The last football coaches luncheon of the year, was attended by twenty-two fans. The guest football player was Thomas Odukoya, tight-end, senior. He has already graduated, and is working towards his masters. Has had his foot broken a few times, and operated on as well. That is the reason he has not seen much paying time. Nothing new to report on the Toledo game other than some of the logic for the two point conversion decisions.
As far as Buffalo is concerned, Coach Creighton admitted that Eastern has to get better at stopping the run game, because Buffalo has one. He would not tell who the starter would be at quarterback, but said he hopes that Grissom will play.
On the recruiting trail in Chicago, he said the recruit that he talked to, was impressed with the new facility, and really liked how the team came out of it, on to the field. Obvious that we knew it would have an impact on recruiting. A question was asked about Central building a facility similar to Eastern's, and the impact on their recruiting. Coach Creighton said it won't be as good, and Athletic Director Wetherbee said Central sent people to look at our facility, and they were allowed to take pictures.
President Smith and his wife were also in attendance, and he said the new medical facility was going to be opened this coming Saturday, with a open house starting at 10 a.m. The Snow medical building will eventually be torn down and the area turned into a green space.
Any questions?
