Let Me Tell You: Washington State University Sports (WSU)

In this episode of Let Me Tell You, I talk about two new players who have made an impact immediately since coming to Pullman for the volleyball team, Katy Ryan and Karly Basham. I talk about the transfer portal, the brilliant lead recruiter, and more! The top 25 ranked team is poised for big things!

I talked to Mike Dugar, former Daily Evergreen editor, WSU alum, and current Seahawks beat writer for the Atheltic about Cougar sports. We talk about Jake Dickert's first game as acting head coach, potential candidates for the next head coach, and the chances that Kyle Smith's cougar basketball team makes it to the NCAA Tourdament. Did you know Mike Dugar took theatre 105 at WSU?

Nick Rolovich is no longer the head coach of the cougars. He and four other assistant coaches have been fired, which means that Jake Dicket will be promoted from Defensive Coordinator to interim head coach!

Potentially in Nick Rolovich's final game as head coach of WSU football, he beat the Stanford Cardinal on a forced defensive fumble 34-31! Multiple players had sacks. Max Borghi was finally used to his true potential, scoring two rushing touchdowns that helped us win. Some questionable calls in the first half made the score closer than it needed to be. I also talk about ZZUMania, Volleyball, and soccer's postseason odds.

The 100th episode of Let Me Tell You is here! We talk about the shocking upset of the Oregon State Beavers by the Cougars in football. The pass defense looked incredible this weekend. Do the Cougs have a chance to win the Pac-12 North? Volleyball pulled off a sweep of the Arizona schools and swept the University of Arizona in three sets in Tucson for the first time since 2016. The soccer team has a fantastic opportunity to win the Pac-12 Championship after beating Berkley 2-0!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF THE FANS! YOUR SUPPORT MEANS THE WORLD! GO COUGS!

Hall of Famer Pete Arbogast joined me to talk about how he secured the job as the radio voice for the USC Trojans in the late 80s. We talk about his favorite story about the late great Bob Robertson, the UCLA and Notre Dame rivalry with USC, and how he literally ran into Ervin "Magic" Johnson at a game. How would Vin Scully do calling football, find out in Pete Arbogast's opinion?

For what feels like the first time in two years, the cougar football team did not blow a halftime lead. The cougs won 21-6 against Berkley. The defensive line was the story for the game. Multiple players with sacks, and Brendan Jackson had two as he is continuing his breakout year. Calvin Jackson Jr. made one of the greatest toe-taping touch grabs in the history of football. His play made it to first place on Sportscenter's top 10. Could Max Borghi transfer?

Four games into the football season.... and it's over! Cougar football season is done. The Cougar football team has a systemic problem that has to be fixed. During the last two seasons, the Cougars are 2-6 while also blowing five leads in the second half. This coaching staff defies basic coaching concepts. I truly do not know if I'm going to watch anymore, which bums me because this year was supposed to be fun with fans in the stands! Is what Cougar football is from now on?

Another day another blown lead. Sadly, a trend is starting to emerge during the early stages of the Nick Rolovich era of Cougar football. The cougars lost 45-14 giving up 45 unanswered points in the second half to the backup quarterback for the Trojans. Abe Lucas, the fifth-year senior did not mince words during his post-game press conference so give it a listen.

Raquel Atawo, the former Cal Golden Bear, steps into the fill the shoes of Lisa Hart, who had a successful 18 year run in Pullman. At one point, Raquel Atawo was the #10 ranked Doubles player in the WTA. But the question is, how will the former All-American and National Champion handle the challenge of improving the tennis team? Will she be able to knock off her former school, Cal? We will find out soon, but anyone in Pullman should check out the games cause I guarantee these players will be giving it their 100% every serve! Go Cougs
