"Colossally bad." Really? They look to me like a middle of the pack team that could give anyone in the conference a game if they play well.

I stand by it. D like a sieve.

Guess the Big Sky is a colossally bad FCS conference then. I've watched all the Big Sky teams play this year and EWU is likely a middle of the pack team with likely the hardest first 6 games of any FCS team in the country.

Ewu, definitely not bad. Not as good as they have been in many previous years though. They probably the 4th best team in the conference. If they had even a decent defense, they'd be really good. But, their defense is one of the worst I've seen out of the big sky this year. Absolute trash.

Pretty much agree. I'd probably put EWU, UCD, and Idaho in the same tier right now behind UM, Sac st, Weber and msu. They can keep up with some of the top teams on any given day, but basically have little to no shot at winning the conference or making the playoffs, imo. Idaho should be a fun game next week though.
 
Still, for all the doubts about EWU, they've hung with WSU well into the 3rd quarter. Lots of time left, and the game is certainly not out of reach.
 
Looks like 11 just found out your not allowed to throw a punch and catch the official on the follow through.

Eastern players getting dirty/chippy as they see their season ending before their eyes. :lol:

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.

Well outside the top 4 the rest of the Sky IS bad. Hate to be the bearer of bad news. You can call it a “second tier” but that doens’t change the fact that outside of UM/MSU/Weber/Sac there isnt’ another team worth two shits this year.
 
Weber much like NDSU made these games closer than they were. They both look very beatable but if they cleanup the bonehead mistakes they are very good.

Bearer of bad news? No one ever said EWU or anyone was a great team. I personally said they were a middle of the pack team in both the Big sky and FCS in general. That's likely a fact. In addition, Idaho hasn't shown anything to suggest they aren't a decent team, but your hyperbole doesn't allow for much thought. It's common most every single year in most conferences that only three teams at best have a real shot to make waves on the national scene. If an FCS team is competitive with the top teams in FCS, then they likely aren't "colossally bad," they just aren't in the upper echelon. That's FCS football for you. You seem incapable of understanding nuance. Not everything is just great or terrible. There is actually a majority that lives between those lines.

I think EWU is a good team. They’re “middle of the pack” material because the top 4 are auto top 7 teams. Who has EWU lost to outside the top 7 and FBS? I think they’re top 25. Same with UCD. That’s not bad at all!

Idaho might have something to say about that. They look improved. I’d like to see UM prove they’re better than their last performance against a much improved Idaho

Griz,Cats and Sac are clearly miles ahead of anyone else in the Sky right now,IMO. Weber plays the afore-mentioned 3 teams in a row soon, and has a chance to prove they belong, but I'm not buying it yet. EWU also has a chance vs Sac next week to prove something, but as much as I hate to say it, Sac scares me.

Yeah, Sac has looked really good and multidimensional, maybe the best looking team right now, of course a lot will sort itself out. It does drive me nuts that the Cats don't play them and could potentially win the conference in large part because of that. Just hate how this conference is structured. Might as well put an asterisk next to the conference champ until conference schedules are balanced year to year.

I just hope we can win at Weber, because I think we’re losing at sacramento

MSU also doesn’t play Idaho this year, who is also one of the better teams in conference and almost beat them last year
