While we wait for Ken Bone's up in the air status to be resolved, there were some football things happening on Thursday to help pass the time. The Cougars held their pro day on Rogers field, with the departing seniors working out for pro scouts.

Hoops: Did anyone notice Lacy's amazing season?

The group included Deone Bucannon who was back in town, fresh off an impressive performance at the combine. Bucannon was the the main draw, but he wasn't the only Cougar working out. KREM 2 Sports Director Darnay Tripp was in attendance and with the help of his feed (@DarnayTripp) let's Twitterecap this thing.

Don't you hate when that happens? I dropped a semi truck on my knee last week and now I can't get good elevation on my jump shot. Brutal.

Before you freak out by that picture and think Bucannon is wearing Oregon gear, he simply wore the Nike stuff issued at the combine.

I guess you could say WSU's pro day was Furnalicious.

Tripp and KREM also shot some video. I didn't think it was possible for Bucannon to be more jacked than he was heading into the season, but it appears he's spent some time in the weight room since the New Mexico Bowl. If that whole NFL thing doesn't work out, maybe he'll follow in the footsteps of former Cougar linebacker Greg Trent and become a bodybuilder. Seriously, Greg Trent is really a body builder (note: that link contains a lot of flexing in speedos, also terrible audio.)

Equipped with a glazed donut and a cup of coffee, Ken Bone powered on his laptop and absorbed film. Again. On long drives, plane rides, even in the middle of the night when sleep evaded him, Bone rarely passed up a chance to improve his struggling Washington State men's basketball team.
