It took a while, but the new-look Pac-12 finally released its football schedules for the upcoming 2026 season. While we already knew WSU's first four games -- every September contest is out of conference and has been set for a while -- the rest of the schedule finally came into focus.

Let's break it down.

After that, we checked in on men's hoops following their no-show at Gonzaga, which resulted in a 30-point loss at The Kennel. The defense continues to be atrocious, undermining all the gains made on the offensive end.

Plus: What we're drinking, and some thoughts on women's basketball, which continues to struggle even more than the men.

WSU men's basketball has been on the upswing for a couple of weeks, and a relatively narrow loss to Saint Mary's on Saturday supports the idea that the team has made real progress. But now the Cougs face their biggest test of the season: A home game against Gonzaga on Thursday.

What will it take to beat the Bulldogs, who are a top 10 team? They're very good at a lot of things, but not everything. We go over the formula for a WSU upset.

After that, we revisited the work that football is doing this offseason under new coach Kirby Moore. Of note in the last week: Getting a commit from Washington state 4A high school player of the year Lance McGee, who flipped from Oregon State.

Plus: What we're drinking, and some thoughts on Alex Covill's return to women's hoops!

Out of the depths of despair comes great joy: The Cougars have a new coach, Kirby Moore, and he's doing serious work already. A lot of the roster is staying -- especially on the offensive side -- and he's adding reinforcements already, including a QB from UC-Davis that lit up FCS and a former 4-star burner on the outside from Florida.

As if the vibes weren't already good enough, another piece of delightful news dropped just before we recorded: Washington is losing its quarterback to the portal. Very sad!

After that, we talked men's basketball, which is also trending upward after seeming to figure some things out offensively. Women's basketball, unfortunately, is not trending that direction.
