And I think, with all due respect, you're under reacting, looking at this game through your Bobcat filter. Eastern is a far better team, at least at this point in the season then they were when they played MSU, they have a very talented young QB, they were understandably pissed due to losing their best player and All-Big Sky and All-American Michael Wortham to us, their kids were chirping at Michael throughout the game, and I have been to our games, both in Cheney on that God-awful red turf and at WA-GRIZ--including homecoming games, where Eastern upset us.
I have been to some of those games and you as an MSU fan, have not. We are Eastern's Super Bowl, their arch rival, your Bobcats are not, add in their very talented unknown QB, our exhausted and beat-up team due largely to not having a bye, and the fact they hate us more than normal because they think we " stole" Wortham from them, and the result was Eastern playing way up against us--kudos to Coach Best, Jake Schakel, and the rest of The Eags. : ) !!!
