[AppMountaineer13]

TD EWU!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

11 yard scramble by Young! xlolx

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

WooHOO Go Eags!

[EdubAlum]

E-A-S-T-E-R-N!!!!!!!!!!!!! TOUCHDOWN baby

[Screamin_Eagle174]

TD EWU!!

Nice psychic abilitilities!

TD EASTERN WASHINGTON!

[B&G]

Bubble screen into a 65 yd TD by Tony Davis of EWU! 16-7 on failed PAT.

[AZGrizFan]

well, whadaya know....td eagles... xeyebrowx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Dropped the snap, no PAT

EWU 16, MSU 7

[Peems]

So if Eastern wins, will Bobby Hauck say that the Griz had a better year than Eastern?xeyebrowx

[FormerPokeCenter]

way to put in the backup QB lol

He's not your typical backup....he always gets a series or two in the second quarter, regardless of the situation...That's his first interception of the year, I believe. At one point in the year, he was 32 of 36 passing...

Our substitution patterns are a little confusing, too....We substitute everybody....running back by committee, OL by committe, DL by committee....

[yosef1969]

Just got in, can anyone provide link to live audio feed?

[AppMountaineer13]

Nice psychic abilitilities!

TD EASTERN WASHINGTON!

thank you

Gotcha

[yosef1969]

Thank you!

[thmst30]

Lest go EWU. Love to play you next week, really don't want App to have to travel to McNeese.

[AppMountaineer13]

9 point deficit is biggest the cowboys have faced all year?!? that's impressive.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Nicholls already has 256 yards

[AppMountaineer13]

sack to end the half...

16-7 EWU

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Eastern will be up 16-7 at the half, and will get the ball back to start the 3rd!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

SACK LUNCH BABY!!! NUM NUM NUM

[FormerPokeCenter]

Typically, we've been a second half team, though this year it hasn't really been necessary....

It should be interesting.

[APPride]

http://www.oldies1011.com/

EDUB...your guys are up for this game...xnodx

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Go Eags! If you win in Lake Charles you'll accomplish something the Griz haven't been able to :)

That along with advance in the playoffs this year :(

Make the Big Sky proud

[Peems]

Lest go EWU. Love to play you next week, really don't want App to have to travel to McNeese.

Be careful what you wish for...

[Obzerver]

not a bad first half...need to clean up a few things.

[thmst30]

Be careful what you wish for...
Well either way App will have to play a damn good team. So I'd just rather get to play @ home.

[B&G]

Could've been a lot worse for McNeese.

[APPride]

Be careful what you wish for...

well EW is surely a tough opponent, most of us just want to attend another home game!

[yosef1969]

Both teams present a challenge (especially with for Apps D) but if I have a wish, I'd like to see the game live and in person and that ain't happening if the game is in lake charles.

[gsugt1]

Lest go EWU. Love to play you next week, really don't want App to have to travel to McNeese.

I think if you win on the road you get a home game the next week.

[EdubAlum]

well EW is surely a tough opponent, most of us just want to attend another home game!

i wouldn't mind attending it with you:)

[AppMountaineer13]

I understand that the SLC player of the year is out of the game, but from the sounds of it, I think I'd rather play McNeese at this point in time.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Nevermind Nicholls has 155 yards lol...they fixed it on the game tracker I thought that was a little too good to be true

[Peems]

Understandable APP fans.

[Peems]

I think if you win on the road you get a home game the next week.


Not true at all. It's all the bidding process and App would surely outbid EWU

[Saint3333]

Be careful what you wish for...

I'd rather face a passing team at home than a rushing/balanced team on the road.

If ASU wasn't in the playoffs I'd be pulling for McNeese, but we're still in so go EWUxthumbsupx.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

ok it just changed back to 256...what is it? lol

[Saint3333]

Not true at all. It's all the bidding process and App would surely outbid EWU

The NCAA has already contacted ASU's AD and said if EWU wins they travel to Boone, there's still a lot of time remaining though.

[FormerPokeCenter]

I understand that the SLC player of the year is out of the game, but from the sounds of it, I think I'd rather play McNeese at this point in time.

Actually, the last two SLC Players of the year are out for this game...

Steven Whitehead, an All-American KR, who was our "go to" receiver was lost early in the year, as was our fastest tailback...

So far, though, other players have stepped up....

[GtFllsGriz]

Is this game being carried on any of the Fox Sports channels?

Go Eags!!!!

[Peems]

Is this game being carried on any of the Fox Sports channels?

