Be the last ones not named NDSU to win a championship, put together a string of Big Sky Titles and playoff appearances (even before the championship), grow their fan to the point where they regularly are at or beyond stadium capacity, beat a top 25 FBS team and most recently in-state WSU (ok, the Idaaho win doesn't count for much.)
I'd love to hear why because this sounds more like sour grapes to me...
I don;t think EWU is embarrassing. They are a great team year-after-year. Offensively, anyway. They have a coach Montana very badly tried to lure away to Missoula two years ago. BUT, I would slow your roll a little on the whole fan base thing. The high school field in Cheney was nowhere even remotely close to capacity today or even remotely close to what you would call near capacity. Any objective EWU fan, and there are some out there, will admit that, the Eags fanbase is sporadic at best.
Hmmm. I could be wrong, but I thought I heard them say attendance was 9100 today. For a stadium with an (official) capacity of 8600, that sounds pretty close doesn't it???
Your point about our facilities is well taken, we are all aware they are subpar. I think most of us are just happy to beat a quality opponent and go 2-1 in our murderer's row of an opening schedule. Stadium stuff is weak smack and something a lot of egrizzzers seem to be really fond of. If I were you, I'd be more prone to brag about the humiliation the grizz served the eags last year. We've really had the grizz's number this decade so that's a pretty good win.
Cal Poly home attendance averaged 8,392 in 2015. So prepare to get beat by another unworthy opponent without the glamorous fan base that UM has.
