I was talking to someone from Tennessee today. I told him that I was watching the team I played for play a playoff game this weekend. He asked me what team I played for. When I said EWU, he said "Oh they have the red turf, right?" Then he asked if I was on the team that won the Chipper. He asked who we were playing, I told him the university of montana. He said he wasn't familiar and asked if they were any good.
I've had many conversations very similar to this.
You are trying way too hard here my man.
You have every right to puff your chest about the Eastern program. They have superior athletes and coaches right now. They have dominated the Griz recently, and supplanted them as THE team in the BSC. You have the best QB and WR in the country in my opinion, and I think you’ll make a run at the NC this year. Candidly, I don’t expect the game this weekend to be that close.
That said, this story is complete BS. To think Eastern is anywhere near UM in terms of national recognition is horseshit, and you know it. Even the most rabid, Griz hating troll would not agree with this.
Go ahead and boast about what EWU is
on the field. You don’t need to make shit like this up to prove your point.
