FCS Kickoff: #1 EWU vs. #17 SHSU Game Thread

To All,
Upon arrival at the game on Saturday, I was asked what I think the outcome was going to be at the game. W/O sounding like I am a "Professor", I replied we will win by at least 21 points, we did. :clap: :clap: :clap: Found that SHSU had 21 drop downs, 16 coming in very late, still couldn't help them. They have a good Team, but very nasty after making a tackle. I hate talking negative about other Schools, but something needs to be done when a game is played like that one Saturday. I am not saying EWU are Angels, we did had a few cheap shots, but I think it was in retaliation to what was being done to Vernon, Quincy, etc one each tackle. So much for that. I love the "Bull Rush" that Dylan Zylstra, Mathew Sumner, Ebucam, and others were putting on SHSU O/L. Didn't seem like any team had a defense, we will get much better. Found out we didn't get a tape etc, from SHSU, we did send ours to them, because of the New coaching. BTW our former President Dr "A" and his wife was at the game and was supposed to depart Cheney around 5 am Today. Was great being able to wish them well, and let them know how much they will be missed here at EWU, the replied they will always be Proud of EWU, what they have accomplished. So much for my book.

Congrats & good luck to the Eagles the rest of the way. SH is a very talented team but have a long way to go. Luckily, we'll have most of that talent for 2-3 more years. Hope we get a chance to meet up in the playoffs.
 
Watched the game with a gang at home, including a good friend who had never watched a FCS football game before. Like the rest of us, he loved it! EWU gained one more fan on Saturday!
 
Slotang,
I hope you had better luck than I did reference the DVR of the game. I set my DVR about a week before, and I am still missing about 9 minutes of the last qtr. Even though I was at the game, wanted to see the butt whipping again :thumb: :thumb: :thumb: . I normally get the "add 30 minutes" don't know if I did or not, sometimes there are to much crap before the game comes on. That is my excuse ;) ;) ;) Vic Wallace
 
Sam-Kats,
Thanks for your entry, we appreciate it. Some one had to lose, your team did. It takes class to admit a lost, you are one of them that have class. Of course that is my opinion, others may not think like I do. ;) ;) Our team will get better, and once they continue to strive, I don't think any one can keep up with them, even SHSU, should we meet in the playoffs. This is not bragging, I know what we have for a team and Coaches. I have the confidence in this team, "I promise you they will get "Great" by the middle of the season. Again thank you, and "good luck " the rest of the season. Vic Wallace

I think you guys will tie things together and be in the post-season this year. And could be dang scary next year! Wished both teams played better on Saturday from start to finish, but still saw some incredible athleticism and great plays by both teams. It was certainly entertaining!

Maybe we will meet again at the end of the year, when both teams are in sync.
 
To All,
Attended practice today, team looks "Great". Spoke with AD today, he stated there are less than 300 tickets remaining for the game this weekend. Another "Sell Out"? This is a great. Also Sept 1st, will have approximately 20 Players at my residence @ 3 p.m. for a meal. Will attempt to feed 20 Players every 2 weeks, as long as my health continues as is, until all are fed. Go Eagles!!!!! Vic Wallace
 
Vic,
I'm still laughing! ALWAYS ADD 1 hour to DVR for Football games, as well as golf. I added ! hour for this game and still didn't get the last 31 seconds. MJB
 
talon38,
Thanks for the information. Well I don't feel bad, since you set your DVR an additional 1 hr, and still 9 seconds short. ;) ;) ;). Well my Labor Day BBQ, is for at least 20 of our Players at my residence should all show up @ 3 p.m. They will be eating good :nod: :nod: :nod: Yesterday found out we had just 58 tickets left for this today game. Vic
