Page’s Career Day Ends CMU’s Season
Posted on 27 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
5 total touchdowns, including two kick off returns by Eric Page were enough for Toledo to beat CMU 42-31 on Friday and end CMU's season at a disappointing 3-9. Page also caught two touchdowns and threw another, and had 344 total yards. CMU showed a lot of fight as they continued to come back all day, and after their second block punt in a row gave them the ball inside the 15 down 11 with over 6...

One Last Game
Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
The 2010 football season comes to a end on Friday for CMU, and while the year has been mostly a huge disappointment, the Chippewas last game against MAC West rival Toledo gives CMU a chance to end the year on a positive note. CMU is playing better the last few weeks, as they beat arch rival Western Michigan on senior day, and then lost by one at Navy 38-37, when they went for two and the win in...

Going For the Win
Posted on 14 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
CMU traveled to Navy with not a lot to play for. A week after having a big win at home on senior day over your arch rival and a 3-7 record a late non conference game didn't really mean anything for the Chippewas. However, CMU showed a lot of fight and played with great effor against a 7-3 Navy team that saw CMU lost a heart breaker 38-37. CMU scored with 4 seconds to go on a 4th and 2, but just...

What Now?
Posted on 10 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
After a big come from behind win over arch rival Western Michigan the CMU football team now goes on the road for their final two games of the 2010 season. Up first is a non conference match up with Navy. On the surface there is really no reason to play this game. CMU can not make a bowl, and they can not have a winning season. But the Chippewa football team, lead by their seniors are a proud bu...

More Then Just One Win
Posted on 6 Nov 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
From the outside CMU's 26-22 win over Western last night was just a team having a tough year getting one win, no big deal, to have three wins instead of two, but for the Chippewa players and fans it means much much more. CMU had lost 6 games in a row and needed a win in the worst way, he comes Western, their biggest rival, on senior day for a game shown nationally on ESPNU. WMU had lost 4 gam...

Huskies Run Over CMU
Posted on 24 Oct 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
The first half wasn't too bad, besides the three turnovers. CMU fought hard and was playing ok, keeping the game close down only 9-7 at halftime. Sadly for the CMU football team their was a second half. NIU outscored the guest Chippewa's 24-0 in the second half to win easily 33-7. CMU is now 2-6 on the year, and 1-4 in conference play. To understand how bad that is, the last four years CMU has ...

Teams Going in Different Directions
Posted on 21 Oct 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
5 weeks ago CMU was 2-1 coming off a big 52-14 victory on the road at EMU. NIU was 1-2 after losing a tough game to Illinois. Both MAC teams had road games at Big Ten teams that next week, NIU winning at Minnesota and CMU losing a close game at Northwestern. Fans didn't think much of it at the time but that week has defined the season so far for the two MAC West rivals. CMU has been taking a no...

A Unhappy Homecoming
Posted on 17 Oct 2010 by Steve Schwanda.
For several minutes after the game I couldn't move. After CMU came back to tie the score at 20 in the fourth quarter and had the ball with under 2 minutes left to give themselves a chance to win, they had to punt and Miami of Ohio got the ball back with one timeout and just over a minute. The CMU defense did well to force a 3rd and 13 with 19 seconds left, and then it happened. Something that m...
