EMU hoops at home tonight vs Illinois State, Red Wings in Montreal

First off (before Johnny goes off on Gary Betteman, NHL Commish) the EMU basketball team is at home tonight the at ACC against Illinois State's Redbirds who are a cool 5-2, while EMU is 3-4. Illinois State is led by Osiris Eldridge and Anthony Slack. EMU is getting production from Jesse Bunkley, Carlos Medlock and Justin Dobbins, just not ENOUGH production. Let's pick it up guys, long ago EMU wouldn't have flinched in sending a team like the Redbirds packing. Johnny fears we as a community may need to have a talk about what once was the pride of EMU, the basketball team.

7pm tip, 89.1 WEMU on your FM dial

Now, the Red Wings do something they seemingly haven't done in an age tonight, travel to Montreal for a game. Yes, YCD remembers the great old days of this famed rivaly when they used to play more than every other year. That was until Gary BUTTMAN decided the Red Wings would be better off playing Trashville eight times and Columbus eight times rather than fly by night clubs in Boston, Toronto, Montreal and New York. Betteman's a tool and thank god his plan is crashing in flames and next year we go back to scheduling like it was in the before times, where you play everyone.

7:30 pm face off and the game is on, ugh, Versus
