45-7 with 3 minutes to go 3rd quarter. Looks like Poly having trouble on D again. Should be more competitive against a lower tier pac-12 team.

28-21 EWU. It’s a game now. Defense optional.

Pick 6 and first stop 3 and out by JSU changes momentum a bit.

I thin JSU will score quite a few points - problem is they can’t stop Eastern.

28-7 EWU. First quarter. Blowing JSU out. JSU cannot stop EWU.

Eastern Washington returns opening kickoff for TD

Thanks for the recommendation. Have to check into it.

Any ASTers going to Fargo? If so, and want to get together, you can Indicate on thread or just go ahead and PM.

By the way, game is on ESPN +. 4.95/month for subscription. Carries a lot of FCS games.

my thoughts exactly. Bummed me when they changed their name.

that’s it!

I don’t know if the following was said by someone on this board or I saw it somewhere else:

“Welcome to Eastern Washington - home of Tampax Field”

my wife an I will be at the game. Was going to check into tailgating with AST members but don’t know if any are going. I had to pay double face value to get decent tickets online. May stop by regardless and maybe PM you later.

Hi Howard and welcome! I have not heard Dick Lewis’ name in quite some time. He cracked my back once when I got some back spasms pitching. I was on the team 77and78. Most of the time I rode the bench and the only medical danger was choking on a sub sandwich between double header games from the local sub shop (forgot the name). Rich Martini was on the baseball team. Saw the games you referred to as a member of the Band-uh. Those were the days when we expected to win most every game in football and as you say good to see things turning around.

While preparing for our trip to Fargo and parts north to watch the Aggies take on the Bizzzzzon, I wanted to bring along some traditionals and other pieces done by the (real) Aggie Band-uh to get me in the spirit. I was going to rip them from the album (yes folks...LP) I have but someone has them up on a generic archive site. You can download them from the link below.

I plan on checking out Eastern Washington vs Jacksonville State. Eastern not as intimidating when not on their awful red turf and Jacksonville a playoff team the past couple years

Weber vs. UNR could be interesting.

I think it helped that USD was the best team in their league and in the playoffs the last 3 years. They also won 2 first round games the first 2 years fairly easily. They did get dispatched first round last year and the Ags did have an easier time with them last year after being nearly tied mid-game.

wow. I guess it was really that long ago. I remover that game with Bill Fleming and Ara Parseghian doing the game for ABC. I was in the Band-uh. Phil Swimly noted correctly that the line of scrimmage won it for the (then) Engineers.

Very strange to see the SanDiego State and Weber scores after their 6-0 baseball score the previous week. I watched the Weber-Poly game. Josh Davis was the difference maker. He really diced up the Poly D. Weber’s QB Constantine (all I can think of are thermocouples with that name) was injured.

my thoughts exactly, I.e., no penetration and no pressure on QB. I will say that USD had an excellent game plan. They really spread things out. It seems at times the D was a bit confused on how to react to different and shifting formations. I know in one play, there were 3 stacked receivers- and maybe 1 more split left, and there were n-1 defenders in that side of the field. Big play as a result.

Also thought Maier was very accurate and effective. Yes, 2 ints. Preece really stepped up and good to see Harrel with 8 receptions. Crawford becoming a go to guy too.
