and i get that this was 30+ years ago, but we're fans. the enjoyment of fandom comes from holding onto grudges and getting a rise out of bulletin board material. i don't want EMU as an institution to do anything about that vote. it's irrelevant as a university issue and an athletic dept issue. but as a fan, to hell with CMU for this and 300 other reasons.
I agree about the cop out.
That said, while EMU (and WMU) were on one side, how about the rest of the MAC besides CMU?
I believe the MAC was 3 MI schools, NIU, BSU, TOL and BG, MIA and Ohio and Kent.
NIU left the MAC and rejoined. Akron was added in '91 or '92 and UB was also added. Marshall came (and left) later.
There were 8 schools who voted to start the process (WMU and EMU opposed).
I say beat Ohio Saturday and then TOL, NIU, BSU, CMU, MIA and BG. Feel free to run the score up. Beat WMU but don't run the score up.
I have no problem going 8 - 0 in the MAC...
That will teach them... Lol.
