Remember that whole Arizona State signal-stealing controversy a year ago? Washington State coach Mike Leach certainly does.For about three weeks last season, ASU coach Todd Graham came under fire amid accusations of stealing signs. Its a legal practice, and several Pac-12 coaches actually came to Grahams defense, either praising the practice or saying its on each coach to protect his signals.Leach, however, said the Pac-12 should launch an investigation. A year later, its still a legal practice, and there was no investigation. But as Leachs Cougars (4-2, 3-0) prepare to travel to Arizona State (5-2, 2-2) on Saturday, Leach continues to go after the ASU coaching staff.I think they still steal signs, and well have to keep an eye on that, Leach said during his Monday meeting with the media. That is a very unsavory practice they have, so well have to do what we can to defend against it.When the accusations were flung last season -- remember Oregon protecting signals with giant white sheets? -- Graham defended the practice, saying: Do we steal signals? Yeah, we do. Do people steal our signals? Yeah, they do. Its our responsibility to make sure our signals are safe.Last years controversy was prompted when Utah players first made the accusations against Arizona State, followed by similar intimations from Oregon coaches. Its worth noting this is the first time this season that ASU has been accused of stealing signs.Leach took it to a new level on Monday, though, saying he has heard rumors of microphones and cameras.They have a whole command center, he said.For what its worth, Leach & Co. got the better of the Sun Devils last season, winning 38-24. And he even did a bit of trolling after the game. Asked what the difference was in the second half, when the Cougars outscored the Sun Devils 28-10, Leach said: The first half we stole a bunch of their signals and that helped us a bunch in the second half.Leach did not stop at taking issue with Arizona State. He also took a shot at UCLA and its apparent shouting over Washington State quarterback Luke Falks calls at the line during the Cougars 27-21 win Saturday night.They yelled our cadence the whole game, but how I addressed it will remain between me and who I addressed it with, Leach said, as quoted on Twitter by 710 ESPN Seattle.WSU wide receiver Gabe Marks was also sharply critical of UCLA for warming up on the Cougars side of the Martin Stadium field before Saturdays game.They kind of come off as bad guys when they do things like that, Marks said. I dont know if they do that to everybody, but its just kind of, like, its kind of douchey. Is that OK to say? Dont cut that.Marks said the Cougars players felt disrespected by the Bruins apparent attempt to throw them off their game by warming up on WSUs side of the field for the second straight season.It makes you look like youre trying to be tough because everyone thinks because you live in Westwood and you wear baby blue that youre not tough, he said. It makes you look less tough because youre trying too hard. Its just weird. You dont have to do that. Cheap Adidas Senators Jerseys .Y. -- Sabres defenceman Tyler Myers had no intention of changing his hard-hitting style before taking part in a disciplinary hearing for his illegal check to New Jersey forward Dainius Zubrus head. Cheap Senators Jerseys . At a news conference Tuesday where it was thought that the fiery Schallibaum may be shown the door after a dismal finish to the Major League Soccer season, team president Joey Saputo said no decision has been made on whether the Swiss Volcano will be back in 2014. http://www.cheapsenatorsjerseys.com/ . LOUIS -- Valtteri Filppula assisted on three of Tampa Bays four goals, and the Lightning beat the St. Cheap Ottawa Senators Jerseys . Calgary scored on the first shift, and Michael Cammalleri scored twice as the Flames cruised to a 5-2 win over the Washington Capitals on Saturday. Cheap Senators Jerseys Authentic . -- Devin Hester is done returning kicks in Chicago. SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Andrew White says its way too early to call himself an X factor for No. 18 Syracuse. The fifth-year transfer from Nebraska may just be the difference maker, however, for a team that looks like it may be one of the nations elite.White, who shot 41 percent from 3-point range a year ago, signed with the Orange the day before fall classes started. He gives the Orange a dimension they appeared to be lacking entering the season.I definitely think hes a difference maker, said fellow fifth-year transfer John Gillon. The way he spreads the floor and how quick his release is theres really not five people who can shoot like that in the nation.White scored 19 points, Tyler Lydon had 17, and Syracuse went on a 14-0 run in the first half to take control and overpower Holy Cross 90-46 on Tuesday night.Syracuse (2-0) shot 58 percent from the field and was 13 for 25 on 3-pointers. White went 5 of 10 from beyond the arc after going 2 of 7 in the Oranges season opener against Colgate.Hes a huge piece of this team, Lydon said. He can do a lot of great things on the court. Adding him was huge for us. Anytime you have a guy who can space the floor like thats huge.White, a modest sort, preferred to let his teammates do the talking.Id rather that question be answered by my teammates, White said. Theyre the ones evaluating what my value is. I just try to come in and take care of business, take pressure off my teammates. I think thats what Ill do most.And just two games into the season, White says talk of his importance is a tad premature.I think were all critical. I think were all X factors. As far as me being the X factor I think its a little early now to be saying that. Im just trying to come in and do my job.And his job is knocking down 3s, a skill in which he has supreme confidence.My motto is if a shoot a shot its supposed to go in, he added. Thats why I dont get too excited when I hit a three or celebrate too much. My coaches and teammates expect the shot to go in when I attempt it.Coach Jim Boeheim praised White.He was geared up tonight. He was ready to go. He was focused in, Boeheim said. Hees a shooter.dddddddddddd Obviously thats what he does. Were happy we have him here.Tyus Battle was 3 of 5 from long range, while Gillon made two while adding 15 points, nine assists and just one turnover off the bench.Anthony Thompson had 12 points, while Robert Champion and Malachi Alexander had eight apiece for the Crusaders (0-2). The Crusaders shot just 31 percent for the game.Asked what he would take away from the game, Holy Cross coach Bill Carmody had a succinct response: Nothing.Besides their 3-point attack, the Orange tallied 18 second-chance points, had 32 inside the paint, and scored 31 points off Holy Cross turnovers. The Orange outrebounded the smaller Crusaders 39-27. At one point in the first half, Syracuse had a 16-3 advantage on the boards.The Orange led 22-14 when they went on their 14-0 blitz to take control. The run featured four 3-pointers, two by White and one each by Frank Howard and Battle. Syracuse led 49-23 at the half.BIG PICTURE:Holy Cross: Its not fair to judge Holy Crosss outlook for the 2016-17 season based on Tuesdays outcome, but we may know more after Fridays matchup against UMass.Syracuse: This is one of Jim Boeheims best offensive teams in years. The Orange can beat teams inside and out.POLL IMPLICATIONS: With the nations top teams playing each other this week, the Orange could find themselves moving up in the rankings.SOPHOMORE SLUMP OVER: Tyler Lydon was 0-for-8 from beyond the arc in Syracuses two exhibition games and 0-for-3 in the season opener but he was 2-of-3 Tuesday.MICROWAVE: Gilllon is proving to be quite the spark off the bench for Boeheim. The transfer from Colorado State now has 28 points, 15 assists and just one turnover in two games.NO TREY, NO WAY: Holy Cross was just of 9-of-32 from 3 for 28 percent.UP NEXT:Holy Cross tries for its first win of the young season when the Crusaders host UMass on Sunday.Syracuse, a bubble team that made last years NCAA Tournament, hosts Monmouth, a bubble team that did not, Friday.
