Both calls are complete homer calls

EWUs fault for letting homer refs play a role in the outcome


Blaming the victim?

Your going to run into some incompetent homer officials on the road. You’ve got to be that much better.

Lol... if you think we’re getting hosed tonight, wait until we get to Missoula.
Oh ya!

A Big Sky tradition

Enough of this one. Time to start over boys. We’ve got better players than the way they’re performing. That starts with the coaches.

Agreed. Head coach/OC/DC not gelling and not preparing this team to play well.

Going to feel free to disagree with you. Guess I expect professionals in a position of responsibility to hold themselves to a higher standard. Being better is a two way street.

I can’t remember an EWU team that has played worse than this in recent history. It’s inexcusable given the talent available. When was the last time we were this bad? 2006?

Probably. That was our last losing season. But like you said, we didn’t have the talent back then that we do now. I’m confident Best and crew will right the ship but doubt it happens this season.

The stadium renovation announcement might be the best thing to come out of this football season.

Interesting, Bill Chaves was awful at fundraising and moving projects but his teams were damn good. Lynn Hickey is great at fundraising and moving projects, but her teams are shitty. Seriously volleyball is totally incompetent, soccer has swung downward in a bad way, and football is the worst in a long time. Now I don’t think that really falls on the AD, but it is ironic.
 
11 penalties for 97 yds but that does not count 5he killed drives or 1st down gifts to them.
We`re 1/2 through the season and still "getting caught" too many times.
 
Yes, EWU IS 2-4 to start the season, BUT 1-1 in the Big sky conference. NO BIG SKY TEAM will go undefeated this year so that bodes we’ll for EWU. With our remaining schedule against UNC. at home W, Griz away ?, NAU at home W, IDST away W, cal poly away, W then PSU at home W, we finish 7-1 or 6-2 in BSC and playoffs where anything can happen, so don’t panick yet, it does get easier, LOL! This team is just too good and we all know it. If they win out, probably BSC CHANPS or co champs.

With one of your wins coming against a D2, even if you win out you’ll only have 7 D1 wins correct? With a 12 game schedule this year, The chances of a 7 win team getting into the bracket will be very low. However, if you do reel off 6 straight the committee would probably have to consider it as you’d be one of the hotter teams. This is of course if you don’t land the auto bid from the Sky.
 
The trip to the FCS National Championship game was impressive Aaron Best. However, having Barriere, Custer and 3 good wr’s is good enough to win, even with that terrible defense wearing red uniforms. Those are a lot of Baldwin’s guys out there and it looks like Best can’t put together a decent team or a decent game! This is embarrassing guys! Eastern lost to Jax State (beatable), Idaho (terrible team imo) & (sorry-ass, cellar-dweller, 3,000 fans in attendance) Sacramento State!

Aaron Best did not EARN that HC job, and working on the staff for 20 years doesn’t mean you’re HC material. Sorry, it has to be said. Montana might destroy this team, yea I hope it doesn’t happen either but cmon guys.... Sacramento State made Eastern look like Northern Colorado yesterday. Brace yourselves, this might get ugly.
 
Heavy;
What would someone who has not been a HC do to EARN the job?
FYI, because you said it does not make it so.
 
Coach Best has produced two good football seasons including the trip to Frisco, and lost two important games, and won an important game this season. And some guys here are implying, threatening, that he be fired? Although Sac State apparently had several losing years there is evidence that it's no longer true. IMO, Eastern lost to a much improved team Saturday evening. We shall see how Sac State weathers the remaining season. For the two aforementioned loses, some are suggesting they would favor seeking and hiring a new head coach, new assistant coaches and endure a few years building for better success? There is no coaching candidate anywhere that's more EKG than Coach Best who has a time-proven loyalty to EWU football. Yeah, and I recall fairly recent comments on this site that Eastern is just a stepping stone for aspiring head and assistant coaches. Please, someone explain how the mid-season bitchin, and second guessing on this site could have any positive affect on the team, recruiting, or raising funds for the stadium.
 
60's may be going out on a limb here but you mentioned " Please, someone explain how the mid-season bitchin, and second guessing on this site could have any positive affect on the team, recruiting, or raising funds for the stadium".
I'll take a stab and zero effect.
All ten of us on here are who I would consider big fans, really nobody but us probably even look at this site and...all the views on a particular post/topic...are probably just us checking to see what the other 9 of us may say about our own post.
That's ok, I have a blast on here and do infact expand my knowledge about the game/team as everyone (of the ten of us...ok 15 of us) of us bring a different view. I appreciate everyone on here.
I suck.
