Interesting points HenZoneNation. EWU has been selling out their stadium so with averaging about 9k in attendance, it's not that much of a stretch to get to 15k to 16k. Traditionally they only saw large crowds with UM and MSU, but the last few years even games against Sac and Weber State have sold b...

That's just like, your opinion man... CWU runs a good program and if they show up with their head in the game and Montana overlooks them, I'd put my money on CWU.

WOW. EWU certainly isn't showing up for this game. I'm still proud of my Eagles, and can solace in the fact that we're not from Texass lol.

LOL if anything EWU should be calling themselves the Big Sky Champs. They beat Cal Poly and MSU but we'll still call ourselvs the Co-Champions...

I don't believe that EWU has EVER "choked" in the playoffs. And I don't expect it to happen THIS year, EITHER. Particularly given that their QF opponent will be App/IL St. That should be a good Eag win.... The last time they truly choke was 2004 Sam Houston. I think EWU's 2010 run got the...

Not that it matters at this point other than to prove that you had no clue, but about those "spots" on the Sagrin ranking, it looks like I was dead on :nod: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sports/sagarin/fbc12.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It looks like you a...

MSU still jumps EWU even with hth loss. How? EWU holds wins over co-conference champs MSU and CP, played a much tougher non-conference schedule than MSU, holds an FBS win, AND won the conference AB. You really think the committee will overlook all those facts? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk EWU...

EWU is still the best team in the Big Sky.

Is it me or did EWU seem to have a better fan presence at the game? From TV it sounded like there was more EWU cheering and more people on the EWU side..

Eating at Taco Hell is punishment enough...

I was very impressed with Sac State. Talented, good, size, and very physical. You've got a legit shot to beat anyone in the conference. :nod: Ditto. Some might call it an ugly win but I'd call it a close win over a great under-rated team. I guess the poll beauty pageant extends to the FCS too. Sac ...

whoops double post

EWU is the #1 team they should have a few on their roster, but their is no one in the stands to see them. http://www.goeags.com/sports/ART-PHOTOS/10atwpRedTurfFirstPractice6641.jpg?max_width=415 Probably practice footage they should have the seats filled when playoff time comes around and seeing ho...

For EWU at least, students get free admission to all sporting events except for post season. But having to pay student fees and then be charged admission to regular season events would be a total crock though.

Unfortunately for EWU narrow FBS losses seem routine... Oregon State, San Jose State, Colorado, Washington, Washington State... I hope I'm not forgetting others lol.

EWU's old nickname - The Savages.

The attendance numbers need an update... Roos averaged 105% capacity (without Montana visiting) last year and I think the demand for season tickets is just as strong as last year.

Nah, they've just got big heads. But given the success of their team it's to be expected. My only thing is I think they overvalue Montana's importance in the Big Sky. If Montana were to leave, the short term would be rough, but the long term would be better. It would allow other teams to grow, be su...

It can be done...but the economic model says someone with deep pockets is going to have to back it up if you want anything close to the "slick" ESPN-look... I think it could be done for about 150 to 200k with: - a 6 month development cycle - A few new college graduates to handle HTML/PHP/...

The way ESPN is going, they won't have any headlines unless you're in a BCS conference... ESPN is pretty much the CNN and NBC of sports. Just a big name news company with third rate "journalism."

On the pot smoking thing: I think pot ought to be legal. I don't think it's immoral or bad in and of itself. It's something people in a supposedly free country should be free to do. The prison system, alcohol companies, and paper industry would lose out on a lot of money by legalizing weed, thus th...

I doubt that there are more students per capita in Madison than there are in Missoula. Madison? If he meant Cheney... Well, let's just say the town probably would not exist without EWU. Or it would be significantly smaller than it's 10k population (and that doesn't include the students who live the...

Of the cities listed, it's Portland - no contest. But I don't consider it a college town (I'm not sure if I'd consider Missoula one) in the sense that the univeristy and its students dominates the town. That said, I gotta be a homer and vote Cheney from the towns that a true college town from your l...

The only problem with that is we take a chance of not playing at home if the scenario happens as stated. Depends. We didn't have the AQ in 08, and EWU didn't have it in 10, but both teams got seeded. So I don't think the committee really cares about conference standings, just the final standings/sc...

I look forward to watching EWU again in Frisco!
