News and notes
I've been off for a few days, enjoying the coast before we ramp up for fall quarter. Some tidbits about Eastern in the news over the last week.
-The football team has opened fall camp with that optimism we all feel at the start of something new.
-The men's basketball team will take part in the Great Alaska Shootout - a 'preseason' hoops tournament that will give new coach Kirk Earlywine and his team some tough but necessary competition as they try to turn the program around. Let's put it this way, you're not going to get better by playing Vocational Tech State to open the season.
-Still a lot of chatter in Seattle about Seahawks training camp in Kirkland, away from the heat in Cheney. Many players insist they love the cooler temperatures, but some experts say the summer heat on this side of the state made them tougher and could impact them just a bit in some situations this season. Who knows.
Hey, start something big.
