“MSU to buy EMU in Hostile Takeover Bid”

sitedad — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 11:08:01 +0000

I missed this April Fool’s story over on Ypsinews.com, “MSU to buy EMU in Hostile Takeover Bid.” It’s a surprisingly elaborate article for a joke article, IMO. Be sure to check it out.

Incidentally, I have to wonder if Steve Pierce and whoever else is associated with Ypsinews.com didn’t purposefully make a more ridiculous [...]

So that means it’s time to pick your picks for the EMUTalk Tourney Pool for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Go ahead! Sign up! You’ll be glad you did!

In this particular version of the pool, I simply let the computer pick the top seeds for me, but in a version that I really [...]

Earlier this week, EMU-AAUP President Susan Moeller sent around an email that said, basically, that EMU is currently running a $5.8 million surplus. “Given that our academic departments are suffering from a terrible lack of funding lets hope that the EMU administration uses some of this surplus,” Moeller writes, “to remedy the underfunding SOON.”

FREE Friedman tickets available for U-M, WSU, and MSU; EMU not welcome (apparently)

About a week ago, I posted here about Thomas “The World is Flat” Friedman talking at EMU and wondering how it was that this event was being advertised at MSU and there seemed no information about it here at EMU. Regular EMUTalk.org commentator Alum posted information that more or less said that EMU students [...]

EMU football played like EMU football

I didn’t get a chance to see the game yesterday, though this article, “Ringer leads Michigan St. to 42-10 victory,” suggests I didn’t miss much as an EMU fan. Here’s a quote from the article:

The Eagles managed an 80-yard touchdown drive to tie the game at 7 early in the second quarter, capped [...]

“Wyatt part of transformation”/Game on BTN at noon today

This is quite a bit more football coverage than usual here at EMUTalk.org, but an alert and interested EMUTalk.org reader sent me this link to share: “Wyatt part of transformation: Sexton star is helping EMU out of doldrums.” Here’s a quote from the story:

Over Jacob Wyatt’s three seasons, the Eastern Michigan football program [...]

Thomas “The World is Flat” Friedman talking at EMU; how do we get in?

I found this info via my feed, but it was published on the Michigan State University news site:

EAST LANSING, Mich. — Three-time Pulitzer Prize winning New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman will be in Michigan to outline an emerging agenda that will make “green power the next great global industry.”

The program, featuring [...]

EMU vs. MSU football: SpartyMSU has made their pick

This originally showed up as a comment, but it seems to merit a post of its own: John Opie at SpartyMSU has gone out on a limb and predicted victory for the 0-1 MSU Spartans on Saturday. Here’s a link to the post; here’s a quote from that blog:

One thing that is 100% [...]
