Notes From All Over

The Everett Herald had a descent piece on QB, Marshall Lobbestael and how he has begun his road to recovery. If all goes well he will be battling for a starting QB spot next season with Kevin Lopina.

Vince Grippi kind of covers everything Cougs with a quick note on Taylor Rochestie's injury, the offensive and defensive lineman, and how WSU should be worried about Stanford's rushing attack.

Also, the Pac-10 Hoop predictions are out from Pac-10 media day. Here are the results of the official media poll with first-place votes and total points:

1, UCLA (37), 379.
2, Arizona State (1), 325.
3, USC, 292.
4, Arizona, 241.
5, Washington, 217.
6, Washington State, 188.
7, Oregon, 147.
8, Cal, 143.
9, Stanford, 115.
10, Oregon State, 40.

I'm not sure with all the turmoil going on at Arizona that they will finish 4th this year. However, the Pac-10 is down, so after UCLA, spots 2-7 may be up for grabs. Arizona State needs to prove they can win a big game while USC is trying to prove that they were more than O.J. Mayo last season. Anything but a top five finish for UW would be a huge disappointment considering the returning players they have. Should be another exciting season of Pac-10 Basketball.

Back tomorrow with Make Some Money, which is close to $200.00 after another win last week and the Weekend Picks. Happy Halloween.
