Mystery Disease Kills Thousands
Gay Marriage Vote Puts Heat On Christie
It ain't pretty. On ESPN's Pac-10 blog today are two links to stories about Washington State's near-historic ineptness. I noted earlier that they are 40+ point underdogs against USC this weekend -- although that may be worse for USC than the Cougars.Some numbers for you:
Washington State is allowing 55.6 points/game through four league games and faces mighty USC next. The Cougars are 116th in scoring at 15.9 points/game despite playing the No. 100, 69, 68, 66, 55 and No. 27 scoring defenses as well as lower division Portland State. Overall in conference play against the impotent Pac-10 this year they have been outscored 223-33. Among those scores was a defensive touchdown, a garbage-time score and a field goal on a drive that went for negative four yards.
This is pathetic stuff.
Worse, the Cougars are likely to get worse before they get better. They may play a walk-on fifth-string quarterback this weekend against USC if injured starter Kevin Lopina's fractured lower back isn't fully healed.
In their final six games, the Cougars must face USC, Stanford, Arizona, Arizona State, Washington and Hawaii. At least three of those teams will likely go bowling, so, except for the Washington game, a win may be hard to come by.
The Pac-10 conference marks to avoid: 47.3 points/game in conference play (set by Washington State in 1970) and 42.6 points/game overall (held by Oregon State in 1916). Right now Washington State is at 55.6 and 45.1 for those keeping track at home.
This season has certainly redefined "Cougin' it." But hey, at least they've got their flags at ESPN College GameDay every Saturday, right?
