Central Michigan

All in all not a bad start to the season.  As frustrating as portions of the game were we found a way to win a game that we would have likely lost in 2013!  With that it's on to the next Michigan directional school: Central Michigan.

This projects to be a tougher test for the Boilers as CMU returns 20 starters from a team that went 6-6 last year and had a much more effective offense.  We have handed CMU five losses over the years, including in the Motor City Bowl which is like the Rose Bowl for the MAC.  I'm sure that CMU would love to come and ruin any semblance of hope that last week generated.  I think the Boilers can win this one though and start the season 2-0 in the MAC. 

We will be reviving a MAC school (Miami) tradition with our Kegs 'n Eggs tailgate this week.  We will be serving eggs, pancakes, assorted breakfast meats, and of course Bloody Mary's and Mimosas.

We will plan on meeting in the D lot on Saturday morning, hopefully near the Evans Scholars house where we have been for most games the last two seasons.

The D Lot can be found on the map on the right side of the blog. We have the large flagpole that extends to 20 feet and an ambulance so hopefully you will be able to locate us easily. We will be sporting either our custom flag, which can be seen to the right of this post, that sports our “Old School Boilermakers” flag.
