Some Help From the Worldwide Leader

From the Spokesman-Review Sportslink:

According to athletic director Jim Sterk, the Cougars are still looking for an opponent in Seattle on Aug. 30, after an agreement with the University of Utah was cancelled by mutual agreement.

Sterk said ESPN is helping to arrange a new opponent and the game would be televised nationally. The other two non-conference games are road trips to Baylor and Hawaii.


Good news for the Cougs (if you like the Seattle game), as a decent opponent for the Seattle game needs to arrive soon to keep the yearly event alive. Unfortunately, part of the agreement is that ESPN will air a 5 minute segment during the game where Adam Sandler and that fat guy from the King of Queens debate "Who's more NOW?: Michael Bumpus or Brandon Gibson?". Also, Buster Olney will report from the sidelines about how the 2008 Yankees will be the best team ever in the history of sports.

But I digress. Added to the 2008 schedule is Nike Portland State. Go ahead, cower in fear of the Big Sky conference and the color black!
