Battle of the Birds: #5 ISUr at #4 EWU

[EWURanger]

Well, I'm heading to work. Congratulations Illinois State, you are truly a dominant team. I expect Illinois State to win all the way through Frisco.

+1 Very solid team. I'd be surprised to see anyone beat them.

 

[JPN17]

Full credit to ISU today. They were easily the better team. I tip my cap to them. Good luck the rest of the way!

"Copper Kupp".

This is one of the best FCS teams I have seen in while. EWU got beat by a better more physical team with good coaching on both sides of the ball. I think it will be ISU vs North Dakota State in the finals.

 

[EWURanger]

So...onside kick here? :lol:

You guys are on our board quite a bit talking smack. I recognize just about every one of your names. So to get worked up when a couple of Griz fans show up on your board is somewhat ironic and hypocritical.

I did not come to talk any smack though. Eastern has a good team and is the best in the big sky there's no doubt about it. But even with that said, I knew long before the playoffs started that no big sky teams were going far in the playoffs this year. The lack of defense in our conference would never put a team far. I knew that would hurt Eastern Washington badly as well. As a conference, these teams have to figure out how to play some hard-nosed football and bring some defense. Until then, the big sky is becoming the big sigh. Defense wins championships we are seeing that time and time again.

On a positive note, you guys kicked our butt a couple times and you've got a lot of great players coming back. I think if you can figure out your defensive woes you'll have a shot at the title next year. Best of luck.

While I agree with most of what you said, coming onto an opponents board for the sole reason to rub it in is classless, and very Grizzish.

I don't think many folks on this board rubbed it in when we kicked your asses (twice). That's the difference here.

Ya gotta keep fightin'. It's not like the kickoff team has been pinning them deep anyway.

Illinois State just the better team today.

I agree completely. To jump on here simply to rub it in is totally classless and it makes me embarrassed of some of our Griz fans. But again, it's only one or two and all fan bases have Em.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

This is far worse than the Sam Houston or Towson losses in my opinion. We were at least competitive in those games.

 

[EWURanger]

Screw it, go for 2 and then kick another on-sides. :lol:

 

[Seattle Eagle]

Missed extra point pretty much sums up this entire game.

Just give them a head pat like the little brothers they are and move on. FTG. Bring your weak ass smack here anytime you like, especially when we are hosting a playoff game while grizz players are on their mom's couches. It makes me laugh how pathetic the grizz fans are.

Agreed. The coaches need to study a little film on the Missouri Valley Conference to see how to play a little defense. It's tough to win every game and sometimes the guy across from you is just a little bit better, something most of our player found out today. It might be a good learning experience.

 

[EWURanger]

That makes things a little more interesting at least.

 

[FreeBird]

Remember when extra points where considered to be automatic?

You'd think you could practice that enough to where it would be expected you could make it.

I just don't understand how he hasn't missed any FG's at all but continues to miss XP's. It's just weird.

 

[EWURanger]

So...stack the box I guess.

I know, that's just weird.
