i was checking out anygivensaturday.com and read the big sky wrapup there. cookus from NAU was ejected in the 1st quarter for TARGETING! apparently he had a crackback block on a reverse that drew the flag. his replacement, a true freshman, was sacked 7 times as they struggled on offense. wow.
also, EWU's Gage Gabrud has been suspended for the upcoming UND game turning over the position to a freshman. reports are he and another player, a starting LB, were arrested for obstructing a police officer from making an arrest of another person. we need a EWU loss (they finish with Portland) to keep our slim playoff hopes alive.
I won't attend games there specifically because of those stands- haven't been in 3 years.
When I was a graduate student there I was able to enjoy free admission and the lower student seats (with their own special ramp), but the "reserved" better seats for non- students are an unnerving climb. Of course the free tickets I got were during the years Leadingham was quarterback, so free was the right price !
I restrict myself to pretty much just baseball games now, though I still don't trust that ramp at "The John". Seriously, couldn't have come up with a better nickname ?
I'm glad it's not just me. As I hiked those stairs last game, I wasn't completely confident. ... Some of us can recall temporary stands faltering a few times at Davis. I think once with yhe temporary end zone seats, another at the dachshund races outside Shields.
