No more "3" for Eastern Washington
Because Rodney Stuckey became the first basketball player - and I'm pretty sure the only athlete ever - in Eastern Washington University history to have his jersey retired. Reese Court was packed (kind of) and the Detroit Pistons start put on a good face for the fans at the Sunday afternoon game against Weber State.Eastern lost the matchup 77-69, but at Stuckey didn't miss a shot.
He did however, have a nice argyle sweater on. What can I say, the guy is a nice dresser.
It's kind of funny that he only played two years at the school, prompting one of my friends, Shane, to say "somebody is going to see the years on that jersey and say 'what? did somebody die in an automobile accident?'"
That along with making fun of a sub-leprechaun player on Weber State's team and some guy named Lillard, equaled a pretty fun afternoon. If Eastern Washington could make a tradition of retiring numbers, I wouldn't complain at all.

Best and Worst of Big Sky Helmets
I found this site while cruising around the Internet tonight. It showed all of the football helmets used in the Big Sky Confrence. But the coolest part was that it showed the past helmets as well.
For the link CLICK HERE.
But let me tell you about some of my favorites.
First off, I think the BEST helmet would go to the Idaho State Bengals of 1962.
I love the way the helmet logo is the state shape, and then it says STATE. I think that is crisp, clean and very original.
The SECOND BEST helmet would go to the Portland State Vikings of 1999-2001.
The white and green really flow together and the viking is futuristic and badass.
The THIRD BEST helmet has to go to (I can't believe I am going to write this) but the Montana Grizzlies of 1988-1995.
Now stay with me for a moment. The graphic doesn't do the colors justice. The real colors of the helmet were gold paint, with a copper logo and a silver facemask. Here's why:
The University of Montana's official colors have for many years been silver, copper, and gold (in recognition of the state's mining industry), but a set of "spirit colors" which are used by the school's athletic teams was adopted in about 1996; these are maroon, silver, and gold.
Any school that uses copper in its scheme can't be that bad right? Right? Ok, I like their helmet, still not their school.
The U of M actually brought back the uniforms this season for their home game against Montana State. The uniforms are terribly ugly, but the helmets are cool.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love stuff from random schools. I own many random college t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats simply because they look original. That is why the Griz make the list. Based on appearance alone.
HONORABLE MENTION: The Eastern Washington Eagles of 2000-present.
The red is great, the logo is great, but just misses the top 3.
Which leads me to the top 3 WORST helmets in the history of the Big Sky teams.
The WORST helmet goes to the Idaho State Bengals of 1992-1996.
Yes, Idaho State had the coolest and the ugliest helmets over the years. They also have had 22 helmets since 1960. PICK ONE ALREADY!!!
But I don't like this helmet because they stole the University of Miami "U" and tried to jam it in there with the "IS". WAY too much going on.
The SECOND worst helmet goes to the Sacramento State Hornets of 2001.
Yeah. The helmet says SAC on it. Nice.
And finally, the THIRD worst helmet goes to the Montana State Bobcats of 1961.
Look closely at this helmet. It looks like a knock off of the University of Michigan. I see that the front lines make an "M", for Montana. But seriously? Who thought that was a good design?
Honorable mention: The Weber State Wildcats of 1980-1996.
Purple and white. Bad. Giant "W" with an arrow pointing forward. Bad. Used it for 16 years. Bad.
And that is my top 3 best and worst of football helmets of the teams in the Big Sky history.
