Re: EWU Post Game Thoughts
Great day to be a Bison...#7..glorious weather..game was nerve-wracking, but will remember much about it compared to our blowouts..rushing the field never gets old.. Came home and watched the dvr'd pregame show and thought they did a much better job as it was all about the FCS Champ game and not Monday night.

Wasn't there an offensive pass interference call where we lost some yardage?

So their cheating was effective, except they got caught.

Good catch---6 yards.

I think it could if we would have used more than 1/3rd of it.

I wish all these officiating experts would help us and join us. So many areas of the country are losing officials and not recruiting enough to replace them. Youth leagues are really struggling to find officials and high schools are having to move games to Thursday and Saturday to find enough officials to cover the games.
Once you get over the learning hump the fans and coaches abusing you doesn't bother you as much because you know they are probably wrong and it doesn't matter what they say. It becomes a craft you work at the continually be better and you become a part of a fraternity of people with a similar passion. And you get to be a key part of a great sport.
Anyone at any age can start but especially those on their early 20s should consider it. If you love it and put in your time you have a shot of making it to Division I or even the NFL. Please send me a PM if you or someone you know might be remotely interested.

The biggest play called back (think it went for 50) in first half was for 5 players in the backfield—an alignment issue basically—and had no effect on the outcome of the play. There was another, similar call that went for 15-20, again, that had no effect on outcome of play.

Is it possible having 5 in the backfield is the reason there was a blown coverage?

I also wish that those that complain about officials would reflect internally. EWU was highly penalized all year, averaging 8 or 9 per game. Seems their coaches could have addressed that at some point during the year before it bit them in the ass.
