Eastern Michigan got that magical sixth win. With a 5-6 record, coach Ace Journeyman's Eagles hosted the Huskies of Northern Illinois. Despite injuries at the skill positions, the offense finally clicked and Eastern got their most convincing win, 30-16. That sixth win earned Journeyman's squad an invite to the Eagle Bank Bowl to face Navy. It was the school's first bowl since 1987 and only their second ever. Despite being blowout by the Middies, 38-14, the fan base was thrilled the relative success of 2010 and is looking for great things in years to come. Recruiting wasn't great, but Journeyman's hoping for good things in 2011.2010 Season Wrap-Up - 6-7 (5-3):

Ace,
ReplyDeleteWhat made you take this job with Eastern Michigan and do you have any new opportunities this off season with another program?
I wanted to start as near the bottom as possible and work my way up through my career. The bowl didn't earn me any new opportunities, just an extension offer.
ReplyDeleteIs Georgia State on the game?
ReplyDeleteNone of the FCS teams are actually included by name - just FCS East, FCS West, FCS Southeast, etc. When I play one in the dynasty, I just find a real FCS counterpart to list on my schedule.
