Nice column in today's Detroit News on EMU AD Derrick Gragg:

Gragg is a personable young guy who is breathing some life into the program. About a year or more ago I did a magazine feature on EMU's athletics situation and interviewed him, the then-president, coaches and supporters and just had a good feeling about things. Since it is summer and the news is slow right now, I thought I would also post a link to a .pdf of that story as well (note: I was only the writer -- not the editor -- yes, I know the opening sentence is printed twice!) if anyone has the time to give it a read:

Clipped Wings

Nicely done, Dave!

When ever your in populated area you have the potential to draw crowds. Who can afford the NFL, can't get Mich tickets. I can't believe 25,000 people can't enjoy sat afternoon at the ball park with reasonable prices & place to take your kids.
I use to take my daughter to Temple games for 5 bucks, walking by laundrymat would cost 5 bucks if they had a claw machine & candy. Then she got older and start complaining about the play calling & missed tackles & said she had enough.
my grandson is 2, couple more yrs, me & him at the ball park.

Your article was far better than Terry Foster's - nice job Dave.
