Hoping to at least feel good vs PSU with a competitive win where we see good things. Oft times two teams of semi-equal strength will provide an entertaining matchup and that's what I expect. PSU has scored 40 pts in 5 games thus far while having 225 pts scored against them. EWU will hopefully p
ut the effort into this one.
EWU 42 PSU 22
 
Yea Portland State is probably the worst in the Big Sky this season because usual basement dwellers Northern Colorado and Cal Poly aren't actually bad this year. They picked a good team for homecoming.
 
Battle of the B's, Bruce Barnham versus Best for the Basement of the Big Sky. My guess is that the Eags win and Best runs around all of next week acting like a kid who aced his math test when in reality he was flunking the class and got a C- on the test... Eags 34 Barnham Circus 26

Hoping to feel good? Be careful what you wish for! 3 or 4 wins could secure another year for Best or God help us a contract extension. Eastern now is actually worse than Idaho was with Paul Petrino! A blowout loss to Portland state might get the ball rolling although it should have happened last year after losing to the non scholarship school. A win against PSU is nothing to get excited about.

At this point, absolutely nothing would surprise me.

Me either. I had to stop reading anything football-related this week after the absolute abomination we watched on Saturday. Anyway, I wouldn't be shocked if we come out and kick Portland State's asses all over the field on Saturday. I also wouldn't be surprised one bit if we come out completely flat and lose by 30. I cannot make heads or tails of what's going on with this program.

The FCS subreddit has a "the good, the bad and the ugly" thread every week. EWU made the "ugly".

  1. Vigen secures Parlay with Bad Beat. How far has Eastern fallen when in order to hit the over Brent has to do an “act of Mercy” and fake a field goal up 33. Eastern Washington provided no help, but Brent wanted to make back what he lost last week. Even scored the late touchdown in the 4th to secure the over for his cove/over parlay. Eastern Washington may not win another game.

I won't presume to have any idea of what's going to happen in this game. It'll boil down to how good or bad PSU rush defense is since we don't seem to be able to do anything but run the ball, and not very well.

Neither team is very talented nor playing to their (limited) potential. I could see this game being a massacre for either team. It’ll come down to who, if anyone, motivated. Does either team want to show up and play hard? If one does and the other doesn’t (which is likely), the team that wants it wins by a lot. Maybe we’ll be lucky and the motivated team is our guys. The problem with a front-loaded schedule where you incur a lot of losses is that it teaches you to be a good loser and it sucks the desire out of your team.

I remember playing an absolute stinker against Cal Poly a couple years ago that may have been the worst game I’ve ever seen. Neither team gave a shit. It was appalling.

I sure hope Eastern finds some heart and character. If Eastern loses, I think there is a reasonable chance Best loses his job midweek. I hate cutting a guy in the middle of the season.. it’s not like you have another guy in the wings that can steer the ship. But if you’re the AD, there’s gonna be a lot of pressure to do something about it.

Why wait, I hardly doubt that it could be any worse if his asst coaches took over. I hate seeing that guy prowling on the sidelines like he knows what he is doing. I bet the stands wont even be half full on homecoming, pathetic is an understatement.
