    Doesn't change hmmm? You do remember that when he was hurt they lost to Northern Arizona and their 3rd string QB right? NAU with their starting QB lost to South Dakota

    While that's a very intriguing use of the transitive property of college football, the fact is that EWU went 3-1 without him in conference play. That conference isn't getting any better any time soon so you give his practice reps in fall camp (and spring camp if he makes it clear he's leaving) to the new starter and maybe they lose one more game than they were going to and go 7-4 instead of 8-3 but that's probably about it.
    Now this is the law of the prairie
    As old and as true as the sky
    And the Bison that keep it will prosper
    And the Bison that break it will die
    As the creeper that girdles the tree trunk
    This law is the final word:
    For the strength of the Herd is the Bison
    And the strength of the Bison is the Herd.

    If he ends up leaving it would be a total kick in the nuts to Eastern Washington. Could you have imagined if Brock Jensen would have left his senior season to go the Wisconsin. I predict if this happens, the hatred will be off the charts. Really really really selfish thing to do. Kid will get drafted no matter where he goes. Who knows maybe he goes there and doesn't start or plays poorly.

    While I agree about EWU fans being upset if he leaves, I am sure the dozen or so people that care will pale in comparison from the Duck reception he'll get.

    I'd think old VA would need about as close a guarantee as possible that he'd get a legit shot at #1 to leave.

    Selfish? What if EWU doesn't offer the classes he wants to finish his degree? Can't blame him for pursuing a higher level of competition than what the big fluffy presents.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.

    I do believe you just cant pull up stakes your senior year and retain eligibility. You have to graduate AND have one year of eligibility left and your current school doesnt offer the graduate courses you need for your Masters.

    Think of the kid we got from UNI.

    It;s a big risk in my opinion. Sure, the exposure at Oregon is vastly superior then what he gets a EWU. But what if he doesn't start? What if he starts and stuggles and rides the pine the rest of the year. A program like Oregon is not going to let you "figure it out" as you go. They have plenty of highly rated QB recruits that have the ability to take the Ducks to where they wan to be every year; as a contender for the championship. If he stays at EWU and is healthy; he will more than likely have 5000 total yards and be a Payton award finalist yet again, and be on a lot of teams draft boards. Should be interresting to watch.

    The biggest question is WHY does he want to leave?
