But how prominent was Max Crosby on the EMU team. I remember him being good of course, but were we predicting he was a future NFL player?
In any case, very happy for his success!
Yep, Ramy, admittedly I did forecast that Maxx was an NFL player before his junior season based on his speed. This prompted Bob to counter that Maxx was too skinny and probably runs a 5.0 flat in the 40. This is why I give him a reminder jab when I write “not bad for a skinny kid” in my posts :-)
His dad used to post on here and heavily roots for EMU and Coach Creighton!
His dad did heavily root for EMU, coach Creighton, and...sprinkled in some far right, pro Trump opinions which got overlooked by everyone but me, oh well. Maxx was very skinny and he proved what hard work and determination can do. Hats off to the guy, he earned it. As mentioned many times, he also seems like a great guy too.
We do not hold political views as important here. They are essentially irrelevant unless they relate to some POLICY issue directly related to EMU, higher education, collegiate athletics and student athletes (e.g., COA, NIL), etc. etc.
Funding of higher education, Title IX, NIL, etc. are relevant. (all are policy issues which are debated each year by those in political power).
The keystone pipeline, for example, is not. Ditto coal. Even climate change. Roads and infrastructure, however, are partially relevant as EMU exists as an institution within Ypsilanti and Washtenaw County.
I think we do well to keep this type of question in mind: How does the topic under discussion relate to EMU, MAC etc. including Ypsilanti and Washtenaw County, especially athletics, as this is a sports forum?
E,g,, some Customs and Immigration Service rules and regs which make it more difficult for foreign student to come to study here (including EMU) would be relevant.
Changes in enrollment. Changes in student loans programs. Changes in law effecting health insurance for students.
