Weber State Football Game Day Special: WSU v. EWU

Still ample opportunity for our Wildcats to get the football program back on track

The WSU Wildcats are back on the road this weekend, where they'll be meeting up this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. (MT), with Big Sky Conference rival Eastern Washington U, on the Eagles' butt-ugly home "turf." Kinda makes your eyes bleed, dunnit?

Roos Field, Cheney, WA

Here's the pre-game "hype" from the Standard-Examiner, which includes the somewhat "bitter-sweet" news that Coach Sears' "quarterback rotation dilemma" is over:

• QB Adamczyk leaves WSU football program
• Sears wants ‘W’ as souvenir of Cheney
• Wildcats could use a spark to save season

And here's the skinny from the the Eagles' hometown newspaper, the Cheney Free Press, which quite delicately, and in a highly sportsman-like manner, avoids any expression of over-confidence:

• Don't let Weber State's won-loss record fool you

Looking at the Vegas odds, however, we find that our WSU Wildcats are (surprise of surprises) 30-point underdogs, Uh-oh!

Remember, folks. With Weber State only one game outta first place, and with another seven games remaining to go, there's still ample opportunity for our Wildcats to get the football program back on track.

Right, Folks?

Repeat after me: Go Wildcats!

Update 10/5/13 8:14 p.m.:  Whatabummer.  Our WSU Wildcats fall to the EWU Eagles, by a score of  41-19.  Lookin' at the bright side however, WSU scored more points tonight than in the last three games, which is a victory of sorts, don'tcha think? And as an added consolation, the "Cats did beat the spread.
