In the meantime... Go Wildcats!

Update 11/1/14 1;39 pm:  According top radio commentator Carl Arky, the Wildcats are now up over the Lumberjacks by a score of  22-Zip, as the game goes into the halftime break!  Shades of things to come?  Or will our beloved Wildcate get ultimately "creamed" again?

Update 11/1/2014 3:56 p.m.:  Surprise of surprises!  WSU blows a half-time 22-0 early lead, and then "snatches defeat from the jaws of victory" and then inexplicably follows up by stumbling into an ignominious 29-22 loss.

What a bummer, yes?