Go Eags!!!!

I don't believe so, but you can listen to the radio webcast

[APPride]

i wouldn't mind attending it with you:)

that would be cool...did I just hear your AD say theres a chance the game would be @ EW if you did indeed out bid ASU?

[gsugt1]

Not true at all. It's all the bidding process and App would surely outbid EWU

My bad. I thought I had read that on the NCAA site.

[AZGrizFan]

The NCAA has already contacted ASU's AD and said if EWU wins they travel to Boone, there's still a lot of time remaining though.

xeyebrowx xeyebrowx xeyebrowx

They've contacted them WHEN? Since this game started? xconfusedx

[appfan2008]

that would be cool...did I just hear your AD say theres a chance the game would be @ EW if you did indeed out bid ASU?

how could they outbid asu???

[Peems]

My bad. I thought I had read that on the NCAA site.

No problemxpeacex

[Screamin_Eagle174]

that would be cool...did I just hear your AD say theres a chance the game would be @ EW if you did indeed out bid ASU?

Yep! But I don't think we could outbid Appy. xrotatehx

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Sure wish there was a VIDEO feed of this game. Just sounds like EWU wants it more. Seriously - a blocked FG attempt, the bubble screen for a TD... If it wasn't for the INT for a TD at the beginning of the game it would be a shutout!

I'm frankly surprised that McNeese's offense can't get any traction against the EWU defense. The Eagle defense is good, but they're not THAT good.

[appfan2008]

Yep! But I don't think we could outbid Appy. xrotatehx

I dont think so either!

[OldFootballGuy]

Yep! But I don't think we could outbid Appy. xrotatehx

The ASU radio crew announced on the postgame show that the NCAA had already contacted them and told them the game would be in Boone should EWU beat McNeese.

Maybe they are... maybe they've finally stepped up and started playing to their potential! :D

I agree though, if it wasn't for those first two pick, EWU would be rolling in both yards AND the scoreboard! xrulesx

We're moving the ball, but we're being sloppy and generous...

We'll see what we do in the second half....

[AppIAA]

im gonna sound like an idiot, but what is meant by a bid? Like what I am thinking it is and an auction?

[APPride]

I dont think so either!

I agree, just sounded like he was serving up the kool-aid cause he did say it as if it could go either way...

[Screamin_Eagle174]

im gonna sound like an idiot, but what is meant by a bid? Like what I am thinking it is and an auction?

Sort of... basically whoever pays the most to the NCAA gets to host

[AppIAA]

thanks.. thats what i figured

[MaximumBobcat]

Just checking in to see how Bryan Smith has done in the 1st half. He made SLC football player of the year. Anybody have a link that has live stats?

http://www.geauxcowboys.com/images/portland/img_1556.jpg

[yosef1969]

Teams not facing one of the 4 seeded teams place a monetary bid to host a playoff game. Home game goes to the highest bidder. Seeded team only have to meet the minimum bid requirement to host.

[appfan2008]

The ASU radio crew announced on the postgame show that the NCAA had already contacted them and told them the game would be in Boone should EWU beat McNeese.

thats good to hear but i didnt doubt it

[Screamin_Eagle174]

256 Yards Passing for Nichols... damn!
19/26 1 TD, 26 yards rushing on 5 attempts

and my favorite stat... 16 points before the half... over halfway to 30! :D

[AppMountaineer13]

Smith is not in the game.

Here's the link: http://ncaasports.cstv.com/gametracker/launch/gt_index_mfootbl.html?event=629254&school=ncaa&sport=mfootbl&camefrom=&startschool=&

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Smith is out with an injury, though he was listed on the depth chart before the game

[Screamin_Eagle174]

2nd Half, here we GOOOOOO!!!

[AppMountaineer13]

i love the homer-ism from the mcneese crew.. i know that app's crew isn't impartial, but the comment about mcneese making adjustments at halftime while EWU was just cheerleading was a little over the top... in a good way, i guess

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Hold on tight everybody, this could be a shootout! :D

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

A score on this opening drive will give a serious blow to McNeese's morale

[Screamin_Eagle174]

1st Down Eastern at the 48

[Screamin_Eagle174]

C'mon Aaron, stop dropping those passes! You didn't drop them against the Griz!

[AppMountaineer13]

TD EWU!!!

