Eastern Michigan game day thread

Do you smell that? That strange smell on the wind. It's slight but it's there. It smells like.....an upset. Now I know, it's EASTERN Michigan football we're talking about but hear me out. Pitt lost a lot of their best players last year, already this year their top go to playmaker Derek Kinder tore his ACL and is out this seaon. Another Pitt player, offensive tackle Chris Jacobson had a similar injury and will also be out. Pitt will be a team banged up and very unproven.

STRANGE things happen in the first week.

EMU returns 16 starters and were in a LOT of their games last year despite being 1-11. At least four, if not more could have easily gone the other way. They were close. They needed time to learn to win. They've been stewing all winter, spring and summer over that 1-11 mark of last season. Something tells me they'll give full effort.

The opportunity is there guys, go get this one.

6pm kickoff from Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. WEMU 89.1 FM will have the call
