  1. Number 1: WSU Defense Shows Upside in Apple Cup/ WSU @ Kansas State Preview with KSU Reporter Wyatt Wheeler

    Washington State lost the 118th Apple Cup 24-10, and the two halves of the team went in opposite directions. The defense held No. 17 Washington to 10 points through three quarters. The offense did not convert a single third down. Now the Cougs go to Manhattan for the first meeting ever between Washington State and Kansas State, against a team that just hung 71 on an FCS opponent and is missing three left tackles. Wyatt Wheeler, who covers the Wildcats for the USA TODAY Network and the Topeka Capital-Journal, joins us to explain what K-State actually is.

  3. Number 3: WSU Announces QB 1/ WSU Band NOT Going to Apple Cup/ Erik Coleman Joins Us

    Washington State has a starting quarterback. Caden Pinnick, the UC Davis transfer who won Big Sky Freshman of the Year last season, got the job Monday afternoon over Julian Dugger and Owen Eshelman, and he'll make his first start September 6 at Husky Stadium. One year to the day before that, he walked into the same building wearing UC Davis blue and threw for 50 yards in a 70-10 loss. We break down where he came from, the four days in January that landed him in Pullman, and what fall camp actually decided. Then there's the part nobody at either school wants to talk about. The Cougar Marching Band isn't traveling to Seattle for the Apple Cup. The reported reason is where they'd be seated at Husky Stadium. Washington says the decision belongs to WSU. WSU's band director answered a student reporter with two words: "No comment." Band members were told not to discuss it. We get into what that silence says about a rivalry that has already lost five Apple Cups this year across other sports. Erik Coleman joins us on the Couch. Coleman was a first-team All-Pac-10 safety at Washington State, led the Pac-10 in interceptions in 2003, and forced the fumble that flipped the Holiday Bowl against No. 5 Texas. He played nine NFL seasons with the Jets, Falcons and Lions, and he's now USA Network's Pac-12 studio analyst for the conference's first season. That means he has to say what he actually thinks about this league on national television every week. We asked him to do it here first, including a prediction on the Apple Cup he can't take back. We've also got our sit-down with Ben the Cowboy Realtor, and we're proud to announce that Ben is the presenting sponsor of Cougs on the Couch for the 2026 season. Ben's a Real estate agent serving Washington & Oregon, and he's the kind of Coug-owned business this show was built to support.

  4. Number 4: WSU's New Edge Rusher From Berlin (Zunk) & Newest LB Transfer (Warner) Join the Show

    Two of Washington State's newest defenders join the show, and neither one took a normal road to Pullman. DJ Warner was the No. 67 recruit in the country coming out of Desert Edge in Arizona. He went to Kansas with his cousin and a high school teammate, spent a year at SMU, and is now learning a brand new position: he played on the edge his first two years and Trent Bray has him at off-ball linebacker. Bray says he's night and day from where he was in the spring, and he looks like a starter. Linus Zunk grew up in Berlin playing club basketball, picked up football as a teenager because the practice field happened to be close to his house, and showed up at a Georgia prep school as a junior with zero college offers. Four years and 36 games at Vanderbilt later, including the best season in that program's history, he's a 6-6 edge rusher spending his last year of eligibility on the Palouse. We get into the Berlin-to-the-SEC path, why you leave a program right after it wins 10 games for the first time ever, what it actually feels like to drop into coverage after two years of rushing the passer, and what this defense has to do differently after finishing 41st in the country in sacks last season. The Apple Cup is 19 days out. If you're new here, hit subscribe and turn on notifications so you don't miss a Cougs on the Couch episode this season. New shows every week through the fall.

  5. Number 5: 12 Power Four Transfers in ONE Year: Inside WSU's Roster Reload | GM Brad Larrondo

    We got WSU FB's GM on the Couch two weeks out from the opener at Washington, and he walked us through all of it: the 32 portal additions, how 12 of them came from Power Four programs when WSU had only 16 power-conference transfers in the previous five years combined, and how the Cougars kept 67% of an eligible roster through a third head coaching change in three years. He also told us the Caden Pinnick story. Pinnick entered the portal on January 2, visited Colorado on January 5, and committed to Washington State on January 6. Larrondo explains how Pinnick got on the board, why the UC Davis offense translated, and why he still has to win the job in camp. Plus: the quarterback room top to bottom, why the backup job matters as much as the starter, what Matyus McLain and Linus Zunk brought to the defensive line, and Larrondo's twenty-year history with Kirby Moore going back to Moore's playing days at Boise State.
