GameDay: @Ball State (a day early)
As everyone here knows, losing to BSU and beating Toledo is still .500 ball for the week so tomorrow is critical. A two-game win streak would be sweet heading into Saturday's game.

I was reading through the EMU game notes and it recollects how Sims had a career day vs. BSU last year. Oh, would it be sweet if he can come back. I notice that EMU never removed his name from the game notes/roster so he is still part of the team and I believe he has been practicing all along.

He loves to play against BSU with his parents watching. I remember he was on fire.

I for one think that his absence might have cost us a game or two. At crunch time he would be my 2nd PG. A steady ball handler is a god send down the stretch against a good team.

According to the Sagarin ratings, I believe we'll be say a 7 - 8 point favorite.

EDIT: Vegas says EMU by 6 1/2 points.

Seems right. We've beat the crap out of the bad MAC teams we've played. 4-0 against BG, Kent, and CMU, with an average MOV of almost 12 points. Riley did a good job against Majok last year...if he does the same this year, we should win comfortably.

EMU 68
BSU 59

I'm going to doing a different method:

EMU 72,
CMU 59.

So I'll go EMU 72, BSU 59. 04-cheers

I think we're ready for another big game.

I'll be fascinated to see how Murphy plays him tonight.

If it were me, I'd insert JR in at the 16 minute mark (first media break) and see if he brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm and sparks the team.

I assume Murphy wants to 'reward' him for getting his academics complete.

I wouldn't want him sitting and getting anxious, even if he is 'rusty', for too long.

I'm happy that JR is back, he's been a class act his entire time at EMU and deserves to have good things happen.

I'm listening to the pre-game w. Chad.

This game sounds tailor made for EMU. Chad is pumped for JR too. Cards play a true frosh PG, turnover prone.

He said something about missing a 6' 10" player. Could that be Majok Majok???????
