[Turtleneck]

Starting this a day early so we can prepare for the end of off-season and focus. After 7pm tomorrow we all have the same goal. Board management will be swift in dealing with the unfocused among us.

I do not know who the starting QB will be, but Bert Emanuel, Jr. is up for the job and it seems like he can move outside the pocket fairly well.

I’m laser focused. Wife is staying at home, because one of her best friends from high school has a daughter who will be getting married the next day. So I have to go by myself can’t stay overnight because I’m coming back for the wedding.

What in the hell are people thinking getting married in the fall? This is why the terrorist are winning.

If you want to get married in the fall, do it in the spring and have a destination wedding where it's fall in say, New Zealand.

And by "terrorist", you mean women.

You can drive back in the morning. Don't let them win.

CMU checks in at #6

Mid-American Conference Preseason Rankings

Central Michigan is one of the few teams in the MAC with a good mix of returning production (52nd) and recruiting (83rd). That, combined with consistency in head coach Jim McElwain, should lead to better results than last years 4-8 campaign.

Is this thread for high school games north of Lansing and south of Gladwin?

Is this thread for high school games north of Lansing and south of Gladwin?

This is a thread for MSU's upcoming football contest versus the Central Michigan University Chippewas. CMU has won three games in the Route 27 Rivalry, 1991, 1992, and 2009.

Pregame threads are going on their 3rd year. Please focus.
