      Tough Draw......but you got to play the best to be the best.....

      EWU has a great passing attack......that is going to be a challenge for us.....

      So much for wanting MSU to beat UM

        Looks like it's time to start focusing on pass defense. EWU and if UNI is to get by them UNH are pass-happy teams. Hopefully, our defense continues to show improvement as they have over the past four weeks. Folks need to get over their Turkey hangover and get to the UNI-Dome on Saturday!!

            I think someone needs to teach CF Panther about having faith in the PANTHERS! They can win this game!

              According to the playoff bracket UNI is basically the #8 seed. Does the selection committee really think that UNI is only the 8th best team in 1-AA? You'd think that conference champs wouldn't have to play each other in the first round.

                All of four of the teams in our bracket got AUTOMATIC BIDS!!! The committee just doesn't have much respect for teams winning their conference I guess. Especially the Gateway, even though I figured YSU would be left out. We definently got the toughest draw, but I have faith that our Panthers can come out and get some Wins. It's time to pack the Dome and show some pride on Saturday night at 7:00!!!
                Coach Whisenhunt 1/18/09. "There was never any complaints about not being named the starter, all he wanted was an opportunity and he took advantage of it. Kurt is probably one of the greatest individuals you'll ever meet. Kurt worked hard on a lot of things that a lot of times older quarterbacks aren't willing to do. That's a credit to his humility and his competitive drive, and the reason that we are here today in great part is what Kurt Warner has done for us."

                  Looks like we need to key in on what EWU calls "The E2 Passing Attack" E squared, Quarterback Erik Meyer and Wide Receiver Eric Kimble who had 83 connections in 2004 and 3,014 yards and 33 touchdowns in their careers together at EWU. Kimble is also closing in on Jerry Rice's 1-AA career touchdown record with 44 touchdowns in 45 games compared to Rice's 50 touchdowns in 41 games. Their only loss came at Montana and they only lost 28-31. They are definately pass heavy with 337 yards per game passing and 140 yrds per game rushing. Our rushing yards gained compared to their shows that we are a bit more balanced than they are. I think that if we get a crowd like the SIU game or bigger we can really effect these guys with the noise they play in an open stadium with an 8,600 person capacity.

                    record

                    Eastern Wash is 2-3 on the road this year including a 24-35 loss at San Jose State to start the year.

                    Common oppenents: Northern Arizona

                    NAU @ UNI: 41-17
                    EWU @ NAU: 42-14

                    Probably fairly even, of course I don't know if they turned the ball over 5 times!

                        "...the Northern Iowa men's basketball team reached the ultimate highs before hitting a devastating low. Unexpected success, followed by unimaginable failure. And they owned it -- all of it -- for the world to see. Like men. Like leaders. Like champions -- in a way no tournament bracket could ever define."

                          I don't understand the doom and gloom about this bracket. EWU is going to be a test, but so is almost any playoff game. If we win, I think New Hampshire is a VERY likley team to get upset righ taway, which could give us Colgate at HOME.

                            Thanks Saluki. We need 2 wins by the Gateway this weekend.

                              EWU won that game without 6 starters....
