By Josh Davis
Morning Cougs! Hump day and a solid day of Coug links, so let’s get to them!

"Enjoy a Photo Gallery of just a few of the student-athletes from the 2013 senior class. Our senior student-athletes class consists of 81 student-athletes who, combined, have an average 3.00 GPA encompassing 25 different majors. Congratulations Cougars!"

He’s already done that, spearheading efforts that saw construction completed in September on WSU’s new football press box and premium seating, as well as a large hole in the ground near Martin Stadium that will eventually turn into a new football operations building."
"Bill Moos has shepherded the transformation of a major university’s most bankable sport — its football program — once before. Now he’s hoping to achieve the same kind of lasting success as athletics director at Washington State University, his alma mater, as he did in his 12 years as athletics director at Oregon."
