Family Day!
This week we welcome the Chippewas of Central Michigan to Lafayette for another MAC smack down! The pundits are predicting that CMU will finish at the bottom of the MAC so I don’t see this as a huge challenge, but we do have a history of underperforming against overmatched foes early in the season. Add to this the fact that the Chippewa’s just whipped Toledo (our week one opponent) and we may actually have a ballgame on our hands. Hopefully a dry one after last weekend's rain soaked mess!
It is also family day on campus. I love family day because you can clearly tell the age of the student by watching the parents. Freshman parents are fretting and worrying about how late their son or daughter was out last night. Then you have the senior’s parents who are just praying that they didn’t really see their son coming out of Where Else at 8:00 this morning already drunk!
We will plan on meeting in the W lot on Saturday morning, hopefully towards the Slater Center side of the lot. The W lot is indicated in green on the map below. For those of you parking in the IM lot it is only a 5 minute walk to the W lot, just think of us being on the way to the stadium! We have the large flagpole that extends to 20 feet, so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily.
Please note that all times for itineraries are given in Lafayette’s local time. This will not affect the people coming from Indy, but for those of us in the northern reaches the move to daylight savings time in Indiana means that Lafayette is permanently 1 hour ahead of central time.