[DaGriz]

i love the homer-ism from the mcneese crew.. i know that app's crew isn't impartial, but the comment about mcneese making adjustments at halftime while EWU was just cheerleading was a little over the top... in a good way, i guess

Where is their radio link? I'd like to listen to their link instead.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Red Zone baby

[AppMountaineer13]

XP is good!! EWU leads 22-7

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

TOUCHDOWN EASTERN

[Yosef92]

TD xnodx xnodx

[AppMountaineer13]

Where is their radio link? I'd like to listen to their link instead.

http://www.broadcastmonsters.com/McNeese/mcneese.asx

sound is absolutely awful though... you've been forewarned

[Peems]

C'mon Aaron, stop dropping those passes! You didn't drop them against the Griz!

And you're still kicking ass!

[Obzerver]

watch EWU will go into a pass prevent defense like they did vs Sam Houston and UNI...and lose

[thmst30]

Wow, EWU proving to be a very good team in this first game. I knew they were good, but I honestly didn't expect this so far.

[EdubAlum]

And you're still kicking ass!

we've now scored more points on mcneese than any other team they've played this year....

[Peems]

watch EWU will go into a pass prevent defense like they did vs Sam Houston and UNI...and lose

Have faith, Wulff knows what can happen

[Yosef92]

UNH 21 UNI 24

[B&G]

Cowboys reeling? Too many injuries? Too weak of a schedule? Lots of time remaining but they need to get in gear b/c it's 23-7 and could be a lot worse.

[thmst30]

we've now scored more points on mcneese than any other team they've played this year....
Impressive

[Mountain Panther]

Go Eagles go!

[Bronco]

I just started listening. Is it a muddy field?
Go EWU

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Cowboys reeling? Too many injuries? Too weak of a schedule? Lots of time remaining but they need to get in gear b/c it's 23-7 and could be a lot worse.

well according to most on AGS a Big Fluffy Sky team would be considered part of a weak schedule xsmiley_wix

[Peems]

Cowboys reeling? Too many injuries? Too weak of a schedule? Lots of time remaining but they need to get in gear b/c it's 23-7 and could be a lot worse.

The McNeese fans have stated that they have had injuries all year and have been steam rolling the competition, they have also played decent teams, and even when they played "weak" ones they still killed them. Eastern is the hottest team in the country right now, and can score with anybody.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

COME ON REFS, CALL THE GAME!!!!

[Lehigh Football Nation]

Cowboys reeling? Too many injuries? Too weak of a schedule? Lots of time remaining but they need to get in gear b/c it's 23-7 and could be a lot worse.

They just seem real flat offensively, not sure why. On defense, they miss Smith in the worst way.

McNeese driving now though.

[appfan2008]

23-7?

Better pack your bags for Boone!!!

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Hold 'em to a field goal Eags!

[AppMountaineer13]

I just started listening. Is it a muddy field?
Go EWU

it sounds like it.. there have been a couple plays where guys have slipped on out routes and such

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I love the CSTV Gametracker... that's awesome!

[AppMountaineer13]

TD McNeese!!!

[APPride]

The McNeese fans have stated that they have had injuries all year and have been steam rolling the competition, they have also played decent teams, and even when they played "weak" ones they still killed them. Eastern is the hottest team in the country right now, and can score with anybody.

certainly getting our attention...hmmm...

[Lionsrking]

They just seem real flat offensively, not sure why. On defense, they miss Smith in the worst way.

McNeese driving now though.


McNeese's offense hinges on the ability to get the ball to their outside receivers in space. If the field is wet, it severely hampers what they can do. They aren't a smash mouth team even though they do have a pretty physical offensive line. Defensively, they're much better when they're playing with a lead and can pin their ears back.

[AppMountaineer13]

2 point conversion is good... 23-15 EWU 9:15 left in the 3rd

[B&G]

EWU is hot. I wasn't impressed with the teams they've beaten on that hot streak but now I think seeing, er, hearing on radio is believing.

McNeese TD on a 4th and GL at the 1... they needed that in a big way.

[appfan2008]

TD McNeese!!!

lets go step it up ewu!

[thmst30]

I love the CSTV Gametracker... that's awesome!
I think it should be standard for all FCS teams to use, its so damn informative and useful.

[AppMountaineer13]

I think it should be standard for all FCS teams to use, its so damn informative and useful.

i just wish it updated faster.. mine has yet to record the mcneese touchdown

[Lehigh Football Nation]

I wouldn't be counting on EWU coming to town just yet... there's a LOT of football to play

[Peems]

Eastern needs to answer, they are still moving the ball...

