    BLINDSIDED: Jimmy Rogers LEAVES Washington State for Big 12, Iowa State | Early Pac 12 Success in TROUBLE?

    Jimmy Rogers has officially left Washington State after just ONE season to become the next head coach at Iowa State. Is the new Pac-12 in trouble before it even launches in 2026? In a shocking move that has sent ripples through the college football world, Jimmy Rogers has blindsided the Washington State Cougars. After leading Wazzu to a bowl-eligible 6-6 record in his debut season, Rogers is heading to Ames to replace Matt Campbell (who recently took the Penn State job). This marks the second straight season WSU has lost its head coach to a "bigger" program before a bowl game, following Jake Dickert's departure for Wake Forest last year. With the Pac-12 expansion set for July 1, 2026, many are asking: Can Washington State survive as a "farm school" for the Power Four? Chad Kebba of UpWest Sports Joins the Show to break down the Coaching Change.

The "Betrayal": Why Wazzu fans are furious after Rogers spoke of "loyalty" less than a year ago. The 2026 Factor: What this means for Boise State, San Diego State, and the future of the Pac-12.

    Oregon State Makes a Statement: JaMarcus Shephard Hired as Head Coach | FULL BREAKDOWN

    Oregon State has officially hit the reset button — and slammed GO with one of the most energizing hires in college football. JaMarcus Shephard, the former Alabama assistant and wide receiver whisperer behind stars like Rome Odunze, Jalen McMillan, David Bell, and Ryan Williams, is now the 33rd head coach of the Beavers. This episode breaks down exactly why this hire is bigger than football, why OSU chose upside over safe, and how Shephard’s leadership could reshape the entire identity of the program. Shephard didn’t just give a press conference — he delivered a masterclass in vision, authenticity, and discipline. He called out the team’s lack of discipline immediately, demanded alumni get “their butts back here,” and set a culture standard based on class, integrity, academic excellence, and community connection. He brings CEO-level leadership learned from coaching legends like Kalen DeBoer, Mike Leach, Jeff Brohm, Willie Taggart, and Bobby Petrino, and promises to surround himself with elite teachers and recruiting minds. Off the field, his story is everything Oregon State stands for: raised in poverty, riding a 20-minute bus just to get to school, strict academic expectations, and a life built on outworking everyone in the room. His middle school teacher even sent OSU an unsolicited letter calling him “one of the most amazing students I’ve ever had.” Now that kid from Fort Wayne is running a Power Five program. In this episode, we dive into: Shephard’s emotional origin story The CEO traits OSU fell in love with His impact on recruiting & transfers His bold public goal: Win the Pac-12 and a bowl with class This is a culture hire. A recruiting hire. A rebuild hire. A belief hire. Beaver Nation, let’s break it all down. #OregonState #BeaverNation #JaMarcusShephard #OSUFootball #CollegeFootball #Pac12 #CFBNews #AlabamaFootball #WashingtonFootball #CollegeSports #OSURebuild #BlueprintSportsNetwork

    Washington State MUST Address the Offense this Offseason | Second Half Adjustments Cost Jimmy Rogers ANOTHER WIN vs. JMU

    Washington State Football Stumbles in Second Half, Falls 24-20 to JMU Washington State Cougars football suffered a heartbreaking 24-20 loss to the James Madison Dukes on Saturday, squandering a halftime lead in Harrisonburg. Despite a strong start, the WSU offense sputtered late, dropping the Cougars to 5-6 on the 2025 college football season. Quarterback Zevi Eckhaus led Washington State with 171 passing yards and two total touchdowns, including a 4-yard rushing score that put the Cougs up 17-10 at the break. However, a costly pick-six and a stagnant second-half offense doomed WSU. The defense, which held firm early, surrendered two explosive plays—a 68-yard pass and a 58-yard rushing touchdown by JMU’s Wayne Knight—that ultimately sealed the game. Key Washington State vs. JMU stats highlight the struggle: the Cougs managed just 3 points in the second half. Washington State football must now regroup for a critical season finale against Oregon State to fight for bowl eligibility. Key Stats: Zevi Eckhaus (WSU): 19/31, 171 Yds, 1 TD, 1 INT Tony Freeman (WSU): 6 Rec, 81 Yds, 1 TD Final Score: JMU 24, WSU 20 Gavin Hite of UP West Sports joins the show to discuss the state of the Cougs.
