((HT: BTN))
First, just watch the play in the Eastern Michigan- Michigan State game...
When had you seen that one before today...???
Yep... a long time ago...
Eastern Michigan center Dwayne Brown committed the infraction (so you can attach a name to a face) in the MSU-EMU game where the Spartans win 73-14

Worst Entrance Idea Ever: Eastern Michigan vs. The Concrete Wall
((ht: cbssports.com))
We have no idea who thought knocking down a concrete wall with a sledgehammer to initiate the team running out on the field would be cool.
Because all it did was make Eastern Michigan University the butt of an endless parade of jokes.
Check out what happens when the Eagles try to "Break Down the Wall" and run out onto the field.
Sure, they eventually did it...sort of. But in that time, the student section had pizza delivered, the alumni drove home and came back and the guys broadcasting the game did their halftime report early (ok, so maybe that's not so funny, it's early on a Sunday morning)....
We should add maybe it worked, albeit unintentionally since the Eagles beat Morgan State 31-28.
Anyway, here's your video which unfortunately has the god-awful ESPN like music on it. We'd really like to hear the nat sound or broadcast version instead...

Eastern Michigan's English Speaks, Eagles Win In OT
((HT: EMU Athletics))
Former Eastern Michigan head coach Ron English came clean in an interview with the AP about his unceremonious dismissal earlier this week with three games left in the 2013 season...
"As a man who has coached 21 years, obviously, on this occasion and particular meeting, I lost my poise, got upset and used language that was inappropriate, particularly as it pertains to homosexual slurs. I regret that," English said. "I apologize to the university for putting it in this position and tarnishing its reputation. I look forward to continuing a career that has been marked by molding men of integrity, passion, and intensity for 21 years."
The Detroit News has a copy of the purported audio rant that got English fired:
The school released a statement as to why English was let go:
"I received a tape of a situation in which Coach English had addressed the team and used wholly inappropriate language. We hold our coaches and staff to high standards of professionalism and conduct and there is no place, particularly in a student environment, where this language is appropriate. The statements made by Coach English are absolutely unacceptable. My decision to make a change in leadership of our football program was the culmination of a lot of factors including the comprehensive review of our program, the competitive performance and this tape. Our primary interest is in the well being and success of our student-athletes and this will continue to be our priority in every decision we make and every action we take. My focus moving forward is on the quality of our student-athletes' experience as well as the search process for the next leader of our football program."
The first part of that was naming Stan Parrish as interim coach and the team responded- for the first time out, anyway...
Eastern played Western and 35-32...
Here's the highlights of the win on overtime...

Jordan Lynch Is Working The Outside Lane
((HT: XOS Digital))
Northern Illinois QB Jordan Lynch finished 7th in the voting last year for the posing-stiff arm trophy that the best player gets in Division I...
With all these efforts that he's trying to put on the board, it looks like NIU is trying to get him as much attention as possible when the voting actually happens...
Like today...
Lynch had four touchdown passes, one touchdown run and one touchdown catch as they beat Eastern Michigan 59-20...
Here's the highlights of the Huskies win...
NIU (8-0, 4-0 in Mid-American Conference) won its 24th consecutive home game and their 21st straight against a MAC opponent.
NIU's 8-0 start is the program's best since 1965...
The HQ thinks it's safe to say the other front runners for that trophy may do the same kinds of stunts as we go further in the year...

Northern Illinois Sets New Record For Bad
((HT: EMUAthletics))
Northern Illinois broke its own NCAA record for being really bad scoring only four points in the first half at Eastern Michigan.
Northern Illinois trailed 18-4 at the half after shooting 1 for 31, including 29 straight misses. Earlier this season, Northern Illinois set the record for fewest points in a first half with five against Dayton back on December 1st.
The Huskies' 3.2 percent field goal percentage in the first half also set a record, breaking Savannah State's 4.3 percent "success rate" against Kansas State on Jan. 7, 2008. Their one made field goal also tied Savannah State's record in that 2008 game.
The Huskies finished the game 8 for 61 from the field for 13.1 percent, another NCAA record. The Huskies finished 1 for 33 from three-point.
The record for fewest points in a game is 20 set by Saint Louis in January 2008.
Here's the highlights, if you're an Eastern Michigan fan, anyway...
It was the first time since December 7th, 2004 that Eastern held an opponent to less than 30 points- beating Rochester College, 89-29. The 25 points given up were also the lowest points EMU has allowed since January 21st, 1943, when they beat Hillsdale College, 61-21.
