[E-Wu Tang Clan]

Aug 29: @NAU - Loss
NAU weren't amazing but they won 7 games and Best teams suck on the road.

Sep 05: vs. UNI - 50/50
UNI sucks, EWU sucks, we'll see who sucks less. We lost last year... at home.

Sep 12: @South Dakota - Loss
Easy loss on the road to a team that went 10-5 last year in the Missouri Valley.

Sep 19: @UW - Loss
Hopefully not too embarrassing.

Sep 26: vs. Cal Poly - Win
At home, Cal Poly has new coaching staff.

Oct 03: @UC Davis - Loss
9-4 team that went to the playoffs, away game.

Oct 10: vs. UNC - Win
Historically bad team at home.

Oct 17: vs. MSU - Loss
Playing the national champs at home, should be embarrassing.

Oct 31: vs. Montana - Loss
I actually think this might be close but they usually pull out the win. Plus their new DC is our old DC.

Nov 07: @Idaho - 50/50
Either close or a beat down in the Kibbie Dome

Nov 14: @Utah Tech - 50/50
They didn't seem that great last season but it is an away game.

Nov 21: vs. PSU - 50/50
It was close last year and they got a new coaching staff from CWU.

So two wins, four 50/50 which works out to about 4 wins, maybe 5.

Anyone know what game is homecoming? Hopefully UNC and not Montana State.

Homecoming is against Northern Colorado the week of October 10th.

I just tried to find the "Game Notes" where the two deep is listed and its not posted yet.

 

[Seattle Eagle]

We didn't play UNI at home last year.

I'll take a shot at the predictions. I will base my picks on the Eags offense having a returning O-line with experience, two solid QB's in Bell and Schakel and Rolfesness having experience as well, lots of upside at RB with an experienced Dotson being the leader, and an up and coming recieving core with Branch having star potential. I believe the Eags D will be improved. I like the size up front with La'ulu listed at 333#, and Perez listed at 299#. It's been a while since we've had big physical hole pluggers up front. Our LB's are much more experienced, and our DB's might be the best unit on the team led by S Jaylon Jenkins. Special teams should be solid as well.

Aug. 29 @ NAU. Win Eags 34 NAU 27
NAU is the 4th or 5th best Big Sky team. I believe we are 4 or 5 as well. Eags off to a great start on the road.

Sep 5 vs. UNI. Win Eags 38 UNI 20
UNI is a lower end Missouri Valley team and we are still tough to beat on the red.

Sep 12 @ South Dakota Loss Eags 24 South Dakota 27
Tough loss on the road to a playoff team. Eags will be very competive.

Sep 19 @ Washington Loss Eags 10 Washington 48
The Huskies are next level and we aren't the upset specialists we used to be. Hope we stay healthy after this game.

Sep 26 vs Cal Poly Win Eags 48 Cal Poly 17
Eags win Big on the red over a rebuilding Cal Poly team.

Oct 3 @ UC Davis Loss Eags 20 UC Davis 30
Tough road game for the Eags against a top 3 Big Sky team. Close but Davis pulls away.

Oct 10 vs UNC Win Eags 52 UNC 13
Eags offense gets rolling against a bottom tier UNC team.

Oct 17 vs MSU Loss Eags 24 MSU 33
Tough game against one of the best teams in the nation. Eags make it hard on the red.

Oct. 24 Bye

Oct 31 vs Montana Win Eags 38 Montana 35
Halloween night on the red. The Griz have only won once on our turf. Bad voodoo for the Griz.

Nov 7 @ Idaho Win Eags 38 Idaho 27
Eags get on a roll after big win vs Montana. Eags are better than Idaho and impose their will.

Nov 14 @ Utah Tech Win Eags 41 Utah Tech 23
Road game against a low end Big Sky team. Eags are humming.

Nov. 21 vs. PSU Win Eags 42 PSU 17
The Damn cup goes to Eastern as we gear up for our first playoff birth in a while.

The Eagles finish 8 - 4 and go into the playoffs on the road as the 4th team out of the Big Sky. I'm genuinely excited for this season.
