Game day is almost here, and I'm as excited as anyone. I love my job, especially when I have a chance to write feature stories on Eastern players. Ever wonder what it's like to be Vernon Adams? This morning's story offers a glimpse behind the helmet. ... We had a great live chat yesterday, and here is the full transcript. ... Want all the details on Saturday's EWU-Sam Houston State game? Eastern has it all right here. ... The Eagles are also hosting a kickoff celebration tonight in downtown Spokane. I'll be there, but not until I interview a certain national sports radio personality (and EWU alum) who's flying into town this afternoon - look for that tomorrow, along with my game preview. Did I mention that I love this job? ... Elsewhere, Montana Western has updated its football home page, but that's all for now. ... The Washington Huskies get a tad more media coverage, including this Seattle Times story on the Husky freshmen. ... Montana State names a kicker and punter - and it's the same guy.
