Eastern Washington opens the Big Sky Conference portion of its 2009 football schedule against visiting Northern Colorado on Saturday.  Kickoff is set for 1:05 p.m. at Woodward Field, and we've got some links below to more information on the game.

For openers, we've got this link to a piece in the Greeley Tribune that deals with the confidence surrounding the Northern Colorado program following last weekend's win over San Diego. We've also included this link to the weekly press release issued by the Big Sky Conference, this link to the weekly game advance prepared by Eastern's sports information department, and this link to what the sports info folks at UNC say about the game.

Personally, I think the Bears are ready to start beating some Big Sky opponents, and I would be surprised to see them challenge Eastern in a big way.

My pick:  EWU 24, UNC 21

Anyone else?
