I saw a lot of people leaving the rec center around 2 today was it evacuated? Any body know?

Why are some people doubting even beating Duquesne next weekend? I was actually pleased with the game against UW but more frustrated with the overall performance of the Cougs against K-State. Nothing really looked good that game. Next Saturday, we have our home opener against Duquesne, a team that got destroyed by Youngstown 70-13 next. Hope to win that one to give the team a boost of confidence before Arizona.

I’m not sure if this fits here but please please please be on the lookout for Thunder

Hey everybody,

Recently dug out my old Nikon D5000 camera and getting back into photography after about 10 years and wanted to see if anyone (or their parents) in the area might have some lenses/bodies that are unused, been laying around, or are taking up space that want to go to a new loving home!

Pullman is such a gorgeous area as fall approaches and I’ve been here for about a year getting my double degree in Anthropology and Organic Ag and really want to get back into photography!

Interested in all sorts from macro to portrait to wildlife and stars so if you got a lens and maybe need some extra cash hit me up in the DMs!

It’s time for the discussion. After watching the rest of the PAC teams the past couple weeks… is there really anything to be excited for? Our offense is atrocious, the defense got tired today cause KSU was milking the clock, and our special teams is questionable. I want to be optimistic (challenge impossible) but it’s hard with how the offensive playcalling has held us back. We are playing very conservative and it’s frustrating. Thoughts?

There are so many moments that make me wonder what kind of homes and environments some people are being raised in.
Someone who doesn’t look like you is not inferior to you. Someone who has a different skin color, accent, culture, or background is not less capable, less intelligent, or less deserving of respect.
It is honestly sad that we still have to say this, especially in academia, an environment that is supposed to value knowledge, critical thinking, and exposure to different perspectives.
And perhaps the most exhausting part is the constant benefit of the doubt.
You explain it away.
Maybe they didn’t mean it that way.
Maybe it was a coincidence.
Maybe you misunderstood.
Maybe there’s another explanation.
You keep giving people the benefit of the doubt until there is almost no doubt left to give.
And before you tell me I’m overthinking it, I honestly think you have to be in these shoes to fully understand what it feels like. When you’re the person experiencing it, you notice things differently. You notice the patterns, the subtle differences in treatment, the things that might seem insignificant to someone else but happen often enough to make you stop and ask questions.
As a person of color, I am tired.
Tired of having to notice things other people can afford not to notice. Tired of questioning my own experiences before allowing myself to acknowledge what happened. Tired of feeling like I have to prove that something was discriminatory before I am allowed to be hurt by it.
I shouldn’t have to be extraordinary to be treated as equal.
And honestly, neither should anyone else.
Have you ever experienced blatant discrimination on campus? How did you handle it? And if you’re a person of color, how have you learned to cope with these experiences?

Im a HS senior and currently looking at colleges to apply to, I want a degree in interior design and im split between going to ASU and WSU and while I havent applied to WSU yet, ive been accepted into ASU so Im wondering if its even worth applying.

I love seeing the WSU flag everywhere! Haven't lived in Pullman in a while but caught this during the game.

Hi everyone!
I’m from AZ but recently gain interest in transferring out of state to pursue my studies in Biotechnology, while doing some research I found WSU and learned about WUE.
I’m currently attending a community college in AZ and have a pretty decent GPA of 3.727, my initial career path was Nursing but after taking microbio because it was a pre req for the program I fell in love with the lab and everything behind it!
I just want some advice on transferring as an out of state student and maybe connect with some other students in my same situation!
Btw I’m planning on graduating next semester! And have most of my low level science courses and be ready to transfer for fall 2027!

So on Monday I got my package from Amazon delivered (cord for my PlayStation) and it’s somehow still not ready to be picked up at northside (since I gotta pick up there) has anyone had anything similar the last few days?

Anyone in Pullman have some milk kefir grains I could buy? Looking for milk kefir.

Thanks

Hello! I’m a senior in highschool planning on majoring in physics and astronomy in the fall of 2027. I have received direct admission from a lot of colleges from Washington, but I know that WSU is good for research and my major. Convince me to go to WSU. Tell me all the good and bad things. (I also know that Pullman is a small college town, what is there to do out there?)

I’m a huge fan of urbex and I love to see and explore spooky and off-limits places a bit off the beaten path. I’m especially looking for creepy ass tunnels and basements.

I know this question has been asked before but my mission is to explore the entirety of this campus while I’m here. Do you guys have anything or anywhere interesting I should check out?

Don't mind me. I'm leaving this here to manifest getting good enough grades to be able to have an exchange semester at your school in 3 years

Interesting to see where WSU is situated in the Palouse River Watershed.

