Congrats Eastern!

[Jackman]

Congrats, EWU. Apparently it's a bad strategy to put EWU down by multiple scores.

Congrats, EWU. Apparently it's a bad strategy to put EWU down by multiple scores.

I almost wish we had been dominated from the beginning, it would have given more time to mentally prepare for the loss. EWU came out of nowhere on fire that second half. Great job EWU, welcome to the championship club.

[AppMAN04]

Congrats EWU!!! Its good to finally see a team from the west take the crown and also to knock the CAA off of their high horse... Good game, the better team won..xnodx

There's nothing wrong with our horse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUl9_5kK9ts). 2nd place may be first loser, but I'll take that over a DNQ.

From a Montana fan, I'll agree with this! :)

[ngineer]

That was one exciting finish! Great game. Clearly, EWU made great adjustments in the second half, and Delaware made no counter. Congrats to the Eagles. They earned it.

[Anovafan]

Congrats EWU, as you no doubt saw this year, the edge for a NC is razor thin. When you got it, you got it, when you don't, you don't. Way to go tonight, it was a heck of a game.

[100%GRIZ]

Congrats Eagles - You earned my respect many years ago but solidified it today! You made all the Big Sky Proud!

[TheValleyRaider]

Congrats Eastern Washington Eagles! xhurrayx

A comeback for the ages for the national title. Enjoy every minute of it xthumbsupx xnodx xsmileyclapx

[GSUwinsagain]

Congrats to EWU Eagles !!! Great game, you earned it.

[dudeitsaid]

Congrats to EWU Football! What a great season, filled with games that were exciting, intense, and competitive. What a heck of a National Championship.

And congrats to Delaware on a great season. The Hens truly are a very talented and balanced team. Both teams represented their respective conferences and the FCS well. What a great game!

[jmufan999]

congrats eagles! you guys are really, really impressive. it was just clutch play after clutch play in big moments. very fun to watch.

[MountaineerMania54]

Awww don't be a sore loser... :)

[Dallas Demon]

Congrats Eagles, I was at the game and your team has a lot of heart to comeback like that for the championship win!

[The Eagle's Cliff]

Congrats to EWU!

[OL FU]

Congratulations to the Eagles. Tough loss for the Hens. Thanks to both teams for a great game.xsmileyclapx

[caribbeanhen]

congrats to EWU, you kept your composure when all appeared lost, in the end you just had better players on the field, your WR's are playmakers, very impressed with #3 and he's only a sophmore, when you put the pressure on Devlin, your guys found a way to hit him and rattle him a bit, Delaware had no answer when the pendelum swung the other way and i really dont blame the Delaware coaches, EWU just stepped up. Delawares has receivers that are good in the system (#19 excluded as he is actually good) but they dont have EWU type receivers and i think that hurt us in the end

[SpeedkingATL]

The EWU team has the hearts of Champions! Great comeback win and National Championship.

[darell1976]

Congrats Eagles!!!!! Its nice to see another national title go to the Big Sky!! Makes us Sioux fans even more excited to be joining!!!!!!!!!!! GO BIG SKY!!

[Bison Fan in NW MN]

Great run by the Eagles this year. Nice to have a "western" team win it all.

Hope the Bison get a rematch next year!!

[panther84]

Nice job EWU

[srgrizizen]

As a Griz fan, I probably shouldn't enjoy EWUs win as much as I did, but I loved it. Congrats Eagles! And the poster who said there is no shame in 2nd place is absolutely right. You beat a great team in Delaware.

[VUCats02]

Wow what a game! Couldn't watch it last night but DVR'd it and just watched it. Congrats EWU! After a very boring first half, the 2nd half was very entertaining. What a game!

[Tribe07]

Honestly EWU, I am impressed. Beating 'Nova and then UD is no easy task. In fact, I do believe W&M is the only other team in the nation to accomplish that same feat this year. Congratulations on a well-earned title!

[wofford92]

Great Game, Congratulations to EWU. They are a deserving team. Hens also great team... Two quality representatives of FCS.

[WileECoyote06]

That was a great game. At least the patrons in my bar thought so!

Congrats to Eastern Washington; what a gutty performance throughout the playoffs! xsmileyclapx

[silvertipgriz]

Congratz Eagles! And thank you for proving to the CAA and The Sports Network writers that there are other teams that can play football.

[bojeta]

Had me totally convinced you were going down after that first half!! Congratulations on the amazing comeback and thanks for an EXCITING evening!!! We had a blast! The look on the VP's face at the end of the game alone was worth it!! lol.

Go Cal Poly Mustangs in 2011!!!!

[bulldog]

Congrats EWU, as you no doubt saw this year, the edge for a NC is razor thin. When you got it, you got it, when you don't, you don't. Way to go tonight, it was a heck of a game.

Yeah, what he said!

Way to go, Eagles. You never panicked, made great halftime adjustments, and just came out and did what you had to do to win, which was pressure Devlin.... which puzzled me as to why Keeler didn't go with Pierce more. He was having a great game and EWU was leaving those incredible running lanes open up the middle.

Now, if you'll excuse me it's time for breakfast. My wife has prepared a scrumptious offering of crow and pancakes.

[GABison]

Congrats EWU. Well done!!! I like how your offense played to win, especially during the playoffs. You earned the NC.


Small comfort to know we took the National Champs into overtime at their field.

[Rekdiver]

I love the way everyone congrats EWU and then finds a way to make their team look better. Gentlemen, we are all in the rear view mirror no matter how you want to color it.

EWU, enjoy your reign as King for the year!

Well said. I humbly bow to EWU. Nice work on a great season!

[Ivytalk]

Congrats to EWU on a stirring comeback and an excellent season.

[SalukiJim]

Is it over? Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor??? Noooo!
Fantastically entertaining game, glad EWU made it to the top. Congrats!

[McNeese75]

Congrats to the Eagles, The new CAA Killer xnodx
