It's playoff fever around Cheney, Washington today!
Eastern is the number one team in the nation and the number five seed into the FCS playoffs.
Check out this video that Brandon and I made about the Eastern gameday experience last year.

EWU to rename Woodward Field
Saw this on the KREM 2 website.
CHENEY -- Red turf isn't the only change planned for Eastern Washington University's football field. The school also plans the change the name of the field after graduate Michael Roos.
Known as Woodward Field for 73 years, EWU will change the name to Roos Field this fall. Roos played on the offensive line at Eastern from 2001-2005 and now stars for the NFL's Tennessee Titans.
Roos recently donated $500,000 to make the red turf possible at EWU. He also raises money for the school every year through the Michael Roos Foundation.
“We are thrilled to be able to acknowledge in this manner the incredible contributions Michael has made to Eastern Washington University,” said Eastern athletic director Bill Chaves. “We felt this was the most appropriate honor we could give him."
The date for the dedication of Roos Field is yet to be determined.

Photos of Montana Grizzly fans
Today is the big matchup between the Eastern Washington Eagles and the Montana Grizzlies. As you probably already know, I don't get along with Griz fans. But that's all in the past. I'm trying to turn over a new leaf by posting photos of Montana Grizzly fans.
Poor guy. This is the problem when your mascot is actually a ferocious predator in the wilderness. To his credit he said "I love the GRIZ... EEEYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" before he was eaten."
"Is that one of them fancy picture boxes that take those photo thingies! Hey Billy Bob! I think he's taking my photo! Hey don't do that, I'm pretty sure it will steal my soul!"
This is Montana's idea of fine sea food.
This is actually a mansion of one of the Montana Grizzly fans.
Either they've painted "Montana" on their chests are they are in serious need of medical attention.
Yes, the wave is still popular at Washington Grizzly Stadium. Even though it hit every other sporting venue in 1992, it just now reached Montana.
"Dude, this bear suit stinks." "I know, I don't ever take it off"
"He's just sleeping right? We're gonna take the photo and run away real quick like eh?"
The entrance to Washington Grizzly Stadium where you have to give the secret password "Cotten-Eye Joe"
Montana's economy at the moment.
The Port Authority of Montana. This is were all the ships from around the world dock in Montana.
Pretty sure he had to move to Montana after that foul ball mess.
Study hall in Montana.
An All-Pro NFL player from Mont... oh wait, this guy is from Eastern Washington University. For some reason I couldn't find any Griz All-Pro player photos in the NFL. Odd...

Eastern Washington University Red-White game
After spending the morning at Camp Cross in Couer d'Alene, I made a bee-line back to Cheney for the annual Red-White spring game of the Eastern Washington University football team. They may have had NCAA sanctions put against them so that they cannot reach the postseason next year, but it was sure nice to see some college football being played again. The weather was terrible - cold and slightly rainy - but apparently everyone decided to wear shorts to the event which boggled my bundled up mind. Here are some images from the event...
Meet senior tight end Nathan Overbay, who happens to be catching a touchdown pass in this photo. The thing about Overbay that stuck out in the Red-White game was that nobody could stop him. One drive consisted of Nichols just throwing the ball to him every single down (give or take). And there's nothing you can do about this guy - he's 6-5 and plays like he's about Dikembe Mutumbo's height. Eastern Washington could telegram the other team what plays they're going to throw to Overbay and there's nothing they could do about it - he's that talented.
Properly named Beau Baldwin yelling or chewing out a player or something on the sidelines. Is that not the best football name? It's right up there with Hayden Fox, Joe Paterno, Vince Lombardi and Knute Rockne. I'm just rooting for this guy to win a national championship so they can name the stadium or field after him.
"We're here at Beau Baldwin field for the Eagles vs. the Grizzlies. By the way, don't forget to stop by the Brandon Hansen concessions stands in the lower level."
That would be perfect.
Michael Roos, former EWU lineman and current Tennessee Titans player. Which instantly makes him one of my favorite people in the NFL. If he were a ginger - it would be perfect - but he's obviously bald. He does have his own Wikipedia page though - that's big-timing it.
Eastern Washington University quarterback Matt Nichols was the only signal caller with a blue jersey, meaning that all the backups actually got sacked. Which was entertaining, and sad for the backups.
Here's your new playmaker for the Eagles - Taiwan Jones - who switched from cornerback to running back and boy, is he going to be a playmaker. He had two long touchdown runs in the scrimmage prior to the Red-White game and scored twice today. After seeing him in person, he seems like the kind of guy that if you give him any sort of open space he'll be gone.
Aaron Boyce doing his thing. Big Sky cornerbacks take notice and make sure you can take a hit on your backside.
Okay, Eastern Washington Athletics, I'm sure this is athletic tape or something but PLEEEEASE put a white stripe on the helmets. See how cool this looks?
Is that Tony Davis striking a HEISMAN POSE?
Matt Nichols punting... no joke, they wont have another punter until fall. So Nichols took the punts and did quite well. He even had a one over 60 yards. Somebody get that quarterback a contract!
