route combination the Cougars should be especially aware of.
What the Hell is a Miami and/or Sun Bowl?
Everything we could find on Miami and the Sun Bowl (without learning anything about Miami or the Sun Bowl)
Miami's starting safety out for Sun Bowl
#Miami safety Jamal Carter has been suspended for a violation of team rules and will not participate in the 2015 Hyundai Sun Bowl. #WAZZU
— Bruce Feldman (@BruceFeldmanCFB) December 22, 2015
As per usual with the extremely vague "violation of team rules", the Hurricanes aren't saying what Carter did to earn a flight back home but we know he won't be on the field Saturday. Carter is Miami's starting safety and 5th on the team in tackles.
CCH: Vince Grippi and Jerry Steinberg stop by
It's all about the U this week as we preview the Sun Bowl.

The Sun Bowl has 2 fun, young offenses
The Sun Bowl has an odd history of either being the most or least interesting bowl game. If both Washington State and Miami are engaged and interested, then two fun, young offenses could put on a show.
WSU arrives in El Paso for Sun Bowl, party ensues
It's never a party until Mike Leach dons a sombrero and a dance circle breaks out in the middle of an airport. Yep, the Cougs have arrived in El Paso.

It appears WSU fans traveling to El Paso for the Sun Bowl will be going elsewhere this holiday season to drink a bar out of alcohol.
Cougs begin the trip to El Paso
The Cougar football team is headed for warmer temperatures, and hopefully a victory.

That would be (L-R) Tavares Martin Jr., Keith Harrington and Kyrin Priester. Harrington's on his second Pullman winter, while Martin and Priester are enjoying their first. While outsiders wonder why kids from Florida would choose WSU, it doesn't seem to be bothering those warm weather guys too much as they prepare for the Sun Bowl. I'm thinking recent commit Isaiah Johnson feels the same way.
HCA: On-field success leads to more donations
Cougar fans are responding to the football team's success in the most important way possible.
