SIAP-Looking ahead to Rutgers
September 12th, 2017 at 8:13 PM ^
No they still haven't beaten a power 5 team, but they did beat Rutgers. Which is... A fact... I guess
September 12th, 2017 at 8:30 PM ^
To bring them into the BI5 TEN! Expanding our cable market in Washtenaw county by .000003%
September 12th, 2017 at 8:14 PM ^
There was a few threads on it, but the search function sucks on this site.
Rutgers also had to pay them $850,000 to come to NJ. Historic win for EMU, and a much need payday for a program that almost shut down just two years ago.
September 12th, 2017 at 8:59 PM ^
Yeah, they were never under consideration by the university to shut down.
September 13th, 2017 at 7:57 AM ^
So it's sort of like a pathetic lonely dude that hires a hooker to come to his house, but the hooker comes and beats the shit out of him, takes his money and wallet, then shames him online by posting his stolen driver's license and the fact that he likes hookers everywhere?
FYI, in thie analogy, EMU is a tough hooker and Rutgers is a pathetic old man. I think that pretty much fits...

I think you mistook MGoBlog for MLive. That's where hot take / snowflake posts like this one should go.
Also, within the hot take, the part about the Cabot Trail is irrelevant. You could just say "I was off the grid for a few days."
September 12th, 2017 at 8:17 PM ^
Humble-bragging is a staple around here
September 12th, 2017 at 8:44 PM ^
I should have opened up an OT thread before leaving last Tuesday with "Places on Cape Breton Island to catch the UM game and see Rutgers-EMU score updates" ...I'm guessing that probably would have been more to MGo form.
September 12th, 2017 at 8:59 PM ^
What hell about the end of OT season is not understood?
September 13th, 2017 at 7:51 AM ^
When one of our major rivals suffers a loss to a MAC team, it's not OT. Never forget the teddy bear and magnets!!

in CB. The Air Force game may be tougher to get though.
September 12th, 2017 at 10:04 PM ^
Just stay out of Point Michaud.
September 13th, 2017 at 7:52 AM ^
Ms. EM and I honeymooned in Nova Scotia, most of the time on Cape Breton island, and it's one of the most beautiful places I've been. Not really a glamor destination (so I didn't get the whiff of humblebrag), and hearing about it here made me smile.
September 13th, 2017 at 9:44 AM ^
Port Hood, Cape Breton Nova Scotia is way more humble than brag...other than a very modest Al
September 13th, 2017 at 2:57 AM ^
Are people's lives here really that miserable? Feel like someone would get negged if they happen to mention they've been to a beach before.
September 13th, 2017 at 6:27 AM ^
So Jasper is today's douche of the day?
September 13th, 2017 at 9:10 AM ^
it's from yesterday.
September 13th, 2017 at 9:03 AM ^
Just saying...
September 12th, 2017 at 8:19 PM ^
Never to early to look,ahead to Rutgers... scary
September 12th, 2017 at 11:40 PM ^
I loathe the thing about human brains that helped make this movie exist. Murderous bad guys, looking like that? Versus little kids? Fuck that noise.
P.S. This was a downvote-by-association moment for me. I had to admit that so you could reciprocate the downvotery as you deem fit.
September 13th, 2017 at 8:09 AM ^
Yeah, well, I'm not too fond you you either, ass muncher.
September 13th, 2017 at 1:39 PM ^
That was...the entire point behind the post. Hate away; it's fair game. If I knew more than nothing about you, I might be reciprocally un-fond.
For clarification on a subtlety, though, I wasn't judging people who like these movies; I was judging their behavior -- more specifically, the common algorithm that underlies their choices. Conveniently, that allows me to sidestep the fundamental attribution error.
September 13th, 2017 at 9:02 AM ^
So can we assume that you're also against people like John Wayne Gacy?
September 13th, 2017 at 1:44 PM ^
Obvious troll is obvious? It's a funny (nonsensical-type) dig if so. But I'm welcoming myself to be slow and can't fully dismiss the opposite...that you may be truly surprised that a stranger you meet isn't one of the (guessing now:) ~1,000 or so world citizens out of ~7.5BB who are *for* people like Gacy.
September 13th, 2017 at 4:19 PM ^
So are you pro or anti-John Wayne Gacy? You never really come out and say.
(I, for one, take a bold anti-John Wayne Gacy stance. I'm not afraid to admit it in public.)
September 13th, 2017 at 5:46 PM ^
Then I'm confused, too.
To me, it seems that a guy *must* be firmly anti-Gacy if he is so bothered by the existence of murderous clown imagineering that he produces a series of unpopular posts to express loathing for murderous clown movies.
Maybe, if that was legitimately confusing to you, you misread my posts.

