Cooper Kupp chose a very special day to set yet another pass-catching record for the NCAA at Eastern Washington University. Among the questions being posed along the sidelines last Saturday during Senior Day with the legion of photographers who had hoped Kupp would indeed become the all-time leading pass catcher in NCAA Football Championship Subdivision history on the red at Roos Field were: A: What kind of catch would it be, long and spectacular or just routine? B: And who...

The game between the No. 3 team in the Football Championship Subdivision, Eastern Washington, and struggling Portland State always has a lot riding on it. It’s just that maybe some of the luster faded in 2016 off this often crazy high-scoring contest that is part of the Dam Cup series between the two most northwesterly schools in the Big Sky Conference. PSU had something of a Cinderella 2015 season with its stunning 24-17 win at Washington State to open a season. The V...

McGregor became the first fighter in UFC history to simultaneously hold championships in two different weight classes. Fighters like McGregor are a rar...

Eastern Washington dug itself just too deep of a hole in its first-ever NCAA soccer playoff game Nov. 12 in Los Angeles against the University of Southern California. The Eagles fell behind 3-0 in the first half to the Trojans, but Devan Talley’s goal on a header in the 59th minute that broke the shutout in a 3-1 loss was just too little, too late. The game was the first-ever NCAA Tournament game for Eastern’s soccer program. The 13 wins are a single-season record for the Eagl...
