The Eagles are one of the most well known teams in the area. One of the more important reasons for that fame, besides the skill of their players is the Inferno; the name by which their home stadium Roos Field is known owing to the unique fact that it has a red playing surface. But that is not the only reason for the fame of the Eagles. The 'Eags' go back a long way back to 1901 when they first assembled a football team. They have come a long way since then when they were called the 'Savages.' But since Eagles were a more regionally appropriate mascot, the old one was replaced. The Eags take part in the NCAA Division I where they play in the Football Championship Subdivision. In addition to this, they are also a regular member of the Big Sky Conference. The Eags had to wait a long time though for success and fame to come their way. They made their first appearance in the NAIA Football National Championship in 1977 where they lost in a nail biting contest to Fairmont State.

Their opponents are no lightweights either. The Huskies have a very long and distinguished history of their own. The first football team of the Huskies was formed in 1889. Over the course of the century, they have made several impressive records. These start from their 63 undefeated games record between 1907 and 1917. What is even more awe inspiring is that during this streak the Huskies won 39 games consecutively. This winning streak remains the second longest of its kind within the NCAA I till today.

The origin of their mascot dates back to 1923 when the student body decided to adopt a more animated and relatable mascot as opposed to their previous mascot which was the 'Sun Dodger.' So it was then that 'Harry the Husky' became the team mascot, sometimes replaced by the actual Alaskan Malamute Dubs to lead the team onto the playing field. With 4 National Championships under its belt, the Huskies know what it takes to go all the way. Buy Eastern Washington Eagles vs Washington Huskies tickets quickly before they sell out.
