Absolute embarrassment for Creighton and staff. CMU & WMU absolutely destroy us! CMU especially, even taking multiple good guys right out of our backyard in Ypsi and Ann Arbor.

If this staff could simply get as many good guys from Michigan, that WMU & CMU do, we'd have a much better chance to climb the recruiting ranks. ZERO excuses about money or time when we are getting our butts whipped in our own State. These programs and players are within simple car rides of our staff. Instead, we're spread out all over the country, and STILL ending up at the bottom of MAC recruiting rankings. Does this make ANY sense to our AD? Does she even care? Who knows.

Really poor job by EMU.

EagleTough,

I love your passion, I really do and if I may speak for our AD, no other MAC school has the administration going to ESPN asking the BoR to stop playing D1 football. Do you think the other MAC schools use that ESPN footage to negatively recruit against us? That question was rhetorical.

To top it off, we are the only bowl team to have a track around its football field negating the fans from creating an electric atmosphere.

Then we have years and years of losing to deal with, correct.

I would recommend everyone let the recruiting play out. Didn't we get a couple decent receivers right before the season started? Recruiting rankings mean zilch but I agree in general they are more right than wrong.

We are going to win seven games this season, we are going bowling again, and then Creighton will be hired away and Roback graduated.

Creighton will leave EMU with unprecedented success and players for the next coach who will bring in the top recruiting classes.

EagleTough, don't take this reply personally because I love your passion for EMU football - keep it flowing......
