To cheer for EMU, I think you have to be delusional.

41-17. We look like the team from last year and defense finally gets a pick6.

Defense not so good...young, key players out with injuries...having to rely on true fresh dbs prone to miss cover assignments
lbs average talent overall with Mayes out
D line too small/light overall to put consistent pressure on QB


NIU. 37
EMU 30

Biggest disappointment is the O line performances overall...expected more from experienced personnel

Our D-line isn't any smaller than it usually is. If anything, it's bigger.

I'm really surprised we haven't seen the JUCO d-line guys we signed this year. Unless they aren't on the team kinda a waste of scholarship.

NIU 45, EMU 17

41-38 NIU wins on the grey turf

The O Line has been a mixed bag, they have only allowed five QB sacks which ranks with the very best programs in the country. The run blocking has not been as good but part of that is how well the receivers, tight ends and lead blockers are doing.

Id like to know where Dear Abby is. What happen to emu by 11 lol

I think they should. It's more original than Eagles, and even more important, the picture is funny.

An emu was near the fence at Brookfield Zoo recently, pacing. That would be a great mascot.
