It’s getting Wazzu in Pullman

First, Lopina gets demoted straight to the bench. Now, star wide receiver Jeshua Anderson is trading in his football cleats for his track spikes. Anderson was one of the bright spots on the somewhat anemic Cougars’ offense. Anderson boasted 4 receptions for 66 yards. Not Heisman material, but something Wulff could work with. The good news is, you haven’t heard or seen the last of Anderson. Anderson is no Usain Bolt, but the junior is a two time NCAA...

QB Lopina fed to the Wulff

In an attempt to win a game, Coach Paul Wulff continues to shuffle his lineup. The most recent victim was senior QB Kevin Lopina (6’3, 228 lbs.). To replace the senior QB is redshirt sophomore Marshall Lobbestael who, if you’re from the Washington area, will recall was the 2006 Class 4A Player of the Year by the associated press and Seattle Times.

A couple of weeks ago, no one in our around Norman, Oklahoma knew of QB Landry Jones. Ever since he was thrown into the spotlight upon Heisman candidate Sam Bradford going down, he has become a star and fan favorite in Norman. This fan following may not be so much from his execution on the field but rather from his ungodly chevron mustache which has reached celebrity status. His teammates poke fun at him, as TE Brody Eldridge calls him “Doc Holliday ”and Quarterback Sam Bradford jabs that “it’s not very...