[Peems]

Big Run by Eastern 16 yards

[thmst30]

i just wish it updated faster.. mine has yet to record the mcneese touchdown

Really? Its the fastest updating tracker of any that I've tried.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

400 + yards for Eastern so far

[EdubAlum]

we need a touchdown here BAD.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

LETS GO EAGS!!!

[AppMountaineer13]

EWU has 1st and goal at the one.. they need to punch it in right here

[AppMountaineer13]

check that.. TD EWU!!!

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Eags at the 1 get a TD!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Wooooo, Go GO GOO little MO MO!

[Kaduce]

td!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AZGrizFan]

as we Griz fans have been saying for weeks....unstoppable. xnodx xnodx

[thecardiackid]

TD Eagles! Morris has been huge today.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Eagles offense is kicking some serious butt

[EdubAlum]

keep the pressure, don't let down eagles.

[B&G]

TD E-Dub... McNeese D is having no luck stopping them.

[AppMountaineer13]

Really? Its the fastest updating tracker of any that I've tried.

the tracker that app and some of the other teams use (elon comes to mind) aren't as nifty, but generally update the plays relatively quickly.. it could be that my comp. is a piece of crap, but in my experience the CSTV tracker is the slowest one i've used.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

as we Griz fans have been saying for weeks....unstoppable. xnodx xnodx

I know right! All the doubters are getting a serious lesson in Eagle football and why we get nervous every time we play them xlolx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I wish so and so would have taken that bet earlier this week.... just proved me right... EWU got to 30... and there's still a quarter to play!

[EdubAlum]

I wish so and so would have taken that bet earlier this week.... just proved me right... EWU got to 30... and there's still a quarter to play!

no kidding

[Yosef92]

SACK! xrotatehx

[TokyoGriz]

Keep going Eagles!

[AZGrizFan]

Eagles D is steppin' up!!! xnodx xnodx

[Screamin_Eagle174]

SACK LUNCH BABY!!! V V V NUM NUM NUM!!!

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Kinda ironic someone named Peach can do so much damage

[CamelCityAppFan]

So has McNeese had to play from behind this year? I'd say blowing out inferior opponents and playing the bench in the 2nd half all year hasn't really prepped them for a playoff run...

[Lehigh Football Nation]

If EWU scores here after this punt by McNeese? It's over...

[thmst30]

TD UNH, back and forth, back and forth the scoring goes. 31-28. Keep it up EWU as well.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I hope that rain starts back up... Nichol's arm is going to catch fire he's so hot right now! :D

[patssle]

I'd say blowing out inferior opponents and playing the bench in the 2nd half all year hasn't really prepped them for a playoff run...

I've been saying it all year. McNeese and Montana both have cupcake schedules....McNeese espesially with another weak SLC year. Respect has to be earned...not given.

[MSU_77]

You guys have a hell of an offense.

[Screamin_Eagle174]

346 yards passing in 3 quarters!???? Are you kidding me!???? Who is this guy, Tom Brady? :)

[AZGrizFan]

I hope that rain starts back up... Nichol's arm is going to catch fire he's so hot right now! :D

You know, as a Griz fan, I'm getting just a bit tired of having QB-envy of the Eagles....seems like it's been that way for about 5 years now.... xcoolx xcoolx xcoolx

[Yosef92]

Speaking of that GameTrack, Mine is still on 24-21 for UNI/UNH. Slow xsmhx

[thmst30]

We know he can pass, but can he scramble? Thats ASU's nightmare.

[EdubAlum]

You guys have a hell of an offense.

I have to credit the defense for the score right now though...

[thmst30]

Speaking of that GameTrack, Mine is still on 24-21 for UNI/UNH. Slow xsmhx

? Who knows, mine updates practically right after every play.

[Peems]

I've been saying it all year. McNeese and Montana both have cupcake schedules....McNeese espesially with another weak SLC year. Respect has to be earned...not given.

Yes you have, beating a dead horse. The Griz did not lose today because of their weak schedule, that's just a stupid argument, the Griz lost because Wofford beat them and the game could have gone the other way, based on just a few things, it was a great game. McNeese ran into the hottest team in the country and no one has been able to stop them since the Griz game

[diznanl]

Peach is a monster! And we have such a powerful receiving corps and Nichols has just matured and matured all year. Sooooo nice to hear them again. Sounds like the SIU game from 2004...

[Obzerver]

Say away from the pass prevent d!!!!!!

