The first of two Pac-12 media days is underway in Los Angeles. The media poll has already been released -- the Cougars were picked fifth in the Pac-12 North -- Larry Scott held his state of the conference and teams have already started taking the stage for their media sessions.

Media day is one of the most exciting events of the year. I mean how could you not be on the edge of your seat with comments like this?

RichRod: "I could tell you how excited I am to be here like every other coach, but I'd be lying. I'd rather still be on vacation." — Steven Godfrey (@38Godfrey) July 23, 2014

Hopefully things pick up a bit when Mike Leach, Darryl Monroe and Connor Halliday take the stage for the Cougars. WSU media session was tentatively scheduled to start at 12:50 p.m. PT, although that may have changed. Larry Scott was initially scheduled to address the media at 11:17 a.m. but instead went much earlier. We'll see how that impacts the rest of the schedule. Either way, WSU should be on stage sometime between 12:30 and 1 p.m.
