WSU Weekly Update: Bud Nameck kicks butts and takes names later

During the UCLA-WSU radio broadcast, Cougar play-by-play man Bud Nameck had a little "scuffle" with a Bruins fan. Basically the fan screamed an unflattering term towards Aron Baynes right into the crowd mic, and realizing what had happened, Nameck used his arm to push the fan away.

Now apparently the fan claimed Nameck hit him, but the was escorted from the event anyways.

If you've been a sports fan in the Inland Northwest for any length of time, chances are you've heard Bud Nameck on the air. The man is one of the most legendary broadcasters in the area. And if there's one thing you couldn't see Bud Nameck doing, it's hitting a person. There's not a nicer, more personable voice on the air than Nameck's when he's calling a game.

That being said, if that allegations are true, Nameck has officially laid more smackdown then the entire WSU football team this year. Sorry coach Wulff.

Read the full story on the Spokesman.com blog.

In basketball news, senior guard Taylor Rochestie was named Pac-10 player of the week after scoring a career high 33-points during WSU's 82-81 victory over UCLA last Saturday. No word on if he hit a UCLA fan as well.

Not exactly getting accolades WSU quarterback Marshall Lobbestael was cited for alcohol, because he's only 19 years old and police said he exhibited signs of having consumed booze. Which is right on par with the rest of Cougar fans after last season.

Oops! Two Cougar digs in one post. I'll stop. Wait until you see my post on how Nate Robinson is single-handily reviving Will Ferrell's career. There will be plenty of Husky digs there.