[Yosef92]

Weird cause EW/McNeese is right on time

[Screamin_Eagle174]

We know he can pass, but can he scramble? Thats ASU's nightmare.

He had 103 scramble yards against Weber in the season finale!

[thmst30]

Weird cause EW/McNeese is right on time

You using CSTV or ESPN. Because ESPN is always WAY behind.

[B&G]

This drive is backbreaking assuming EWU scores.

[thmst30]

He had 103 scramble yards against Weber in the season finale!

Well **** Come on McNeese St. :D jk

[Lionsrking]

So has McNeese had to play from behind this year? I'd say blowing out inferior opponents and playing the bench in the 2nd half all year hasn't really prepped them for a playoff run...

I think they may have trailed briefly against Portland State and UL-Lafayette but more often than not, they've been able to jump on teams and force them to play catch up. People have moved the ball against them, but they did a great job playing red zone defense and the big leads covered up their warts. Sounds like EWU is finally an opponent who could slow down their offense and get ahead. I'm sure the rain and sloppy field hasn't helped either.

[ncbears]

audio link??

[Tailbone]

You know, as a Griz fan, I'm getting just a bit tired of having QB-envy of the Eagles....seems like it's been that way for about 5 years now.... xcoolx xcoolx xcoolx

Nothing wrong with Bergquist.
It's the piss-poor offense he has to play from.

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

EWU about to put this one away

[blackfordpu]

What is going on in Lake Charles tonight? Every time I look EWU has the ball back. Cowboys having a log of three and outs?

[Screamin_Eagle174]

TD EASTERN WASHINGTON!!!! START THE PLANE FOLKS!!!

He's been talking to his brother Mo Mo, the Seahawks new starting back! :D

Crying in the stands...

Crying in the stands...

I would not start the trash talk until the clock reads 0:00.

[Obzerver]

Still not comfortable, been in a similiar situation before.

[MSU_77]

Crying in the stands...

Well, I'm crying at home in Virginia. Congratulations to EWU. Your team put it all together tonight.

[EdubAlum]

PICK AGAIN!!!!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

INTERCEPTION!!!

[EdubAlum]

I would not start the trash talk until the clock reads 0:00.

2004 ring a bell?

that advice is esp true coming from a Sam Houston State fan whose team ruined my 2004 (EDIT)....

[Screamin_Eagle174]

Maybe Maurice should be talking to Dale? Sheesh, Morris is on fire!

[Peems]

I'm glad the Big Sky won't be going 0-fer

This is a laugher.

Just heard a good portion of the crowd has left.

[thecardiackid]

Unreal. This must be the worst game McNeese has ever played.

Go EAGS!

[griz_fan_in_SanDiego]

Way to Go Eags...go get a NC for the Big Sky! Good luck in Boone

[Griz40]

Wrong thread but thanks for the update.
not the wrong thread some of us like the updates

[MSU_77]

App State better not take EWU lightly next week. Of course I doubt they will after the JMU game.

[blackfordpu]

Unreal. This must be the worst game McNeese has ever played.

Go EAGS!

Doesn't surprise me at all. McNeese has been patting themselves on the back for plowing through the SLC this season. Really was not tested much at all because the SLC was WAY down this season. Went to the playoffs thinking they were all that and a bag of chips, turns out the bag was empty.

[patssle]

Embarassing for McNeese and the SLC. SLC has just sucked the past 2 years....the best we can offer can't even keep it close.

And you're an a**hole. I don't think if you look you'll find a single Cowboy fan who thought EWU could not win this game. We're dissapointed that the D couldn't find a way to stop their offense. We'll see if App State can figure it out next week.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Well....perhaps you guys can go rent a few more troubled transfers and show us how it's done??

[B&G]

I'm interested to know if McNeese fans will be cheering ASU or EWU next week.

[FormerPokeCenter]

Congratulations to EWU....Great team, Great Scheme...We didn't have an answer....

[FormerPokeCenter]

EWU beat us, so....I think I'm honor bound to pull for them. It always looks better when the team that beat you does well ;)

let me finish your statement for you.

Is this as big of a win as NAU 4 years ago? xwhistlex

[MSU_77]

Hey, I'm pulling for EWU to go all the way. With that scoring machine, I wouldn't be surprised. Congratulations, you were the much better team tonight.

[putter]

Way to represent the Big Fluff conference and good luck against App!!

[Screamin_Eagle174]

I keep seeing predictions that have EWU scoring 30+. I find that interesting because McNeese has yet to allow more than 21 all year. Add in the weather, and I just don't see that kind of score happening.

