Hello Followers.  Hope you had a great weekend.

In case, you missed this morning's post, LB put up a dandy which you can find here.

As for me?  Well, now that the season is over and the BCS pairings have been formally announced, I found it high time to air this season's final, final, stirring edition of Hot Tub, Hot Seat.  And man, was the Hot Tub HOT this year.

Read on.

Mmmmm, just like momma made!

Welcome back Coug fans! I take it you all enjoyed your little trip over the moon with the announcement of Mike Leach as the Cougs new coach. Hell, even the Cougar basketball team seemed re-invigorated by the news and put a hurtin’ on Eastern under their glorious new center-hung scoreboard at Beasley. It has been one of the craziest weeks ever in the history of Cougardom and there is almost too much to talk about in a single post, so I am just going to cram it all in to a mess I like to call… Monday Goulash.

Well, that didn't take long.  Your standard issue WSU flags now have a new friend, as you can see from today's Gameday screen grabs via Will Walker!

Best of all, a little Youtube clip to go with it.  Desmond Howard does have a question about Leach's offense in the Pullman late fall weather, but it's usually not a problem until mid-late November anyway.  But cool to see the Gameday crew acknowledge the new flag:

HOIST THE COLORS, SWING YOUR SWORD, etc!  But best of all?  Enjoy this moment, for the honeymoon with Leach is truly on.  GO COUGS!

Hello Cougar Nation! Hope you've had a great week.

As for me, well, its been a tough one. As you all know, while I was not exactly a great fan of our former defensive coordinator (but I'd love for Ball to stay on as coach of the secondary), I was a HUGE fan and supporter of Paul Wulff. So, to see him go right when he was on the cusp of breaking out of the losing, well, it was a bit hard to take.

That said, color me excited about our new hire Mike Leach. So click on the old jumpa-vegas to check out the topic of this week's "Getaway" column...

Happy Thursday Coug Fans!

And indeed, a happy 24 hours it has been.  Because as Texas Tech is about to find out the hard way, one man's treasure is another man's plunder.  Yesterday, Bill Moos made probably the biggest splash in the history of Cougar athletics by agreeing to terms with one of the most quirky, colorful, and brilliant minds in all of sports: Mike Leach.

Judging from the reaction from the online world, WSU just made a jump to national relevancy by stepping up to the plate and making the swashbuckling swordsman from Wyoming the third highest paid coach in the Pac-12.  When's the last time you saw WSU mentioned in a breaking news update on ESPN?
