Cougars A.M. Links: Washington State News 4/2
By Josh Davis
Good amount of articles on this Tuesday morning, I’ve even gone back a week for an article that I found very interesting on Ioane Gauta. Interesting stuff on the realignment front, suggesting the Cougs might be looking for a new conference, so check that out for sure. And we’re off!
Football
Gauta ‘totally new guy’ – Spokesman Review
"Ioane Gauta arrived here last fall weighing 320 pounds. He started every football game of 2012 at 305 pounds. Now he’s a svelte 286, not far from his weight during his volleyball-playing days in high school."

WSU, Colorado lead with returning starters – Pac-12 Blog
"We already gave you a rough idea of returning starters in the Pac-12, one of the most popular — and often inaccurate — ways to measure teams for the upcoming season. But Colorado’s indefatigable SID David Plati decided to go deeper."
Basketball
George Raveling, Bob Hopkins among inductees for College Basketball Hall of Fame – Seattle Times
Ed Rush declares war on Sean Miller, fair play – CougCenter
"I’m not even shocked that a former NBA official would be stupid enough to say something that, if it came to the light of day, would call into question the integrity of a game. Humility is not considered a key character trait for those guys. What I’m shocked by is simply this: Ed Rush still has a job."
