Eastern Washington opened fall camp, and here's my report on the always-high expectations and how the Eagles handle them. I also posted a post-practice blog that includes uncut videos of interviews with head coach Beau Baldwin and quarterback Vernon Adams. And if you're not on Twitter, you should be, since I (@srjimallen) post frequently from practice.

In fact, I'm heading there in about an hour and I haven't had breakfast yet, so here are a few more links, including the Oregonian's coverage of practice at Oregon State, the Eagles' first opponent. From Montana, the Missoulian has a feature on running back Jordan Canada, who as I recall had a huge day against the Eagles last year. Meanwhile, Montana State (which happens to be ranked second in the coaches' poll) is also dealing with the burden of high expectations; here is a report from the Bozeman Daily Chronicle. From the Toledo Blade, here's a feature on Rockets' linebacker Junior Sylvestre.