Thanks for the call...

Next time!

Recently moved to New Jersey from Michigan, and figured I would go check it out since EMU was in town.
The atmosphere has to be the worst in the Big Ten. The stadium was half full. To make matters worse, thousands (including probably half the students) left at the end of the half, more left after the 3rd quarter, and even more throughout the 4th quarter.... to the point where Rutgers was driving for the tie or win with 1:30 left in front of (maybe) 5,000 people.
I mean, I get it, your team sucks and EMU isn't exactly an interesting opponent, but jeez. Terrible fans, especially those that left in the middle of a close game. Why even bother to show up if you're going to leave a 1 possession game? Rutgers was only favored by 5 points so these people can't be delusional enough to think they were in for a blow out, are they? (Never mind, I answered my own question.)
Shame they represent the B10, but good for EMU.
September 12th, 2017 at 10:05 PM ^
I went to the USC game last weekend and it wasn't this bad, but close. Most of the fans either came or left at halftime. They're having a great season and it was a huge game but the atmosphere paled in comparison to Ann Arbor on game days. Oh and the Coliseum is a dump.
September 14th, 2017 at 12:33 PM ^
Correction, you went to the USC game sober as a judge.
September 15th, 2017 at 12:01 PM ^
I had a few Modelos at tailgate lol
September 13th, 2017 at 9:37 AM ^
Is it really surprising? Rutgers is in metro NYC. Most B1G schools are located in small towns in rural areas of the Midwest where there isn't anything to do aside from attending a football game. Consider yourself lucky that you now live in the Northeast.
September 13th, 2017 at 10:46 AM ^
I prefer the midwest honestly, especially over Jersey. Maybe if I was up around New England I would feel differently, but the Philly/NJ/NYC area isn't great.
September 12th, 2017 at 8:51 PM ^
For my annual trek to the Big House. Hoping we put up 100 points. It's great to see Eastern experiencing some success. Maybe after we stomp Rutgers again, they'll join the MAC (no offense MAC fans).
GO BLUE!!
September 12th, 2017 at 10:37 PM ^
If Rutgers starts chirping again...100 isn't out of the question.
Last year, we were down to our 3RD STRING WALK ON FULL BACK running the ball and threw 3 passes after halftime.
That was merciful Harbaugh. Vengeful Harbaugh would refinish the stadium with the blood of sacrificed opponents, salt the earth, and take all the whole milk left in the state.
September 13th, 2017 at 7:44 AM ^
If Rutgers starts chirping the coach is a moron.

September 12th, 2017 at 9:25 PM ^
1. Wtf is a Nova Scotia. It sounds like a weird dessert.
2. I want to beat Rutgers 223-0, which would make it the highest scoring game of all time. They're our rivals and we need to make an example, especially if we are gonna to lose to our other rivals OSU msu Minnesota
September 13th, 2017 at 6:21 AM ^
You forgot about Illinois! How could you forget them? Thanks for giving them bulletin board material. Dummass.
September 13th, 2017 at 7:43 AM ^
I agree on the score but they are not our rivals. Just sayin! You actually have to beat us to be a rival. Don't give them that recognition. They are not even worthy to be in the BigTen and play football let alone be a rival. But love the passion; GO BLUE!
I would actually love to see a BIGTEN record of All athletics for Rutgers since joining.
September 13th, 2017 at 10:38 AM ^
We all want to forget but they did. 26-24. Their inaugural B1G season/Hoke's last year (silver linings).
September 13th, 2017 at 8:38 AM ^
40-7, UM
September 13th, 2017 at 10:03 AM ^
This post is bad and OP should feel bad for posting it.
September 13th, 2017 at 11:09 AM ^
Don't talk about Rutgers until we beat Rut.... oh never mind, continue
September 13th, 2017 at 7:30 PM ^
Rutgers is a waste of time.
GO BLUE!!
September 13th, 2017 at 8:23 PM ^
They played the first CFB game. They obviously did not do much to improve things after that.....
