FCS Championship Eastern Washington vs North Dakota State

[CDAGRIZ]

I can't believe ESPN can't put a title game on at a better time. 9am Pacific start time? Unreal.

I believe the early kickoff was scheduled as to not cause a conflict with the re-broadcast of the 2014 Johnsonville Cornhole regional qualifiers.

I wince every time I see the " pitch bean bags thru the open in a sheet of plywood" game. Ah these clueless millennials...

Totally agree. Throw the shoe of a clydesdale toward a piece of rebar like man, or don't even talk to me.

Surprised by the lack of faith in Eastern.... after Eastern’s bye week, they changed their offense to suit EB3 when it was confirmed Gubrud was done for the year. Since then, They have rallied off seven straight wins, six of them by 21+ points (including the CAA and southland champs). Eastern has a shot to win this...definitely underdogs but better than they are getting credit for.

I agree Marc. The teams who think they can beat the Fatsons at their own game are the teams I think have no chance. They end up getting ran over by the gravy train—literally.
That’s why I think teams like the eags (and maybe the Griz someday) are closer to beating them than teams like Weber and the Cants. No team can shut them out, so the only hope is to contain and out score them. Just like we did in the opener. Dweeber and MSpoo have terrible offenses. No chance.
But the eags have the best chance in a decade. That kid had 7tds vs a stout Maine D! Zone read the F outta ‘em

Some very good points. Still rooting for the officials to be the main story of the game. I mean to the point that neither team will be able to say definitively that they would've won the game but-for the horrible calls. I'm not talking PI calls that could go either way. I'm thinking an ambiguous fair catch returned for a TD, a fifth down, or a trap catch called for a TD on second down.

With a Big Sky team playing, which means, no thoroughly incompetant, flag waving, center of the story, Big Sky officials will be involved. Sorry!

As for the NDSU team? No Fatso’s included. Our OL runs over other OL for 4 Qtrs due to muscle and fitness and lack of Fatso players. There may be a few FR fatso OL, but not by year 2. If you want to call fans fatso, ok, but team not so “fatso” much

Come on leave him alone...

CDA is accustomed to watching teams built to contend for runner up, not teams built to win on the main stage.

Preseason games are also very important to CDA.

Keep going! Irony is very important to me, too...

Rumor has it they needed to move the location of the main stage from Chattanooga to Frisco due to stadium officials getting sick of the Griz’s performance.

Apparently the officials at Finley stadium were sick of going though all of the preparation and constantly hosting championship games where the Griz always lost.

I do think it's hilarious you've gathered all your gravy-chugging friends to come over onto eGriz to demand your 15 minutes of fame.

How sad and pathetic your little lives must be, to constantly seek recognition on ANOTHER team's message board that's not even playing in the game. :lol: :lol: :lol:

When analyzing this game matchup, the big number that stands out is 8.7. That's the average number of years it's been since most male UNDSU fans have been able to see their own penis without the aid of a mirror. This gives the bizon a huge advantage as far as fan support.

I have to confess that I got up this morning and searched for a recap of the NC game for about 10 minutes before realizing it wasn't played yesterday morning.

The good news is I have an early flight on the 5th so I'll probably be able to catch the first quarter before heading to the airport.

Glad to hear you can see the big game.

And the good news is I have a LATER flight from Montana back to SA on the 5th, so should be able to catch most of the game before heading to the airport... :thumb:

I have no flights that day but will still probably miss this "Big" game.

Great. Now we're down to 18 viewers.

There are many so called Griz fans that are all Gushy over cheering for Cheney Community College.

Not this Griz fan. I have no desire to see EWU win another title to rub in our faces.

Griz > Big Sky > All others, including UNDSU.

This ... excepting the Cats.

 

[CDAGRIZ]

Given that both the EWU and UNDSU fan bases crave validation from eGriz so much, the real question is how long after the "big game" will it take for a fan from the winning "university" to post in this thread?

I'm going with 8-10 minutes.
