Cougars try their hands at water polo

A few weeks ago, Washington State football players decided to take the leap and try their hands at a new sport -- water polo.

The Washington State athletic department uploaded a video to YouTube of the players getting after one another (in the shallow end) and it caught the eye of U.S. national men's water polo team captain and Stanford grad Tony Azevedo.

I love this! Imagine how much harder without a bottom? @WSUCougars @wsucougfb #respect #toughestsportinworld https://t.co/9orDrBA76s

That's high praise from one of the greatest Americans to ever play the sport, so the Pac-12 Blog decided to catch up with Azevedo to get a more in-depth analysis from the four-time Olympian.
