Congrats on your big win today. Don't know what has happened to my team. But I will say that the changes going on in Ypsi are not cosmetic. You guys are making big progress. Enjoy your win. Think I need to start drinking - heavily.

Yep, congrats to EMU on another big win. Pretty impressive turnaround so far this year.

That was a great game. I am so proud to be an EMU alumnus. By the way, White and Carder and maybe Wiggins will be playing on sundays. That is a great WMU team!

Did that really just happen? Did we really just go to 5-3? Did we really just win the Michigan MAC trophy? Please don't tell me that those referees are sitting somewhere at Rynearson trying to figure out some way to give the game to WMU..

I'm utterly speechless here in Louisville.

Great job Eagles!!! Keep it going! You guys are playing some good football with a lot of confidence!

Nice win Eagles!

Great to see your season is turning out like this. So glad my Rockets already played you guys.

Keep supporting your team.

Hope your attendance grows week after week.

Bowl officials will be watching and figuring where to plug you in.

Great season so far Eagles!!

You guys are all class acts. I wish your programs luck the rest of the way.

While I can't forgive my Chippewas for giving up 350 yards on the ground against EMU I can say that EMU is much better then I thought they were. They came in to Mt Pleasant and dominated and then completely shut down a WMU team that has one of the better offenses in the MAC. A 3-1 conference record with the only loss to Toledo who is most likely going to run away with the West is impressive.

Great game Eastern! Best by test!!!

Hey! I remember my old drill instructor telling me that!

Best by test for sure.

Go Green

Just keep getting people in those stands and a trip to Boise is in EMU's future.

EMU is the best story of the year, you hate to see a program down like you guys WERE (past tense), and you gotta love the turnarounds when they happen. Keep it rolling, except for 11/25.

I'm shocked -- Congratulations to everyone, and especially Ron English. He proved me wrong -- that it is possible to win big MAC games without a QB.

Holybovine,

Come on!!! a simple congratulation would had been great, without the quick backhand.. Can't the older EMU fans now forgive and move this rock off their back to come back and support our school? The Eagle name is staying and the people who decided to change the name has mostly moved on, I think older Eagle (Huron) should all come together to enjoy this football program... We Really need you and your support..
I am off my soapbox again..

We recruit IL pretty hard these days.

Need to put on a good show in DeKalb.

The team will bring their 'A' game this year...

thanks y'all. appreciate the kind words. fans of the other MAC schools have always been great in supporting eastern.

Way to go EMU. Beat everyone the rest of the way!

Except for NIU.

A late congrats on the win. While I wish the game was a little more exciting, you all did what you had to do when you had to do it. On a side note, where is everyone going to park when MSU comes to town in a couple years? The hospital? That was the first time i've seen the convo lot and the one across the stadium full and if it was actually only 6k-ish that's 1/5th of the cars that will need to find a place to go. Just wondering

Now don't let the players get too full of themselves.... us WMU fans know something about what can happen when that happens. Go win out and make your alums proud. You all deserve it.
