Friendly Neighbors Beat Our Rival

Submitted by Rochester Blue on September 9th, 2017 at 7:23 PM

Our neighbors at EMU just beat our "rivals", Rutgers (LOL), 16-13. Even with a blocked EMU FG with 1:39 left that would have forced Rutgers (LOL) to go down and get 6 to tie, and a roughing the passer with 0:36 left, and EMU bailing out Rutgers with a silly timeout, the Eagles slayed the giants with a final play sack. Honestly, EMU's D-line against Rutgers (LOL) looked like ours against Florida. Rutgers will struggle to gain positive yards against us.

Beat me to it.

EMU defeats OSU Allies would have been a better headline IMO.

Congrats to EMU. Happy for them.

Cinci was suppose to be worse than Rutgers. Hopefully we show up for the Rutgers game.

By the Rutgers secret societies this time. They musta taken EMU for granted or something.

This kinda takes off the luster for the Michigan Bicentennial celebration during Rutgers week. Happy to return back to A^2 regardless.

Might only be Rutgers, but that's a big win for EMU. Not the EMU of old at all. Congrats to them!

Eastern has always been my least favorite directional school, but good on them!

Well color me upset that they won't be undefeated when we play them. We're going to need all the style points we can get for the selection committee to seed us over Alabama.

If Chris Ash always looks like he's going to cry or like he's going to have diarrhea. Maybe both?

Did anyone else, when things were slow in Ann Arbor, ever visit the sweet EMU girls?

I've been to a gentlemen's club in Ypsilanti. I'm sure some of the staff attended EMU.

Two threads about Rutgers losing seems unnecessary. I feel bad for Rutgers though, they should be better. To think at one point, Saquan Barkley and Jonathan Taylor (RB from Wisky that had 220+ yards today) were committed and expected to play for them. A lot of bad luck unfortunately.
