4-1 EMU/5-0 WMU Posbang

Submitted by Bambi on

I'm sure we probably have quite a few EMU fans/alum on the board. EMU squeaked by Bowling Green on the road yesterday to move to 4-1 on the year, the only loss being @Missouri. 4 wins is the most that than EMU has had since 2011 and EMU is now 2-3 wins away from going bowling for the 2nd time ever!

And while we're at it, lets throw WMU in the mix. WMU went to Central last night and destroyed CMU 49-10 to move to 5-0 on the season. Western has already been receiving votes in the polls and will probably move into the top 25 farily soon. They have a great shot of going undefeated and being the G5 team to make the most noise this year outside of Houston. PJ Fleck has built and incredibly strong program down in Kalamazoo and will be a hot name in the coaching carousel this offseason.

And to cap it off, lets celebrate the fact that MSU has the worst record of any of the D1 Michigan schools and is the only one without a winning record! It's great to be anyone but a Spartan, and of course a Wolverine!

Even growing up in the area, I rarely heard people explicitly refer to it as "the brick dick" even though several sites mention it as a nickname. It could be that this legacy to the prowess of Demetrius Ypsilanti is such a fact of life that I never really paid attention to what people called it, but then I was always so busy trying to find creative ways to explain it myself.

I'm a 1981 WMU grad. Couldn't be more proud of how PJ has transformed that program. Alas, he won't be there long and he may very well be coaching against Harbaugh sooner than we think!

Class of 79. Fun to see the Broncos not just relevant but really good. I work with a lot of Chip alum, will be a fun day to walk into work tomorrow. K'zoo has to be pretty excited. Great way to cap off a fantastic Saturday of football, UM++, and what happened in Bloomington brought a smile to this face, too.

but EMU found a coach that could get them to 4-1. If they don't collapse, Chris Creighton should get looks from other places where it's very difficult to win. Seems like just the type of coach Purdue likes to hire.

EMU had been padding attendance for years by playing games at Ford Field and relying on comped tickets to those games to keep above the FBS minimum requirements. There are those of us who think EMU would be better off as an FCS program, but it can't really be forced on them
