Eastern would like to relegate the Griz to oblivion. If you want to cheer for a competitor, be my guest. Do you think Auburn fans cheer for Alabama, Oregon fans for Washington, Ohio State fans for Michigan, North Carolina fans for Duke?
I would have to disagree with your first statement, the only way they could do this is to continue to win the big sky over the next several years to become a powerhouse that the Griz use to be, then they've earn it and
it would be the Griz's mo to dethrone them. you are right, it is starting to look this way ie bobby to the rescue.
as for cheering for a competitor, i see what you are saying, only in the context during the regular season.
i would not cheer or EW if they were playing the Griz regular or post season, however, in reality, the Griz are not playing post season and the Eagles are so, yes, i will cheer for them because they are a big sky team and maine is not.
i could get real picky and go the east west route but my personal allegiance is not to take it to that level,
if it does come down to that i look at which team i believe i would put my money on, so give an example, if NDSU plays Maine in the chipper i would bet/cheer for NDSU.