Mmmmmmmmm, crow. :D

[blackfordpu]

And you're an a**hole. I don't think if you look you'll find a single Cowboy fan who thought EWU could not win this game. We're dissapointed that the D couldn't find a way to stop their offense. We'll see if App State can figure it out next week.

Can we say uncalled for?

I'm just calling it how I see it. Poke fans have been trash talking their opponents all year. Pride is a dangerous trait.

I can link to the posts if you really want me to in my spare time (I don't have much).

Great Job Eastern! Do what we couldn't and beat a southern conference team!

Thank you for proving my point.

[Prominentwon]

When you don't put pressure on the QB, 600+ yards offense is what happens. You put pressure on the kid and you can slow them down. This game was completely embarrassing. McNeese is a better team than that and with everyone paying attention, they go and blow it like this. I'm not making excuses, the best thing that could have happened for EWU was it to rain 6 inches and our All American DE not playing. I'm completely irritated with this loss. EWU punted ONCE. One damn time . Inexcusable.

Either way, I hope App St. beats them. I didn't like some of the cocky attitude and gestures from some of the EWU guys anyhow. I'll say it just like I said it last year. Big Sky lives and dies by the holding penalty. just like Montana did it last year, there were multiple times EWU did it this year.

Go App. I don't care what I look like saying any of this.

You look like a blue cowboy riding a horse with a big ass yellow M necklace. :)

[Lionsrking]

Without benefit of seeing the game, I have to think the weather played a big role in hampering McNeese's big play ability. They like to run a lot of bubblescreens and hitches and rely on their explosvie outside WRs to make plays. Take that away or slow them down and they aren't nearly the same offensively. And no question not having Smith takes away from their ability to pressure the QB. They were suspect in the secondary as it was, and not having a pass rush really hurt them it seems like. Plus it's tough to rush the passer on a wet field. Eastern Washington had a wet field too and they made out alright, but I think it's a more competitive game on a dry field.

[Blazerbird]

Eastern lives to play another week. I for one am sad to see the Griz go down but I'm sure coach Wulff will have the Eagles prepared for another tough game and will represent the Big Sky well. Congratulations to the Eagles and to Eagle fans everywhere!

That must mean McNeese lives and dies by the PI and unnecessary roughness! There were at least 3 times they weren't called. Not like MSU would have won had the calls been made anyway...

OK... that's just stupid. I'm pretty sure the Big Sky Conference calls more holding penalties than any other conference (they certainly call more total penalties than any other conference).

Every team gets away with holding on most every play. Unless it's blatant, the refs aren't going to call it.

don't try to bring that up! Will just be an excuse! God forbid. This loss is hard. Especially with the way it all unfolded.

I don't think it's an excuse, it's pretty much fact. In the end it doesn't matter because the circumstances were what they were and you lost the game to a very good and underrated football team, but it's safe to say you guys weren't the same team that steamrolled through the SLC.

[pokefan02]

EW better hope for officials who don't call holding. #81 held every play he blocked on. don't believe me watch the film.

[saccat]

Holding doesn't lose you a game 44-15. Even if it is on every play

[Griz40]

Why? His holding kept your offense from scoring?

[McNeese_beat]

EW better hope for officials who don't call holding. #81 held every play he blocked on. don't believe me watch the film.

Maybe the Southland Conference calls too much holding. Last year, McNeese fans complained about Montana holding. In 2003, they complained about NAU.

Well guess what, THESE AREN'T BIG SKY OFFICIALS.

Apparently, what McNeese fans think is holding isn't holding anywhere else because you have all kinds of conference officials (today was the Patriot, I think) NOT calling Big Sky holds...

[B&G]

Well damn, if the refs aren't calling it then your team should start holding too. Play the game as the refs allow. That's your team's fault for not adjusting. Unless the calls are one sided you have no gripe.

I can't stand that! Whenever a team loses, even by 29-fricking points, some fool wants to come and blame the officials. Jesus Christ, the officials weren't completing all those passes and they sure weren't executing those screen passes.

That irritates me. Be gracious for chrissake people!!!

Good call! I'm surprised.....I like McNeese.....you are the only one who has any sense tho!

I have to also pipe in that I didn't know there were more than two EWU posters here.

Winning brings them, I guess, unless you're Weber State, when Mike Johnson and Weberrrrrr may post twice before disappearing again.

