Eastern Washington pregame thread

Anyone that's going to the game know if NDSU has a tailgate area set aside or is everyone just going to invade EWU tailgating?

Sorry if I missed it, but anyone know if this is on (directv) ESPN college extra this weekend?

NDSU does NOT have a specific tailgate section, believe the deal is most bought passes and will be in P18, first come first serve until full but you buy a pass. Its kind of weird, I'm also guessing if you get there early like 7-8 am it probably wont be an issue getting a spot.

Remember EWU wont have any Students as classes have not started yet

......The Eagles face plenty of challenges this week. The first is the weather, as unhealthy air levels forced an indefinite stay indoors. The fieldhouse lacks a proper surface – it’s more suited to tennis than football – and special-teams practice is impossible.......

The Eagles came out of the Tech game free of injury. However, linebacker Ketner Kupp missed the Texas Tech game with a high ankle sprain and is questionable this week.

As mentioned elsewhere by EC8CH, EWU's Eastern Washington / Texas Tech thread got a little entertainment going, starting at page 13

Checked back on this thread - the NDSU Bison thread is surprisingly quiet, last post Aug 30.
If some NDSU fans think they have scheduling complaints about Bison football, well, that would not be unique to NDSU.
According to the Texas Tech thread, after Eastern Washington won the
National Championship, they had zero home OOC games the following year.
And how 'bout this years Eagles schedule, here are the 1st 4 weeks

@ Texas Tech - Sept 2 (56-10 loss)
NDSU - Sept 9
@ Fordham - Sept 16
@ Montana - Sept 23

Apparently there is no return home game from Fordham - so the Eagles travel 3000 miles to New York, look at the tall buildings and then go to scenic Wa-Griz the following weekend. Fun!

Jesus...they are not very optimistic over in Washington this week.

And then the Griz fan comes out of the backfield to twist the knife. *chuckle*

I suppose that there is a fairly good possibility the NYC will be getting the tail end of Irma that weekend. They do have field turf but I wonder what the storm will do to the upper Eastern Seaboard..............and when.

He recruited us. Came with his Dad. said they fell in love with how NDSU plays. Was not offered by NDSU. Loved their visit to NDSU. took his only offer from what I understand. Not sure on that.
