The Honeymoon's Over (5-4).


Well, 3-0 was nice while it lasted, but things have certainly evened out for the plucky Eagles of Ypsilanti. In the last 6 games, EMU (5-4) is 2-4, including blowouts on the road to three BCS opponents: Ohio State, Vanderbilt, and Virginia. There was a close conference win at home against Ohio and an overtime win at Ball State...but then the disaster: A blowout loss at home to divisional foe Toledo, 45-7. With three games left, all against conference opponents, the goal of a divisional title has taken a back seat to simply reaching 6 wins. The fan base still seems happy with Coach Journeyman, though, and that makes sense given Eastern's zero-win total in '09.

Army - W 17-7
at Miami (OH) - W 19-7
Central Mich. - W 24-14
at #9 Ohio State - L 7-35
Ohio - W 24-18
at Vanderbilt - L 14-35
at Ball State - W 31-28
at Virginia - L 0-26
Toledo - L 7-45

Remaining games:

at Western Mich.
at Buffalo
Northern Ill.

Sidenote: I gotta be honest here, this team SUCKS. Also, EA needs to patch the dropped passes. I understand it happens, but not 10 times a game. Anyways, I doubt any big schools will be calling for Ace after this season.