[grizdax]

How did EWU do it? It's not even possible?!!! Boy! This can't be happening....There's no way a team from the West Beat the SouthEast....I mean it's already weird enough that the Weak Griz only lost by one last second point to the SoCon Champion.....It blows my mind that the Second best Big Sky team (who lost to the Griz) Beat the team that the selection commitee pushed ahead of the Griz.......Not possible......Guess, we'll have to really put our EAST COAST BIASED HEADS TOGETHER ON THIS ONE>.

xlolx East Coast bias? McNeese?xlolx Me thinks you need a geography lesson!xlolx

What EWU did was expose a Southland Conference that remains very suspect. I took a look at South Dakota State's schedule this year and found the following. They played four teams from the Gateway and SoCon, and lost all four games. They played three teams from the Southland, and won all three by a combined score of 121-13. Nuff said.

Exactly what I was thinking when wondering how they were so high in the polls. South Dakota State has all but walked through the Southland the last two years and they have not compared to the Great West or Gateway teams.

The bigger question is, how the heck did EWU lose to Portland State and only score 17 points on Northern Colorado?

Another thing...I don't know if EWU...at least when it's playing well... is the second best team from the Big Sky at this point.

Only question is whether they're going to play every week like they did last night and like they did against Montana (at least in terms of moving the football) or are they going to play like they did against Portland State and Northern Colorado.

For App State fans: I think McNeese made a huge strategic error by deciding to play zone and keep everything in front of them while rushing four most of the time. They couldn't get any pressure and EWU just kept moving the chains. Then eventually the defense got tired and they started running the ball real well.

I think the next team would do well to take its chances and play pressure defense.

I think they got an injured receiver back (No. 20) and once he got heallthy the offense really started rolling. The other key that was mentioned was after the BYU game and they got to 3 losses, they really circled the wagons.

The Montana game gave them confidence, but it also made them realize that close wasn't good enough.

So they got focused in at the right time. They turned the corner at Northern Arizona and they've rolled with maybe their three best games in a row.

[JohnStOnge]

Exactly what I was thinking when wondering how they were so high in the polls. South Dakota State has all but walked through the Southland the last two years and they have not compared to the Great West or Gateway teams.

The Southland has certainly been down over the past two seasons and the way McNeese played last night didn't help its reputation. But it's only been two years (2005) since it had one team lose a very competetive
14-12 playoff game at Furman...which had a team that was as good as anybody's but lost to App because the QB slipped and fell without getting touched when he was about to run in for the game clinching TD...and another lose in the semifinals in overtime. The year before that (2004) it had a team in the semifinals and in 2002 had a team in the championship game (and that lost 34-13 in a rematch against a team it beat 38-13 during the regular season).

It IS frustrating that the league isn't better though because its "footprint" is in an area that's as good as it gets as far as football talent production goes. It's true that they have to compete with a bunch of FBS schools that arguably ought to be in FCS for players but the Gateway has to do that too. There's no reason, at least as far as being located in fertile recruiting grounds go, that the Southland ought not to be as strong as any FCS league.

Look at the visual below from a 2004 Rivals article on where NFL talent comes from. The bigger the green disc, the more talent production. Look at the are where the Gateway is distributed then look at the area where the Southland is distributed (East Texas, Louisiana, and now Arkansas) and you can see the source of my frustration.

I'm beginning to think that this one of the main reasons why the southland is so weak. Yes SLC is in very fertile recruiting grounds, but the competition for student athletes is downright brutal in Texas and Louisiana. Sleepers are extremely rare nowadays, especially for those linemen with speed and quickness.
If you look at our 2005 season we had several players from outside Texas. I think we will all have to look cherry pick from around the nation to remain competitive.

I'll be shocked if App State doesn't play a lot of man on man coverage if they watch the McNeese film. Also, one thing App needs to avoid...and I think they probably will...is something McNeese did: Move the ball well early but fail to score. The Cowboys played EWU pretty even in the first half. They moved the chains and kept the EWU offense off the field pretty well. But they failed to score on two trips to the 5 and 10 yard lines. On the first, they fumbled at the five. On the second, from the 10, EWU blew coverages on two consecutive plays so that easy TDs were available but the Cowboy QB didn't see the wide open receivers. Then the field goal was kicked low into the line.

