#2 EWU at UC-Davis Game Thread

Watching on big sky network and they were trying to be complimentary to the ewu coaching staff wondering if an fbs school might grab rhem
 
Good game. The least points we've scored, but the best the D has played IMO, especially in the second half. I think I was as excited about those 3 and outs as I was about the touchdowns!!!
 
If you think Baldwin is staying at a school that can't find $$ to add to a 10,000 seat facility you're crazy.

It's just a matter of time. Which is why it's so important to get the donations necessary while he' still and the team is winning. With the new President who knows what the funding level will be for football down the road.

Love Coach BB, but have a hard time believing he's here another 4-5 years.

Maybe so. But I'd be surprised that he hasn't gotten offers already. And even the low end of the FBS would pay him at minimum double what he's currently making, and probably a lot more. I wonder if he's just waiting for the right opportunity. Sometimes, "taking on the Cougs" for example may not be the best move for long term success. But it's all speculation on my part. I am grateful to have him, and hope he stays for a very long time to come. But I doubt it's a bigger stadium that keeps him if there is an offer for 8 times his current salary.

Heard that too. Not sure what to think, someone closer to the program should probably add their two cents. Felt Coach B should be a target before now, not sure the Wulff experience with WSU isn't keeping interest lower. It shouldn't, dingleberry down there is still playing about 50% of Wulff's recruits in his third year. Just goes to show you, not every coach can step up their level; i.e. Sears.

Maybe offers from NSEW Platypus State aren't that appealing ;-)

The UC Davis broadcasters aren't bad.
I recognized the broadcaster voice right away as being Barry Tompkins:

I was surprised that a guy of his stature was doing a UC Davis football game.

Just think if EWU had beaten the Huskies how that would have speeded up the process!
 
Any one at the game? Was Simba Webster there? Any recruiting news? Loved to see all the people supporting their Eag players with signs and attending.
 
Yah, I was at the game, and did see some recruits at the game on the sidelines. And yes, they were excited when EWU was doing there thing, scoring and doing run stuffing stops in the 2nd half. But can't say I was watching them a whole lot, just noticed they were down there. VA Adams had a large contingent there as well as Mario Brown. It was a great EWU crowd and LOUD. The funniest part of the game was the UC Davis students had to be told when to cheer, LOL! It was move in weekend for the freshman and it was pretty obvious it was there 1st football game, Also, the UC Davis BAND was playing loudly at times when there own team was on offense. I guess after we were laughing at them in the 4th quarter when they were getting stopped, they figured out they were hindering there team. lol. Anyway, it was BREWFEST weekend at the UC Davies tailgate, and we ALL had a blast with 40 Micro breweries on hand. Fun times! The offense left about 14 points off the board and the defense gave up 1 really long bad 70 yard TD play. I know the score was 37-14, but could have easily been 51-7. Also, the refs were HORRIBLE, just took points off our board . Seems like very time we had a bid play, it was called back for a penalty. Lots of good to come for EWU in the next month!!

Thanks for the report. BrewFest sounded like fun.

Two TD's called back hurt for sure. Funny to say that being the number one target of opposing Big Sky teams has resulted in being a target for the officials as well. Go Eags!
