Labor Day has come and gone. Your kids (if you own kids, that is) are in school. Your neighbor has removed his boat from his front lawn.

Eastern Washington at Washington State

Noon, Saturday

Pac-12 Network

What was originally planned to be an easy victory to christen the newly renovated Martin Stadium, is going to be a little more than that for Mike Leach and his gang of pirate Cougars.

It’s a long shot, but don’t expect this game to turn into a blowout.

Washington at #3 LSU

Yikes. Currently, the Huskies are slated to play three top-five teams over the course of the next five weeks. First up, #3 LSU down in Baton Rouge. Again, Yikes.

After beating St. Scholastica (that’s a school in Minnesota, not a Catholic robot as you might have mistakenly assumed) last weekend, the Pirates head down to California to face Whittier. Fun fact: Richard Nixon graduated from Whittier.
