Terrible news for EWU.  no buyout, this close to signing day.  I wonder what their recruits are thinks that were there this weekend.

Their OC left for Utah.  TE coach retired.  Big changes and little tome before signing day.

This is terrible news for EWU....but we have been in this type of situation recently. If EWU makes the right hire they will be just fine in the long run.

You are right in terms of the long-term prognosis, but this news won't do anything but hurt Eastern Washington in the short-term (2017 season), although the degree of interruption remains to be seen. EWU also has to replace a fair amount of on-the-field talent.

If they weren't before, UND should now definitely be the Big Sky Conference favorite in 2017!

Go UND!

Agreed. Talent will likely be down as they lose their top three receivers which will be a big hit. Then again, last off season I was certain that they would have a down year but I was wrong in a big way. Either way I am liking the regular season finale against them!

I refuse to count them as down until I see it on the field next year.

So the Bison catch them early next year when they are adjusting to new coaches and receivers.  Do we know yet when we face them?

Yes. You know when NDSU plays EWU but not UND? Interesting.

UND plays EWU in the regular season finale at the Alerus Center.

Only because I heard it on the news last night about the Bison playing in Cheney?

Yes - we have a drive-able road game next year!!!! Who's up for tailgating in Vermillion? 

Utah is my for sure road game because it is only a 6 hour drive...and that stadium they play in looks awesome. Vermillion is only 9 hours so I might make it if the stars align.

Be nice to see EWU beat the Bison, therefore helping the Bison play on the road in the playoffs. I could see the Bison losing a few games this year. They have won a few close games in last couple years, that could start to change. They are not the same team anymore, it's going to be fun football this coming season. I really like playing EWU at home the last game of the season, that'll be huge.

Their other two OOC games are against two of the worst 20 teams in FCS. At worst they will go into conference play at 2-1 and likely 3-0 since they are catching EWU in their first game.

IMO the MVFC will give them bigger challenges this year, and if EWU can beat them, there's a chance.

This sounds awfully petty. As if no UND hockey fan has ever sought consolation at the end of a season by noting the eventual tournament fate/success of the team that knocked out the Sioux.

The Bison run is epic, and historic, and deserving of as many superlatives as any NDSU fan can muster...let them be.

As are most of the trolls that come over here to rub our noses in it. So no, I will not "let them be". You reap what you sow.

NDSU to play Arizona in 2022. Nice to see PAC12 still scheduling FCS teams along with the Big 12, is the Big 10 the only one with a ban on FCS teams, I know they wanted more conferences to do it but I don't think the SEC did.
