Leach certainly isn't overlooking us.

Leach said the Eagles have “a program with a lot of tradition, has won a lot of games, expects to win a lot more.”

And after WSU’s poor showing against BYU, Leach chafed at the idea that the Cougars might overlook a team from a lower division.

“I can’t fathom how that should even be possible for our team,” Leach said. “And I can’t fathom how it should even be possible anyway. If you step on a field, it doesn’t matter if you go against the scouts, if you go against some little high school, some junior high school, it doesn’t matter if you go against the New England Patriots, the Green Bay Packers, none of that should matter. You step out there and you can do what you can do, your best is your best, you develop it as a habit and you do it over and over.”

Very idealistic quote by the coach. What matters is what the players are thinking consciously and subconsciously. Is the "cougin it" attitude still in the back of the minds of soph, jrs, and seniors?
We'll see on Saturday :thumb:

Nice article in the Tacoma paper:

CHENEY – Hidden amid the golden fields of grain that surround the quiet college town of Cheney lies one of the best-kept secrets in college football.

At Eastern Washington University, footballs fly through the air with alarming frequency. Coach Beau Baldwin, a 1990 Curtis High graduate who was a star quarterback for the Vikings, oversees one of the most dynamic passing offenses at any level of college football.

The Eagles, overshadowed by big brothers Washington and Washington State, led the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly NCAA Division I-AA) with 368.4 passing yards per game last season.
