Cougars A.M. Links: Washington State News 4/8

Welcome to a new week Coug fans! Now just under two full weeks away from the Spring game and then the NFL Draft the following weekend, we’ll be busy. Oh yeah and the National Championship game tonight should be a classic, my favorite Louisville is still there, even though nobody else seemed to make it as far as I thought they would. But that’s not till later, so for now let’s crash the weekend with the top Cougar links from Saturday and Sunday.

Spring is a time to feel things out and get some of the younger players valuable reps and experience. But it always comes at a cost."
