Dear holy bovine,
I was attending Eastern's games from 1967 on as an alum. It was very exciting having Dan Boisture as the coach and Frosty Ferzacca as athletic director. Eastern was giving scholarships for the first time in a decade, and winning football games.
Most of us did not know where some of the schools we were playing were located, but we were winning and that was what was important. McNeese State, Murray State, Northeastern, Waynesburg, were just a few in that category.
President Sponberg said, "I want the band to be proud when they were playing at half time". Those were exciting times.