That was part of a sequence that I think killed any chance for McNeese to stay in the game. The score was 10-7 EWU and the blown coverages gave the Cowboys a chance to take a 14-10 lead. Instead, they didn't score. They did stop Eastern Washington and get the ball back, but on the first play they threw into double coverage and got intercepted. EWU then scored on a big play with a minute left in the half. I think McNeese had a legitimate shot to go into halftime with a 14-10 lead and instead went in down 16 - 7. Then EWU got the second half kickoff, scored and went up by 16. McNeese did put up one more long drive but it got to the point where the Cowboys had to come out of their normal offense and go into catchup mode. Didn't work, defense stayed on the field more and got completely gassed, things got worse.

It was a "good one" only through the first 29 or so minutes of the first half. That's when the first crack appeared in the dam.

Now, if you were pulling for Eastern Washington, it was a great one all around.

[McNeese75]

Mmmmmmmmm, crow. :D

My My, we are feeling good today aren't we.

Congrats to the Eagles and a great game. No excuses here, the better team on the field last night won. Now as far as your gloating and BS, enjoy the win but you better check that crap at the door because you are on the road for the duration and if Nichols flinches against ASU you could very easily end up on the other end of the score you saw last night.

Seems like there is a guy on the mountain with the last name of Lynch that will be waiting next week.

Good luck!! xthumbsupx

[CowboyUp]

As I sat here and watched this game unfold, I never could understand the way the defense was being run at all. They ran zone nearly ALL GAME LONG. I'm watching the cornerbacks back 7-10 yards off the receivers on the ends. There were four instances that I remember them running man to man coverage. Guess what, the EWU qb threw incompletions EVERY TIME McN ran man to man. They were getting NO PRESSURE on the qb at all. The linebackers were getting dropped back into coverage. Most of the time they were just rushing four, and when you do that you dearly miss someone like Bryan Smith. The defense just hasn't been the same since the 2002 team. The defense in 2003 was even worse than this years defense. The 16 ppg that this years defense was allowing was somewhat deceiving. The Cowboys were letting up loads of yards in games but were very opportunistic when teams entered the red zone. I had a feeling that could eventually catch up with them and it did. It's just disappointing that there were no halftime adjustments made. WHERE IS KIRBY BRUCHHAUS WHEN YOU NEED HIM!!!!!!

I seem to recall a jailbreak blitz that turned into a 60-something yard screen pass for a touchdown just before halftime.

I think McNeese blitzed more and played more man than some here think...

My brother just read me something out of an article that you probably wrote. It was quoting a guy from EWU saying that they knew McNeese had real good speed on defense so their approach was to do a lot of crossing stuff designed to mess up the coverages. It sure worked. Frustrating to watch too. Lots of times when they had guys crossing short wide open with nobody anywhere around them. Completely uncovered.

Kind of interesting because I heard an interview with Viator before the game and if I'm remembering correctly I think he said Eastern Washington likes to go verticle. So it could be that EWU kind of changed its tendencies from what was expected.

That's just it, with Todd Sturdy's (our new OC) play calling, we have quite a few different weapons, and really no tendencies. We have a number of different looks and personell packages and use a lot of motion and misdirection plays. I think we have more of a tendency to throw underneath (probably because that is what's given), but we certainly can work the vertical passing game as well. And since this is a new system, we have gotten better as the season has progressed (except for UNC).

Damn, where were you at half-time last night? Obviously you have the great defensive mind we needed to make those adjustments you keep talking about. The Bruchhaus comment is about as idiotic as anything I have ever heard. (Remember he had his chance and it was a complete CF)

Give credit where credit is due. The EWU was checking off receivers very quickly and a lot of those throws over the middle were not to the primary receiver but the 2nd, 3rd or even 4th.

[msusig]

Poor attendance at the game & where was the McNeese defense. Oh I know where....sitting on the sideline with Bryan Smith. They should have thrown in that guy no matter how hurt he was. The offense did ok except for giving up the ball like they did. But the defense was horrible. That was one of the worst ones I've had to sit through at The Hole. Never can understand why McNeese just turns to crap when the first round of the playoffs come around. Viator better get back to the drawing board and pick up some players for the defense next year so I don't have to witness that again. Oh and who ever plays the music at half time better not play that stupid "soldier boy" song again.xoopsx

I think being undefeated going into the playoffs is a big disadvantage because some focus gets diverted by "the streak" subconcious or not. It also inspires the hell out of any opponent worthy of the name.

Viator better get back to the drawing board and pick up some players for the defense next year so I don't have to witness that again. Oh and who ever plays the music at half time better not play that stupid "soldier boy" song again.xoopsx

xrolleyesx I'm sure Matt is going to run right out and take care of that for you
