After the trip to Cheney 4 years ago and the trip to Spokane this spring, I will most definitely be staying in Spokane for this game.
Cheney is sandwiched in between beautiful and expensive Gonzaga, and an hour south is Washington State University which has a 30k enrollment and is a member of the Pac10. It's hard to compete with those.

The streets are alphabetical. I lasted about a minute thirty and I couldn't take it anymore.

Cheney actually has two campuses if you count the Spokane center downtown jointly shared with WSU. There's a large population of EWU students at that location that never ever come out to Cheney for classes. And you're right Cheney doesn't have a lot of nightlife options. That's what Spokane is for. And having to travel to get to nightlife options keeps the drugs and riffraff out of the Cheney community. The biggest complaint is the occasional house party. When I worked there I definitely wouldn't consider the school a party school. Lots of the community including faculty staff and students were really involved in outdoor year 'round. When I was there mike Kramer started the football team on the road to postseason success but I remember the biggest sports accolades coming from Ray giacoletti (sp?) and the basketball team when they made the NCAA's 2002ish. Former Bison center Greg Smith was a senior on the team.
And yet if they played WA st. this year I would pick EW to win. I respect FCS programs like EW and the Bison that can hang tough with and take down schools that have big advantages over them. Oh, and I would pick them to beat the Zags in football too :biggrin:
