The calm, controlled manner of Coach Tony Bennett reflected his team's playing demeanor. Despite horrendous shooting in the first half, the Cougs never showed any panic. They played within themselves, not succumbing to the pressure applied by a pesky Duck defense and smart passing offense. Over 11,000 fans went home with huge smiles. But they didn’t leave until standing and cheering for several minutes in tribute to their team after the clock ran out on Oregon. Fans couldn’t have asked for more after seeing a hard fought college basketball game played under control and with tremendous intensity by both teams. On a weekend that saw a massive number of Top 25 teams go down to defeat, No. 8 Washington State played up to their national ranking. Look at what happened across the nation:No 1 North Carolina lost to unranked MarylandNo 4 UCLA lost to unranked USCNo 10 Texas A&M lost to unranked Kansas StateNo 13 Marquette lost to unranked ConnecticutNo 15 Pittsburgh lost to unranked CincinnatiNo 18 Mississippi lost to unranked AuburnNo 21 Miami lost to unranked NC StateNo 22 Arizona State lost to unranked StanfordNo 24 Clemson lost to No. 7 Duke After their win against Oregon, Washington State holds a share of first place in the PAC-10 with a 4-1 conference record and 16-1 overall Next up…the Arizona schools GO COUGS!!!.

Gilbertson, 952-215-0676Chief Financial Officer Copyright Business Wire 2009. Dear Tiki,How are things going? It’s me, your buddy Eli.It’s been a while since we talked face to face. Sure, we exchanged some barbed comments through the media back in August, but I thought it would be nice to get in touch.Still working at NBC? I hope that’s going well. I haven’t seen you on the tube because I’ve been really busy with the season and I pretty much only watch Seinfeld reruns these days. Except when I’m in Green Bay. Things are good here. I just bought some new suits, which look very sharp. I tried sushi for the first time and, as I expected, it just wasn’t for me. It’s not so much the taste that bothers me, but the texture. Kind of slimy. And all the newspapers and magazines and TV shows are going to be interviewing me. You know why? Because I’m playing in the Super Bowl! Is anyone going to interview you? Probably not. You know why? Because you’re not playing in the Super Bowl! And if we somehow manage to beat the undefeated Patriots juggernaut and win the Super Bowl, I might even get the opportunity to do as many commercials as my brother Peyton. How’s that for awesome?But even if we don’t win, it’s cool. Because now everyone knows that I am a good quarterback and that I can lead the Giants. So when next season starts, I won’t have to listen to pinheads like you question my ability. Anyway, my best to your lovely family. Your buddy,Elisha Nelson Manning.
