I count 6 games... I wouldn't be surprised if say 1 or 2 more got picked.

I like the 1pm kickoff time for the Ohio game. I've got a 3 1/2 hour drive, but that would let me get back by a decent hour. That could be a critical game for Ohio if the schedule plays out in the Bobcats favor.

It wasn't that long ago that EMU football games were seldom, if ever, televised. This gives them good exposure in their core market of Detroit. I hope that the radio network eventually expands also. Eastern has a station in the Detroit market and the flagship WEMU covering Ann Arbor but they should be trying to land stations in Jackson, Adrian, Flint, Port Huron/Mt. Clemens, and Monroe, at the very least. Lansing wouldn't be out of line either.

Western also had a couple games added by Comcast Local, specifically the games against Miami (OH) and Ball St.

I like going to games in Ypsi!
Hooray!!!!

Now get a modern scoreboard up there in Rynearson gosh darn it!! Love that stadium!
