I thought I’d go ahead and group three sports oriented bits ‘o news together in one post: EMU Men’s Basketball goes down, but it was close and after double-overtime, 97-98 to Akron. So Ramsey will coach another year, but let’s see if we can’t kick it up a notch next year, huh? Once again, the so-called “March Madness” is upon us and it’s time for basketball fans and non-fans alike to put together their picks for the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (aka, “the final four.”) Last year, we had a small but enthusiastic group participate in the picks here at EMUTalk.org, and the victory went to Honolulu [...] An alert reader sent me this, though I had also seen a press release about this too: from Freep.com, “Former Lions QB Charlie Batch, six others going into EMU Hall of Fame.” Good for Batch and the others included– Denise Allen (basketball), Jerry Cerulla (track), Angela (Springer) Johnson (track), Sharon McNie (gymnastics), Gary Patton (football), and [...] Also in the public service/college fun category of things: “EMU Women’s Basketball Helps Box Out Breast Cancer” on February 24. A bit from the press release: EMU “Pink Zone” t-shirts will be available for $10 and a silent auction of EMU memorabilia and apparel will be held with all proceeds benefiting the Kay Yow/WBCA Cancer Fund. [...] From the Echo comes this op-ed/sports story, “All can use sports complex: EMU sports teams and community members alike stand to benefit.” Personally, I’m not against this facility, and I can understand how it will benefit the athletic programs at EMU. But I am a little dubious about this claim: This facility also serves as a [...] A couple interesting articles/headlines from the Eastern Echo: “Martin gets feedback from forum,” which is a summary of a public forum EMU President Susan Martin held on Monday. I thought about going, but it sounds like it was mostly students there– which is good, but they might have had different interests than me. From Geoffrey “Geoff” Larcolm: EMU basketball tonight is launching a new promotion: the Mac Attack. Students, faculty and staff have the opportunity to win a 13.3-inch glossy widescreen, 2.26GHz MacBook during a random drawing at each of the 11 remaining 2010 EMU men’s and women’s home basketball games. The value of each laptop is $1,000. Anyone [...] While in the student center today, some cheerleaders and dancers and “Swoop” the emu er, “Eagle” came through and handed out various promotional materials about upcoming basketball games. Visit emueagles.com if you want the details, but it boils down to this: there’s either a men’s or women’s basketball home game the remaining Wednesdays and Saturdays [...] There’s an intriguingly one-sided article on the front page of the Eastern Echo that has made it to its web site, “The problem of dropping athletics to Division II.” It begins: In a letter written to The Echo in October from Zachary Jones — an adjunct instructor and research assistant at EMU — he suggested what [...] An alert EMUTalk.org reader sent me this link the other day: “Big Time Losers” is the web site about a film of the same name that will be on PBS– I assume at some point in the near future. Here’s a blurb from the site: Big [...] |
