Well, that could hardly have gone worse!

No. 13 WSU football traveled to Los Angeles and lost to UCLA. No. 4 volleyball hosted No. 3 Stanford and lost. Soccer went to Tempe and got pummeled by Arizona State, 5-1.

And yet, even in the wake of these disappointing results, we find ourselves encouraged by many aspects of the performances turned in, particularly as it pertains to football and volleyball.

Craig’s got the week off, so let’s discuss all this and more — with special guest Zane Murfitt!

Other topics of discussion:

* Beer. Jeff: Fresh Hop Gorgeous IPA (Rueben’s Brews). Zane: Johnny Utah (Georgetown).

* Volleyball dropped a heartbreaker to No. 3 Stanford.

* WSU soccer started its weekend with a nice comeback win over Arizona, but then crashed hard on Sunday.
