Johnny's big ass dinner of braised crow; Eastern Michigan 24-Bowling Green 21

Mmmmmmm, nom nom nom, soooo nourishing. Mmmm, crow.

Well kids, lets set the scene. Eastern is down 21-17 with less than two minutes to play with a first down on their own 22. Anyone following EMU football for any amount of time knows this is normally a fatal affliction. Enter Andy Schmitt. Schmitt led Eastern on one of the best drives in school history.

3 yard pass to Jacory Stone
15 yard pass to Jacory Stone
16 yard pass to Marvon Sanders
Andy Schmitt ran for 5 yards
22 yard pass to Josh LeDuc
16 yard pass to Tyler Jones---YAHTZEE

36 seconds left but BG could only get to Eastern's 35 and it was OVER.

Game ball Andy Schmitt who went 21 for 29 for 253 and the winning score. Schmitt also ran for 22. Eastern ran well behind a huge effort from the offensive line and 60 yards by Tyler Jones and 45 by Dwayne Priest. Jacory Stone had 6 grabs for 81 yards.

The 9 game Bowling Green winning streak vs EMU just died alongside I-75 outside of the Bowling Green exit

Go Green, EMU is 2-4 overall and 1-2 in the MAC West. They're at Army next weekend.

EMU football Gameday

Oh God, not Bowling Green. Lets check the schedule again real quick to be sure........Yep, it BG down in Bowling Green (even though their color is burnt orange). Eastern Michigan has lost the last NINE times to BG. EMU isn't playing well. Could it be a decade of futility today? In fact BG has had our number so long we can only remember one HUGE win over them in 1987 that cinched the MAC title and sent us on our way to the California Bowl.

Last week Eastern couldn't stop the pass nor the run, and couldn't move the ball. BG is better at the skill positions than Eastern so you tell us. The 4pm kickoff would have let us ponder the ins and outs of this game breaking it down into a case by case basis as to why Eastern has a chance. Yeah any given Saturday and all that and we'd love to eat our words but it doesn't look promising.

We'll call it:

BG 31
EMU 17

We HOPE we're wrong. Let's not let this losing streak to the Woodsy Owls reach

EMU football gameday

Wow, on a FRIDAY no less.

Well, it's Senior night at EMU and everyone will want to go out a winner on their last time at Rynearson. BG offers a stretch offense with much passing which works against EMU's defensive scheme, stopping the run. BG is good but not overwhelming and Johnny would love to pick EMU here but after last weeks blowout loss to Toldeo who is on par with BG, YCD has to say (regretfully):

BGSU 31
EMU 20


Next week we'll begin the Jeff Genyk needs a new job meme.....
