Happy Friday Cougs, as your old pal Victory Bell is back for some "observations" to share with you.  As usual, we at WSU Football Blog hope the week is winding down in a positive light for you, wherever you are.  And hey, if it was a rough week for you?  RAISE YOUR GLASS, because it's FRIDAY! 

Moving on....

Hello Followers.  Hope you’re having a great week. As you know, it’s been an action packed week for Cougar Football.  On Sunday, we had the announcement of Mike Breske as Defensive Coordinator for the Cougs, and then a couple of days ago, we announced that Jeff Choate of Boise State is joining Leach’s staff. 

While many in the cyber universe believe Choate will coach LB’s, Monroe’s Tweet on Sunday suggested that his position coach was from Miami (Valero), meaning that Valero would presumably be the linebacker's coach.  So, at the very least, Leach’s introduction of these guys will prove interesting...

In any case, those of you who have frequented this blog for some time know that some of the best commentary on this blog comes from, well, comments.  And nowhere is that claim more evident than when it is my turn to post….

But on Tuesday, our loyal general Stiffmeister had a comment that ruled the day.  He suggested that it was now high time to provide a name for the ballhawking defense that we hope to see on the gridiron this fall. 

So, if you want to check out my name for this year’s defense, then click on the old jumperoo. (Read on).

Good morning and Happy Hump Day, Cougs! As the all-knowing Sutra eerily predicted on Twitter last night, I do come with big news this morning. Before you get too excited, let me clarify that it isn't news about coaches or recruits or really anything pertaining to Cougar athletics. As with most Hump Days, it's all about me, folks. I'm sure you're all at the edge of your seats right now, but I wish you would step back from the ledge my friend. Don't be a "Jumper", but please do go ahead and click on the jump...

With the conclusion of the 2011 college football season last night, it's officially apropos to begin the countdown to the 2012 season and the Mike Leach Era!

Only 234 Days to go, but who's counting?!

Today, I am not here to bore you with a recap of last night's slug fest down on the Bayou, but rather, turn the page and look ahead to all the changes and the sure-to-be wild finish in this recruiting cycle.

If you are ready for more, to steal a page from Huddy because he's pissed me off and not used this one yet, WSU Football Blog readers, jump, jump on it!

Nanook of the Wasatch: Braving Cougar away games, so you don't have to.

If any of you follow me on twitter (@longballj) and I can’t really recommend that you do, you probably know that Amieable and I were in attendance for last Thursday’s basketball debacle against the Utes. For some rage and humiliation tinted thoughts on our Men’s hoops team, as well as other musings on such topics as the basketball experience offered by the Huntsman arena, our new defensive coordinator and the abundance of national headline making heroism on the very road we live on… read on!
