Mullennix to Start for Cougar Football

WSU Delta Upsilon Senior Matt Mullennix '07 is back at full strength after last years knee surgery. Matt also excells in the classroom where last semester he earned better then a 3.50 GPA and will receive one of the WSU DU Jason Taitch Scholarships this year.

From WSU Athletics web site:

Up front the Cougars welcome the return of senior Matt Mullennix (6-7, 259). Mullennix, scheduled to be the starting defensive end last year, suffered a season-ending injury prior to the opener at Auburn. Mullennix's return will help fill the void left by Bruce, who led WSU with 11 sacks last season.

Enyeart Competes for Long Snapper Job

WSU Delta Upsilon Sophomore Zach Enyeart '10 is a redshirt freshmen member of the Cougar Football team.

From today's Seattle Times:

The Cougars will have a new long snapper this year for extra points and field goals because junior Pete Hill didn't return because of a chronic knee problem. The candidates to replace him are Tony Thompson, the second-year punt snapper, and Zach Enyeart, redshirt freshman offensive lineman from Skyline High outside Issaquah.

Kuester MCs LI for 2nd Year in a Row

WSU Delta Upsilon Alumni Nate Kuester '05 was the Master of Ceremonies at the annual DUIF Leadership Institute that completed yesterday in St. Louis. This is the second year in a row that Nate has been the MC. He was also last winter's WEC MC in Indianapolis.

Nate is an anchor for KTRV television in Boise, Idaho. Here is Nate's bio from the KTRV web site:

I'm excited to join the team at "FOX 12 This Morning" as an anchor providing you with weather, news and sports. I come to the Treasure Valley from up North in Lewiston, at CBS affiliate KLEW, where I worked the last few years as an anchor/reporter. I did everything from News, sports and weather just like my current role here at FOX 12. I've been working in Idaho and the Northwest for many years.

I'm originally from a little town in Oklahoma called Yukon (the home of Garth Brooks). So you might imagine I've seen some pretty extreme weather. But don't hold that against me, I was as impressed as anyone when I watched the Broncos win the best game of football I've ever seen in the Fiesta Bowl. Though I grew up in the OK state, the Northwest is home for me.

I got my start in broadcasting at the age of 15 when I experimented with radio as a DJ. That experiment turned into a career, and I haven't looked back since.

I'm a rabid Washington State University Cougar sports fan. GO COUGS! I graduated from the WSU Edward R. Murrow School of Communication. While at WAZZU I served as the Student Body Vice President and am still involved with my fraternity, Delta Upsilon at both the regional and national levels today.

I couldn't be happier to join the Treasure Valley Community and the "FOX 12 This Morning" news team.
