FALLEN TREES

Stanford guard Anthony Goods, left, forward Brook Lopez, and guard Mitch Johnson look on as the final seconds tick down in the second half on Thursday, Feb. 8, 2007, in a college basketball game against Washington State in Pullman, Wash. Washington State won the game, 45-58.

This photo looks awfully familiar to me... where have I seen it before? Oh yeah, here. Honestly, the sight of dejected opponent benches in Pullman is becoming quite commonplace.

Loved this little bit of the AP story reporting on the Cougar victory:

Indeed, players were asked if it was too early to dream about the first Pac-10 title in the program's history, especially for a team that was forecast to finish last.

"I think about it every night," Clark said. "It's a very realistic goal for us."

Damn straight. Shock the world Cougs.
