We're about two thirds of the way through Kirby Moore's first set of spring football practices, and while there isn't a lot of video out there for us to judge with our own eyes, there are plenty of first-hand reports thanks to increased media access this year.

It doesn't seem like the offense has been lighting it up. But that's ok, we think? We also talk about running back Kirby Vorhees' eye-popping statement: "It's the best defense I've been a part of."

Then, we move on to David Riley's remake of the basketball team after almost the entire roster hit the portal. There's one new guy in particular who we're damn excited about: Division 2 transfer Lazerek Houston. We also take a brief look at the other four players who have committed and try to draw some conclusions about how Riley is trying to rebuild in a program that doesn't have a ton of resources.

Plus (of course) beer talk.

The first weekend of the NCAA Tournament is in the books, and there weren't all that many upsets -- the Sweet 16 is looking pretty chalky. Sure, Texas is an 11 seed, but ... it's Texas, probably the most resource rich athletics department in the country. In fact, every member of the Sweet 16 comes from the top 5 conferences (football's Power 4 + Big East).

It made for a bit of a boring first couple of rounds, but with the best teams in the country now lined up, the Sweet 16 and beyond should be fantastic.

Why did it happen that way? And what does all this separation of the top teams mean for WSU?

After discussing that, we took a brief glimpse at spring football, which starts on Thursday for the Cougs under new coach Kirby Moore.

Plus, beer talk and a brief look at the baseball team.

The basketball seasons are finally over, and we learned this week that David Riley will be back for at least one more year as head coach of the men's basketball team.

Needless to say, based on the show title ... we're not thrilled. There are a lot of reasons to believe things aren't likely to get better under Riley going forward, and the idea that he just doesn't have enough resources is honestly insulting. Resources aren't why the team blew so many games.

We break down all the reasons why Riley shouldn't be coaching the team next year before evaluating what his return probably means going forward.

Plus, beer talk and a brief look at women's basketball's performance in the WCC tournament, where they advanced farther than the men -- despite starting the tournament a whole round earlier.
