PODCAST: Expanding our empire (Episode 223)

Washington State beat the crap out of Texas Tech on Saturday in Pullman, has the Apple Cup coming up against the Washington Huskies on Saturday ... and those things aren’t even close to the biggest news of the week for the Cougars.

Such was the titanic announcement on Thursday that WSU and Oregon State were choosing to rebuild the Pac-12 by inviting four teams from the Mountain West: Boise State, San Diego State, Fresno State, and Colorado State.

So, before we get to the TTU beatdown and Apple Cup predictions -- which we do get to, eventually! -- let's try to figure out what this new conference means for WSU's future, both short and long term. Because this is massive.

Topics of discussion

• Pac-12 expansion: We’re excited, actually.

• TTU domination: So cool to beat a team physically like that. Should we be worried about John Mateer as a thrower? (Yes.)

• Beer: Jeff — Imperialis (Avery); Craig — Bomb Atomically (Monkish).

• Apple Cup: We don’t know much about the Huskies. We like it that way. And the vibes are immaculate leading into the game.

• Volleyball, soccer: Quick catch up!
