WSU Game Homecoming Game Day Thread: Weber State v. Eastern Washington U.

Hey! Lets all lets all dress up in purple, get out to Stewart Stadium and "put some butts" into some seats

Wildcats Nation

Big doings today on the Weber State campus, where our so far 0-3 Weber State Wildcats will square off this evening versus 1-1 conference opponent Eastern Washington Eagles for WSU's first 2012 Big Sky Conference gridiron battle.  Kickoff is set for 6 p.m. at Stewart Stadium.  Hopefully rabid WSU fans will show up in force an a day which is shaping up for perfect football weather.

The Standard-Examiner has the pre-game story, of course:

• Wildcats hope first win comes on back of hot start 

Here's the full skinny from the Spokesman-Review, the Eagles' home town newspaper:

• Former colleagues on opposite sidelines at Eastern 

Added bonus from the Signpost:

• Ogden Becomes ‘Wildcat Nation’ for Homecoming

And we once again provide the online game audio broadcast link, for the home-bound or anyone else who can't make it to the stadium:

• KZNS-AM "The Zone" live streaming audio 

On the heels of an already back-breaking three-game opening non-conference schedule, our WSU Wildcats once again have their work cut out this week, facing the remnants of a 2010 FCS national champion Eagles team who still, even at this early point in the season boast a  # 9 FCS Top 25 poll rank. Yikes!

Our Wildcats desperately need your support this week; so what say you? Lets all dress up in purple, get out to the stadium and put some "butts into some seats" for once. No lame excuses, please.

How the heck can Ogden ever hope to become a college town, we ask, if we don't rabidly support our own home team?

Go "Wildcats Nation"!

Update 10:45 p.m:  Eagles over Wildcats, 32-26:

• Weber State football: Eastern Washington builds big lead, then hangs on against Wildcats 

Coulda been worse, we guess.
