EWU was good for the 10 or so years Cooper Kupp was there. Happy to see him graduate.

All time Griz moments in Governors Cup series against EWU

EWU was definitely a dog fight during my college years at UM all the way until 2021. They had some incredible players during that 15 year span

They were the best team in the conference for awhile once Bobby left to UNLV. Their offense was something else during this era. Not only Cooper Kupp they had Aaron Neary who would go on to play for the Los Angeles Rams and Jake Rodgers who would go on to play for the Denver Broncos on the offensive line and they had Kendrick Bourne at the other wide receiver position across from Kupp. Bourne is still playing in the NFL currently on the 49ers.
I totally agree with your assessment of the red field and that long awaited win. Really happy the #6 made the move. Now maybe I'll have some favorite memories of EWU.
Maybe they're just trying to forget: https://gogriz.com/news/2004/9/17/UM_EWU_game_lodging_package_available

One of my favorites was 2011, when EWU had won the title the year before. The goal line stand at halftime is an underrated memory of mine of watching games at WA-Griz.
Loved watching this hilight tape. That 2011 squad was legit, lots of studs. Jonathan Smith was our OC that year and our offense was clicking all year with JJ at qb, too bad the season ended up the way it did, and all the bullshit that ensued !
Totally worth the retina burn

Does anyone remember an epic overtime game vs ewe, probably early 2000s?
I can’t seem to figure out when it occurred (or if it occurred for that matter) as I was in a WaGriz box that day so very fuzzy, although I seem to recall it going into multiple overtimes and a Griz victory.

I would say Michael Wortham sure does!That’s not good considering the current team plays them on Saturday
I've known that the EWU/Montana rivalry game was called "The Governor's Cup". And I've always thought that there needs to be a trophy for this game as well. How cool would it be to be an FCS program that has three rivalry trophies that it plays for? Not many FCS programs can say that.

They had us dead to rights but missed a chip shot in OT that would have won them the game, then they made the same FG in the second OT, but ETU!!!!!

Yeah oddly my family members that attended EWooo seem to think there is a rivalry with UM. I am regularly reminding them there isn't, never has been, and we don't care about EWooo.

I never missed a home game from 1993 through 2015 to include the playoffs, to the point of my wife being induced early so I could make it to the UM/Idaho game. Last game I went to with my Grandfather before he passed was the McNeese play off game in December of 1994. Man I have spent a lifetime in that stadium and at that school.
Griz deny EWU
The difference between a team that has won or shared eight of the last nine Big Sky Conference football championships and one hoping to win its first since 1997 is timing. Montana continually made clutch plays, the last a blocked field goal by Shane MacIntyre with 18 seconds to play, allowing...

I recall some awesome games here, in Joe Albi in Spokane and in Cheney (pre and post red turf). Even a controversial often talked about finish in old Dornblaser.
Most teams have more than one rival. I consider EWU a rival. They've been tough in men's and women's hoops and those games (as well as the football games) usually have an edge that to me makes it a rivalry.
What's wrong with having rivals? Griz boosters seem to love this woeful conference we're a part of. Aren't Georgia, Auburn, LSU, Ole Miss, Florida "rivals" with Alabama? And vice versa among all these schools and others?
Are Portland State, NAU, Weber, Northern Colorado, Cal Poly, or Utah Tech the UM "rivals"? Are MSU, Idaho or EWU?

That’s what the team does every week, ie learns about the opponent. It’s only Tuesday. All opponents treated the same. One game at a time. There is no rivalry with Eastern. Each opponent is respected and taken seriously.That’s not good considering the current team plays them on Saturday
