Jack Thompson era Coug here: Great interview, one of the best I’ve seen!

[johncgr]

WSU needs to offer this man a contract extension…..now. Most articulate coach we’ve had in many years and he just gets it.

[mattjewett]

My son is a sophomore there now. The community over there is SOO WHOLESOME! I'm glad he (we) get to be a part of it.

[larryfetter]

I am finally a Jake Dikert believer! Love you brother! Go Cougs!!!

[martinbrotnov]

The more I hear Coach J Dickert interviews the more I believe he is the best coach for WSU at this time!

to Pullman for the first time at night..(no night flights in those days.)...that's how I did it, never having been there before; checking into the Perham dorm and then walking to Pullman Playfield the same night to see how the KWSU TV crew worked brodcasting Pullman HS games, because I came to WSU to get some experience in what the Murrow school offered. And then having WSU and Pullman and Murrow become home for 2 yrs.

Recruiting to Pullman, Washington. Go Cougs!

[legoforbeginners]

I had other options for college. I chose WSU because Pullman is special. Not every coach can succeed in a program that most players aren't willing to come to and most people quite frankly don't respect. I hope we can keep him for at least a couple more years, but I'm not sure if we can.

[Locked-on-Cougs]

Keys to Pullman are - citizen safety, new airport that makes it much easier to travel out of here, with Moscow included most stores or restaurants that you are used to, NO Traffic ( you don’t lose hours of your life in your car here ) and a new and improved downtown ready at end of November 2024.

Safety is the #1. No carjackings, no people going nuts on major freeways, very little gun play…etc.
If I had a kid that was a good athlete and wanted to have a good, safe college experience, I would send them to WSU.

[timmellin]

Yep...WSU takes kids under the radar, unrecruited, and turns them into something good. Same thing w/ Luke Falk and Gardner don't forget to mention the other college's overlooked guys at all the other positions who come to WSU and really improve and turn into fine players.

[geoffreybowen]

Coach, is getting better, Cam almost took him down.

Production critical cap time: Brock and Salk: it's viserally pleasing to you to get on top of the microphone, but it's not visually pleasing to your audience. Put some space between the top of the micr. and your mouth. Microphone "rule of chin" = the top of the micr. should never cross over into the chin area....should always be underneath the chin, able to show the whole lower jaw area.
