To take over midseason, WSU QB Owen Eshelman had to earn it. He had to prepare like his time was coming. Now it is. I talked to those who know Eshelman best to find out how he arrived here. The consensus: "Esh has that moxie to him." spokesman.com/stories/2026/o…

'Esh has that moxie': How WSU QB Owen Eshelman earned the chance to take over midseason

Right away, coaches couldn’t help but notice the confidence, the poise that Owen Eshelman walked around with. He asked a slew of questions. He was involved in everything. He wanted to know the why...

I love that Brock can see the impending train wreck but he can’t look away!

Reminds me of the time Glenn Foley threw six INTs in a preseason game at AZ. We asked an irritated & profusely sweating Holmgren what was the matter with Foley. “He threw too many interceptions! Next question!”

A rivalry they'll never take for granite!

One summer afternoon last year, WSU grad Jesse Lyon thought about the WSU/OSU rivalry. What ties these schools together? 15 months later, the result is here: The rivalry rock. It may not have a name, but it has a fascinating backstory, which is in here. spokesman.com/stories/2026/o…

PULLMAN – Noah Dunham stared straight ahead, a blank look on his face. Washington State’s center looked confused.

Brock Purdy's playing at an MVP level is no surprise to former San Francisco 49ers QB coach Brian Griese. And he believes there's room for improvement. Check out our conversation in this week's West Coast Read @NFLonFOX tinyurl.com/4k9e27rw

None of the 5-in-5 guys pictured here. Still unclear if they’re able to take part in Saturday’s scrimmage. Other observation: Braden Huff hasn’t been neglecting bi’s and tri’s.

It's good to continue on Pro Football HOF Committee. Not sure how HOF determined who stayed. There are great selectors no longer on the committee. A one-person committee consisting of me would be my preference.