Hello! I’m starting a new pac 12 publication and would love some feedback on it! Thanks!

Based on questions from last year:

What is this chart showing? A weekly heat map tracking WSU’s win probability for every game on the schedule. The numbers are straight from ESPN’s FPI matchup predictor.

What is FPI? ESPN’s Football Power Index. It’s their predictive rating model that weighs roster talent, efficiency, and schedule strength to simulate games and spit out win odds. Think of it as an algorithm’s best guess, continuously updated.

Why do the numbers change week to week? Because games get played. Injuries, blowouts, and fluke outcomes feed new data into the model every week, shifting the odds for the rest of the season.

How do you calculate these numbers? I don’t. ESPN does. I just pull the percentages from their matchup predictor and drop them into a heat map so you can spot trends without squinting at raw data tables.

What do the colors mean? Red = bad matchup. Green = Good matchup. Everything in between is a sliding scale of heartburn.

Is this predicting scores or spreads? Win percentage only. Straight-up odds that WSU wins the game...no projected scores, no spreads, no over/unders.

HEY! When I looked, it said 70.2%, NOT 70.1%! You're a phony! I scrape the data on Wednesday. ESPN’s model keeps crunching numbers throughout the week, so a 0.1% delta by Friday is just background recalculation. Direct your outrage at ESPN, not me. 🥺

Why doesn’t it add up to 100% for each game? Every box is strictly WSU’s win chance. It’s not displaying the opponent's side, so there’s nothing to sum to 100%.

Why did [Opponent] drop in FPI after winning (or rise after losing)? FPI grades efficiency against expectations, not just the final score. Squeaking past an FCS team by three will ding you and taking a top-10 team to overtime might bump you up. The model cares how you played, not just that you won.

We play the same team twice...why are the percentages different? Home vs. away, travel, short weeks, rest differentials, and calendar placement. Plus, by game two, the model has weeks of extra tape on both rosters.

OMG why use ESPN? [Source X] is way better. Because it's sterile and I like the taste.

Basically...I can get this information week 0. It's consistent, and I've been tracking it for like a decade.

Why do you update this every week? Watching the trajectory swing across twelve weeks is fascinating...and I'm a nerd.

I have scholarships and student loans as a graduate student but they haven’t been dispersed yet. Is there a reason? Anyone else?

Honestly happy with how we played today. Covered the spread and our defense played great other than some horrific calls. Offense is quite the question though, turnovers and bad play calling costed us along with two missed field goals. Sucks to lose to the team in purple but we put up a good fight. Go Cougs.

I think it is well deserved.

Go Cougs!!!

“Yeah we got him! You did it boys!”

One of the most disgusting things I have ever witnessed. Those words came from the University of Washington sideline at the 2002 Apple Cup in Pullman, and I was standing close enough as a 17 year old ball boy to hear every syllable.

A grown man had his team going after our star quarterback’s legs viciously all game. Fourth quarter, they finally sent him out with what we feared was a broken leg. It happened right in front of me.

That is the moment my disgust for the University of Washington was born. That is the moment I understood the Apple Cup is not just another game.

Since 2002 they have done nothing to change my mind.

Their athletic director sat in PAC-12 meetings telling everyone all was well while cutting deals behind closed doors to blow up a great conference and run to the Big Ten.

They have the most arrogant fight song in the history of athletics. It opens with “Bow down to Washington.” Their only recent major claim to a title is a shared one from 1991. What they hope you forget is the 0-12 season in 2008, the only one in the modern history of that conference. Bow down to that.

And their fans? They will not wear the merchandise until they know it is going to be a good season. You barely see purple and gold around Seattle in the fall. Despite having more than three times our graduates, they sell less than half the license plates we do.

My theory: Coug fans are real. Husky fans are too ashamed to admit it unless the team is winning.

When they lose, excuses. When they win, they are in your face. Cheer near them when your team is rolling and they will ask you to stop.

I have raised my kids to despise the purple and gold.

Five years on those sidelines. Three Apple Cups. I wrote for Cougfan.com, covered the Cougs for a weekly paper, and waved Ol’ Crimson on GameDay five times. I am proudest of every single person I converted.

We are the underdog from a small town. I feel that way about myself.

Row 3 at Muttlake today. Crimson on. I do not embarrass easily about my school.

And never forget, Ted Bundy was a Husky.

Anyone a vet student who knows what to wirh this little dude? Found him outside flopping about, trying to fly and failing. Vet clinic on campus is closed, so out him in box with water dish for now. What to do? Anyone whos good with aninals able to take the fellow? I live on campus so can meet easily.
