One reason for the recent rivalry, is that our AD Graybel was an assistant coach at EWU for a while before he became the head coach at WSU. Whenever we played EWU it was a huge game for us because coach knew all the coaches up there. I guess it has continued with Coach McBride, for some unusal reason. It also could be, because we have been playing EWU late in the season for the past few years and wanted to end the season on a high note. Who Knows... Sorry Eagle 1, Go Cats! Tim Toone will have another four TD game.
