EWU is a rival of the moment or era. If they were bad at some point, or we were bad, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Griz Cat will always be a big game to the fans and players of both teams even if one or both were terrible that year.
This.
Plus, I thought I could root for the Cats against EWU back in September since it was non-conference, but it took me about 15 seconds after tuning in the game for my heart to tell me how to root.
