it was a lot of fun watching Kupp tear up all PNW Pac-12 teams the four years he played, even if he only beat two of them.I just cringe seeing UW on the schedule. In the prior decade playing a Pac12 team was an exciting prospect. Now I just hope for it to not be an embarrassment. In person I've seen Eastern play Oregon, Jazz and UW and Eastern always represented itself well. Hopefully we can get back to those days.
Jazz? What the? That should of been wazzu. My daughter attended Eastern the 4 years Kupp played. Kupps first year Eastern beat Oregon state. Watched that game on TV (pac12 network). Prior to that the only time I saw an Eastern game on TV ( I live 30 miles south of Seattle) was when they played the Huskies in 2011. Back to Kupps first season i think it was the second year Root sports was putting Big Sky games on TV here. I remember Root had Eastern vs Cal Poly, Montana and Portland state. All were good games and Kupp played great in all of them. I was instantly a big fan. He'll whats not to like? VA chucking the ball to Kupp and Ashton Clark. After that Oregon game we had duck fans who tailgate next to us asking who that #10 was. Then we explained he was the FCS freshman of the year for the previous season. I guess Kupp really made an impression. Oregon was ranked #7 but Kupp set a stadium record. I also was excitedI just cringe seeing UW on the schedule.
