LegalEagle 22 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Here's an article by a Cougar senior. They are taking things seriously it seems. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/545162.html Mkristo Bruce's Diary: Week Four MKRISTO BRUCE By: MKRISTO BRUCE WSU Defensive End Date: Jul 7, 2006 PULLMAN -- Hello Cougfans! It’s your man Mkristo Bruce back with some more inside information on your Washington State Cougars! I hope that all of you had a wonderful Independence Day. I was fired up by the Fourth of July fireworks celebrations but I got even more fired up when I ran back into the locker room after getting back to the Palouse. I recently returned from a great weekend with my family over in the Seattle area, and I hope all of you also enjoyed your holiday. And if you didn’t, I had enough fun for all of you! My son, Lil' Mkristo, was doing back flips in the yard. And my younger brother Mtume lit fireworks for the whole family. Mtume thought he was a pyrotechnician, and who am I to stop a kid with fireworks? Football and fireworks, they're a young man's dream. But the time came for all of us to say goodbye to our families and then get ready to head back to the place that makes so much sense. The summer is half way over now, and there is work that still remains to be done. And when we got back, we literally never skipped a beat. After the four and a half hour drive back to Pullman, I made it just in time to hit the locker room, throw on my cleats and hit the field running. And when I ran into the locker room it was great to see the whole team there, dressed and ready to WORK! So that’s exactly what we did. It's crazy to see how committed the team is. These guys are away from their families 90 percent of the year, and to be able to see them even for a couple of days is priceless. But, to beat a team like Auburn, we have to make sure we are together working. So Cougfans, I am here to let you know that the team is working -- you can sleep easy at night knowing that we are all working hard and we are working as ONE. Not two or three, but ONE. We're doing it for everybody that bleeds crimson and gray. We're doing it for all of you who root for and support the Washington State Cougars. We're doing it because this is the COUGAR NATION OF DOMINATION!! If you have any questions for me, post them on the Cougfan.com message boards and I’ll do my best to answer as many as I can get to. Until the next time! MK Mkristo Bruce a WSU senior who tied for the league lead in tackles-for-loss and was also one of the Pac-10's sack leaders in 2005, will be an All-America candidate in 2006. The one-time quarterback from Renton's Liberty High has started 22 consecutive games for the Cougars and is on the 2006 watch list for the Nagurski Trophy, awarded to the best defensive player in college football. Along with WSU senior offensive tackle Charles Harris, and, previously, backup QB Cole Morgan, he graciously volunteered this summer to give CF.C readers a window on the world of pre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auwallace 6 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 lame, what kind of update is that? Some guy talking about his kids and fireworks, awesome, when we play them we should just dangle bright and shiny things in front of them and maybe they'll pee their pants with excitement.

quietfan 233 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 We're doing it for everybody that bleeds crimson... So I guess we'll need to start and end the season kicking some crimson butt...I don't have the concern that many do about us coming out flat or unprepared to begin the season. Coach Yoxall has been wearing his Capital One Bowl pass and "reminding" our guys what coming out unprepared means. And I think all the players have vivid memories of Ga Tech last year. Sure, CTT has developed something of a reputation for starting slow in the first game of the season, but I think that might be about to change. Sometimes it takes CTT a little while to fix problems, but he generally does. The "Nallsminger" OC experiment taught him that personal friendship has to take a back seat to talent when hiring assistants, and he responded by hiring people like CAB and CWM. He once battled a supposed "Arkansas jinx", which he has put to rest with three straight victories over the Hogs. I think/hope this might be the year he puts his "poor first game" reputation to rest.
