Battle for the palouse

Vandal Football, with an 0-3 record, is off to its worst start since 1978 ­ a year in which the Vandals failed to post a victory until the sixth week of the season. "We're creating our own demise," Head Coach Tom Cable. "We're our own issue." The Vandals are hoping to resolve these issues on Saturday when they attempt their second straight victory over Washington State University in the "Battle of the Palouse." continue

Vandals drop home opener to WSU

The University of Idaho volleyball team (7-2) had enjoyed much success on the road, but that wasn't the case in its home opener. The Vandals dropped a tough 15-13, 15-7, 13-15, 15-7 match to Washington State (9-2) in their first contest in the friendly confines of Memorial Gym. continue

Eastern Eagles grounded by Vandals

The women's soccer team rolled over the Eastern Washington Eagles 3-0 at Guy Wicks Field.
The temperature dipped below fifty degrees, but the cold fall weather didn't slow down the Vandals. "We played well enough," said assistant coach Steve Crum. "We finished our scoring chances better than we did last Sunday." continue

Jenny Neville eats humble pie for nearly every meal.

Olympian sees end of solo career

Jenny Thompson is the archetype swimmer, eyes the color of lapis, hair an ashy chemical blond and torso as big as a larch tree. But the voice is too small for her, soft and whispery without a hint of larynx, and she lacks the typical self-assertion of a gold medalist. continue
