Nic Sblendorio's last collegiate game will at least be very memorable. The Eastern Washington University senior wide receiver caught nine passes for 273 yards and a pair of touchdowns. One came when the ball bounced off his helmet, high into the air and he battled a pair of Viking defenders to corral the catch and race 60 yards for a score that gave his team a 24-14 second quarter lead....

Although he might really want to be working Saturday in the Football Championship Subdivision playoffs somewhere in the U.S.A., Eastern Washington University play-by-play broadcaster Larry Weir may like not having to race to from and through airports. Weir's recent schedule of travel on planes, trains, automobiles -and even buses - is enough to make one's head spin as he chased both EWU basketball and football teams across the West. His crazy schedule began on Nov. 10 when he...

FOOTBALL Sblendorio earns pair of awards A near record-breaking performance by wide receiver Nic Sblendorio earned him an honor on Sunday (Nov. 19), but earlier in the day the Eastern Washington University football team was dealt a shocking blow when it was not selected to play in the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. Eastern wrapped up a 7-4 finish overall and 6-2 record in league play with a 59-33 romp over Portland State on Saturday, a game in which the senior caught nine passes for 273 yards and a pair of...

Following back-to-back winless seasons, Medical Lake head football coach Mo Owen resigned his position Nov. 8. Owen, contacted for an interview, instead offered an emailed response. When asked how he knew the job needed to be in the hands of someone else he wrote, "By the end of the year we just weren't getting the job done." Owen, hired in the spring of 2016 following the retirement from coaching of Wes Hobbs, said at the time it had been a dream to try being a head coach aft...
So, in the end, the Eastern Washington University football team’s bid for another postseason appearance falls short. I should be joining the multitudes in Eagle Nation screaming “We got hosed” after Eastern was rejected for an at-large selection in the upcoming Football Championship Subdivision playoffs. After all, I think we did get hosed, and by all of the metrics presented since Sunday’s selection show, we probably did. Eastern finished the season ranked 17th in the STATS FCS Top-25 poll while Northern Arizona — who finis...
Nic Sblendorio's last collegiate game will at least be very memorable. The Eastern Washington University senior wide receiver caught nine passes for 273 yards and a pair of touchdowns. His were not just run-of-the-mill scores but long catch and runs. One came when the ball bounced off his helmet, high into the air and he battled a pair of Viking defenders to corral the catch and race 60 yards for a score that gave his team a 24-14 second quarter lead. The other put the...
