Sometimes teams play down to the competition. The Griz have done the same thiis year in games. EWU being one.
You obviously are ignorant of EWU-UM.
We are their rival, your Shi__y Kitties
Combine that rivalry with no bye week for us, unlike MSU and Eastern and everyone else in The Big Sky and, at least partially as a result, 4-5 DB's out for us, and a very talented freshman Eastern QB that had played very little if at all until this game including against MSU--no film, and we had the recipe for a nail biter.
The only close games we've had are with a good ND and a scrappy Eastern. While officially, we beat Idaho by something like 11 points the game wasn't that close--Idaho scored their final TD with 17 seconds left in the game as Coop and Tim pulled our starters late 3rd early 4th to try to keep them healthy due to not having a bye--we were ahead something like 42-17 when we pulled our starters And we sure didn't play down to the competition yesterday in Portland !!!
MSU has one rival--us. We, Da GRIZ. have 3: Eastern, Idaho ( Little Brown Stein)--at least partially why ESPN 2 broadcast the game this year, and your Bobcats.
