Sparse Weekend Sports Picks | Spokane News

This weekend’s sports scene is low-key but packed with local flavor: NFL preseason is a snoozefest, college football kicks off with under-the-radar matchups, MLB’s August showdowns aren’t quite make-or-break yet, and big tennis/golf events feel less electric. For Spokane fans, the real drama’s tonight — Mariners in Toronto chasing wild-card fate, Idaho opens against Cal Poly without any preseason prep, and if you’re not into that, catch North Carolina vs. TCU in Dublin or the U.S. Open kickoff in NYC. Plus, Gonzaga’s transfer shuffle, EWU’s defensive hopes, and a local bare-knuckle fighter gearing up for a big fight. One TV might be all you need — or maybe just your pillow.
