    NEWS SERVICES REPORTS|Updated Aug 16, 2018

    Just eight votes separate the two Big Sky Conference rivals who will settle things on the field Oct. 13 in Ogden, Utah. But there is a great deal of football to be played in the weeks leading up to that showdown. Eastern is picked to win the Big Sky Conference title by the league’s head coaches and media, and Weber State is EWU’s only 2018 opponent ranked in the top 25 in the AFCA poll. Montana is No. 25, but the Eagles and Grizzlies don’t play this season. Three other league teams EWU does play received enough votes by th...

"Three out of the last four years we've had this issue; there's not a lot we can do about it." Kallem said, however, that in his estimation the smoke is not as much of...

  • The colors of EWU football success

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Aug 16, 2018

    As was illustrated in a story in the 2015 Cheney Free Press Homecoming special section for Eastern Washington University, what the early Eagles - or Savages way back when - wore on the field used to be pretty simple. Red jerseys at home with white pants or all white -well as white as possible - with streaks of green grass stains. That was then. Now, there could be a bet and odds in Las Vegas (or Northern Quest) on what color combination the Eagles might wear on any given game...
