BTW, WMU has lost 15 players with season ending injuries. CMU 10.

Two badly beaten up teams who have under-performed because of injury.

We have CMU in 13 days, Black Friday...

If WMU wins, we retain the Michigan MAC trophy...some incentive to watch, I guess.

Ugh, thanks for nothing Western.

Ugh!!

It ruined my "logic":

EMU > WMU .and. WMU > CMU then EMU > CMU.

Now: ???

CMU turned the ball over like 5 times and STILL won. WMU is bad.

I think CMU will beat us comfortably, now that Tipton is healthy again. He's a load.

Dear EagleSam,
Don't count us out just yet. Central has fumbleitis, and Rush (their quarterback) has had problems too. You mean to tell me Hill, Brumfield, and company can't get the job done? I guess we will have to wait and see.

If the EMU defense can keep CMU under 30 pts then EMU can win.

Not an impressive victory by any means. I'm sure CMU will put up points on us, however. Our offensive weapons (Hill, Russell, Creel) and Roback having season-best performances may be our only hope.

I won't count us out at all, but the defense will have to make those big stops they had late against WMU again next Friday.

Welp, now we have something to play for. Beat CMU.

CMU is a better team than EMU, but we are also significantly better than WMU and it came down to the wire. 5 turnover's is unacceptable and no team should win with 5 turnovers. It just goes to show how bad WMU is.

If we turn it over 5 times against EMU we lose, plain and simple. I still think we finish 6-6 and may sneak into another bowl like last year. Even though it's not deserved.

I don't know that EMU is a significantly better team than WMU. EMU beat WMU 35-32 in OT. That doesn't lead me to believe that EMU is significantly better than WMU.

I didn't say EMU was significantly better than WMU, I said CMU is. I think EMU is a better team than WMU though. They did beat them even though it took a last second miracle essentially.

You're right and I agree regarding CMU/WMU. EMU is not significantly better than WMU. EMU has won two games and WMU has won one game. EMU and WMU are both bottom feeders in the MAC West.
