[BlackFalkin]

Whens the last time:

PSU finished the season in 1st or 2nd place?
PSU went to the Playoffs?
PSU had a 9 win season?
PSU had visitor stands?
PSU had a pressbox that DIDNT hang from the rafters?

PSU FANS: stay in a B*TCHES PLACE.

Salt Lake Tribune:
Wildcats will test mettle vs. MWC

This is Weber State's chance.
It's a chance to show how the Wildcats measure up against Division I teams. It's a chance to show fans in Utah how well they can play against Mountain West Conference opponents. It's a chance to show that last year was no fluke -- and that the 'Cats will be serious Football Championship Subdivision contenders in 2009.
Those two nonconference games against Wyoming and Colorado State, on back-to-back weekends, won't have much of an impact on the Wildcats' quest for an FCS championship -- but they will pay dividends in toughening Weber State up for a title run.

"It's one of the toughest schedules in I-AA," Weber State coach Ron McBride said. "They're very important games. I think it's good to see how competitive we're going to be. They should be interesting."
And relatively lucrative. The Wildcats will take home a combined $420,00 for playing on the road at Laramie, Wyo., and Fort Collins, Colo.

However, these games do not come without risk. They're the kind of nonconference encounters that could haunt the Wildcats if they lose badly and wind up with a bunch of injuries. That could quickly kill the team's confidence and prevent Weber State from building on what it accomplished last year -- winning a share of the Big Sky Conference championship and advancing to the quarterfinals of the FCS playoffs.
That's why players have worked so hard during the summer, especially defensive captain Kevin

Linehan, who was selected to the preseason all-Big Sky Conference team. He heads into fall camp, which starts Friday, after an impressive summer. McBride said he was "blown away" with what Linehan has accomplished this offseason.

Then there is quarterback Cameron Higgins, who earned all-Big Sky honors last year after throwing for 4,460 yards and 36 touchdowns. This could be a dangerous team -- on both sides of the ball.
"A lot of people know these Mountain West teams, and if we show what we can do, we can earn a lot of respect with fans and local Utah residents," Linehan said. "We just want to get the experience early. These games will help us continue on in conference games."

What makes the back-to-back away games even more daunting is that both trips will be by bus. On the weekend of Sept. 5, the Wildcats will take an 11-hour round trip to Laramie and they'll return to the road the next week for a 13-hour drive to Fort Collins to take on Colorado State.

"We look for competition and with these teams, it will give us some positive exposure in the Intermountain region," Weber State athletic director Jerry Graybeal said. "But in hindsight, it is like we're coming off a great season and now we're starting on the road, and it seems like we're handcuffing the team. But the kids, they look forward to playing up."

To defend ourselves considering that was a nice day for a game, the pic was taken in 2004...the year we went 1-10.

Also, that side of the stadium minus the suites holds more than the entire EWU stadium.

[BlackFalkin]

STUWART STADIUM's home side seats 8,000 Eastern's stadium high is 11,500

STUWART STADIUM's home side seats 8,000 Eastern's stadium high is 11,500 :coffee:

WSU's has equal sides. Also the press box holds another 500 so I guess its 18,000.

The ironic thing about your massive fan attendance for those games against Montana the majority of the fans were (no surprise) Montana Grizzly fans. Maybe out of that crowed of 10, and 11 thousand there might have been 4 thousand eagle fans. So your attendance numbers though better then Weber, arent to stellar

[Wedgebuster]

Tough to fill them seats when there are three bigger schools within a few miles and you know at least one of them is playing at the same time as Weber is.

That pic kind of 'splains why the Griz forgot to show up for that regular season tilt, it just didn't look like there was really going to be a game there.

[BlackFalkin]

and your a football school and we a bball school and you barely beat us in fball attendance. What about bball? Oh ya we average more than Reese even holds.

Sounds like excuses to me. And dont try to talk about bball here...If i remember correctly, this is CHAMPIONSHIPSUBDIVISIONDOTCOM,

Ive been to Stewart stadium twice, and I know for a FACT, that those stands are empty, so own up to the fact that Weber st. can not fill its stadium.

Griz are allowed 35% of the stadium tickets when the playe @ Eastern. the attendance was 11,583...do the math.


BTW SOUTHERN UTAH ATTENDANCE AVE: 3,264

BF 1/2 the stadium is Griz at the home games but who the hell cares it doesn't change your numbers. We like going to Spokane/Cheney and we always have a good time there and those are YOUR home #'s no matter how many Griz fans were there. I can tell you that your season ticket sales are slightly higher on the years that the Griz play there as well because there are quite a few of us Griz fans that just buy EWU season tickets to make sure they have them for that game and then donate the other tickets to children's groups and so forth.

and who was in the stand at SUU's games? ... NOBODY. THE FACT IS, you wish SUU could be in Eastern's place.

The team u love sucks
nobody supports them
their stadium is crap
their conference us crap
Everything about YOU and that school is fvckin weak.

lots of UM fans come to Cheney, i dont deny that, I used to love it personally!

But the FACTS ARE, in 2005 Eastern played UM @ WG stadium and won! Eastern STILL averaged 7,090 fans! Only 26 fans less than when we HOSTED THE GRIZ

2005: didnt host the griz attendance = 7,090
2006: did host the griz attendance = 7,111
