Cougs can't stick with Bruins, but I don't care ... I'm a new dad!

Honestly, I could spend paragraphs breaking down how the Cougars lost to UCLA because of an inexplicable inability to finish shots inside, or because of an equally inexplicable ability to prevent the Bruins from getting layups pretty much any time they wanted.

But I'm not going to.

Because I'm a daddy.

That's right, the world got its newest little Coug last night at 7:12 p.m., when Joshua Keith Nusser came into the world, thereby significantly mitigating my annoyance at Derrick Low, Aron Baynes and Robbie Cowgill.

He is 6 pounds, zero ounces, and 19.5 inches. Mom and baby are doing great.

With the first three things on his "to do" list (eating, sleeping and pooping) taken care of, he'll be moving on to No. 4 -- learning the WSU fight song -- tonight as he cheers on his favorite team against USC.
