    Someone posted that KSN would have the entire presser on their website when they publish their report.

    • Even though it's harder to see games in-person with two young kids, I'm committed to attending some games next season.

        Glad KP was there. Didn't see Pierre or Walton I don't think (doesn't necessarily mean anything. Classes in session....etc)

        • Overall, pretty good and inspiring.

          Muma's talk about growing up in Houston was pretty good, and I think creates an important, early bond. I imagine their relationship will be pretty good.

          I thought Saal was the star. He was demanding in his tone. He made very clear what his, and the universities expectations are. I think he said all the right things to get the fan base excited for their coaching decision. He highlighted the importance of the program and it's tradition, while also giving Mills a ton of praise and explaining why he thinks Mills fits the mold.

          Mills was good. His answers to the questions were more impressive than his pre-prepared speech was. He made me feel very comfortable in his hiring. A lot of talk about winning, but also creating relationships with the community. I thought his answer about talent vs. team was pretty good, and something that I think we've been missing at WSU since the Ron/Fred era.

          Pretty sure I saw Pohto with the team. Not sure if that means he's staying, or milling it over. I couldn't tell from the stream who else was there. Mills' comment about a player saying "they're ready to get back to winning" was a big moment for me.

          I wish there was more time for the media to ask questions, or more questions asked from Kennedy. I thought I had overheard Saal ask if he was ready to go talk to media, but couldn't tell 100%.

          Good day to be a Shocker.

            They're in a class right now - I HOPE!
            The future's so bright - I gotta wear shades.
            We like to cut down nets and get sized for championship rings.

              Yeah, I think media will get their own in the press room.

                Cause we are paying three coaches?

                          • I might be off here but I think SN has shifted quite a bit on this hire since the initial news broke. At the very least, more folks have gone from "doom and gloom" to "wait and see".

                              What years? I used to be a student in the music school. A few weeks ago I read in the paper an obituary of one of my peers, a former band member.
