Prior to last night’s game against Hampton, I purchased the $49.95 CMU SportsZone season package. This deal runs through basketball season. I instantly had access to post game interviews, specials and replays for all CMU sports. The video quality was choppy(could definitely be due to my shoddy internet service) and a bit fuzzy but easy [...]
Postgame: CMU vs. Hampton
Category: uncategorizedThe Chippewas christened Dan Enos with a lopsided win, yet it left me a bit uneasy. The Chips defense played great as Berning and Bellore flew all over the field doing their usual. Cesaer Rodriguez added an impressive and unexpective pass rush from DE—He could end up being a nice sidekick to Sean Murnane. CMU [...]
Game preview: CMU vs. Hampton
Category: hamptonvs. It’s finally football season again and the Central Michigan Chippewas are set to square off against the Hampton Pirates in Mt. Pleasant, MI.

Gameday rituals
Category: uncategorizedWith only one day until the Chips kickoff against Hampton, I thought it might be interesting to hear what football fans do to prepare for the game. For the last couple of seasons I have made the following breakfast sandwich. It is a great cure for a hangover and a great base for Chippewa football. [...]
Chicago Bears quarterback situation
Category: chicago bears, dan lefevour, uncategorizedMuch has been made of Dan LeFevour’s QB rating in the first couple preseason games. I just want to break down the situation for people. The Bears drafted LeFevour in the 6th round of the 2010 draft and had no intentions of playing him for at least a year. He had a decent camp but [...]
CMU basketball schedule released
Category: uncategorizedDespite the football season being right around the corner, Dave Heeke continues to pound away on all other Chippewa athletics. The 2010 men’s basketball schedule has been announced. I’m sure I can speak for most Chip fans in saying, I cannot wait to see the new events center and the best recruiting class in the [...]
CMU picks up 2 votes in AP, 1 in Coaches poll
Category: uncategorizedAfter CMU finished in the top 25 in both the AP and Coaches polls in 2009, they received just 2 votes in the AP Poll and 1 in the Coaches Poll in preseason rankings. Despite the small amount of votes, HussleBelt.com states the fun but obvious, “…this makes CMU the highest ranked football team in [...]
Kendrick Roberts picks up Iowa offer
Category: announcement, kendrick roberts, recruiting, thomas rawlsScout.com reported late Friday that Kendrick Roberts of Flint Southwestern picked up a BigTen offer from the Iowa Hawkeyes. Not a big surprise considering his big frame and superior play making ability but what does this mean for the Chips’ pursuit of Thomas Rawls of Flint Northern? Only time will tell but I think the [...]
2010 MAC non-conference matchups
Category: dave heeke, mac, northern illinois, temple, toledo2010 is shaping up to be a solid year for the MAC. Aside form CMU, Toledo, Northern Illinois and Temple are all returning some nice players to make a run at the top 25. I compiled some stats from 2009 to try and get an idea of the teams each program will be showing in [...]
Rope-a-dope
Category: 2010 season preview, dan enos, hampton, mac, templeAli lays back on the ropes and dodges a huge left hand from the defending champ, George Foreman (Photo from Time magazine online—1974). The main point of concern for all CMU fans entering the 2010 season has been the offense and changing from an exciting, pass heavy spread offense to a lethargic, run heavy pro [...]
