STUDENT LIFE

Lived up to students' expectations Friday By Adeline Meachum Staff Reporter

Rapper Big Sean brought high energy and an offering of his biggest hits to the 3,746 students who bought tickets for his Friday concert at the Events Center. By the time opening act Travis Porter, a hip-hop group from Atlanta, ended their set with a performance of their hit single “Ayy Ladies,” the crowd grew noticeably impatient for the main act to arrive on stage. The wait was well worth it. Big Sean soon burst on to the stage with an electrifying performance of “Mercy,” his 2012 hit single off his label G.O.O.D. Music’s “Cruel Summer” album, setting the tone for the entire show. “I loved the energy he had when he came out on stage,” Detroit junior Kelsey McKoy said. “There was never a dull moment. He kept his energy all the way through.” The rapper said he enjoyed the show as much as the crowd seemed to. “It was awesome,” Sean told CM Life during an interview exlusive. “I came early to CMU tired, but now I’m so charged. I hope I lived up to (the audience’s) expectations. I’d love to do it again if they’ll have me back.” w BIG SEAN | 6A

University promises CMED $30 million in donations By Adrian Hedden Senior Reporter

The College of Medicine is expecting more than $30 million from the university over the next five years. University support is just one of six revenue streams that will fund CMED. Combined with tuition, clinical and research dollars and other charitable donations, CMED’s current revenue totals $3.6 million. According to CMED’s founding

CMU HOMECOMING

dean Ernest Yoder, the Liaison Committee on Medical Education requires a multitude of funding sources for accreditation. “The LCME requires diversity in funding,” he said. “This is no different than any other medical school.” CMED’s Senior Associate Dean of Administration and Finance Deborah Biggs said that in its early days, the college will rely heavily on each source of funding.

Alcohol violations, arrests down in 2012 By Ryan Fitzmaurice Staff Reporter

The no-tolerance policy the CMU Police Department implemented in 2010 has resulted in a growing number of alcohol arrests and violations over the past few years. Other violations have also increased since 2010, but on a smaller scale. CMUPD Lt. Cameron Wassman said Campus Po-

lice and other law enforcement agencies in the area decided to increase efforts in 2010 to curb illegal behavior including underage drinking. The police department has no plans to change that policy in the near future. “Our philosophy has kind of changed,” Wassman said. “It makes sense. If we allow for things to get out of hand, things will continue to get out of hand, and it will create a lot more problems for us.”

CMED | CONTINUED FROM 1A “It’s expensive,” Biggs said. “You really need the support of all these revenue streams. We hope the college will be in a position to be self-sustaining, but for now we need the support.” The college drew $2.3 million from tuition, and $1.3 million from other revenue for the 2013-14 school year. CMED has not received any funding through state appropriations. “The state is cutting all of its education funding,” Biggs said. “They were not interested in funding new medical schools.” To draw more funding from philanthropic donations, CMED has embarked on a $25 million marketing campaign. Biggs said 40 percent of donors are new and have no pre-existing relationship with Central Michigan University. Biggs also said CMED is at about $20 million, or 80 percent, of its $25 million goal for charitable donations. “We’ve been going out and telling our story,” CMED Director of Marketing and Communications Jim Knight said. “We’re talking to people that never had ties to Central.

We’re reaching out to new communities.” In 2009, CMU initially promised its medical school $25 million, at $5 million per year for five years. In 2011, former Provost Gary Shapiro announced in a press release that donations were “likely to exceed $30 million.” The university also expects to contribute an additional $3 million in continuing annual support for the medical program, according to the release. However, it did not specify how long the additional funding will be committed. “The university’s $3 million support will be part of an overall operating budget for the College of Medicine of nearly $70 million,” Shapiro said. Biggs said CMED’s infrastructure is different from a traditional medical school. As state funding reductions and other financial shortfalls have affected other medical schools across the country, CMED has taken a revised “patient-centered focus” to cut costs. By stripping out departmental divisions and offering a “faculty group practice,” CMED will allow patients to see multiple specialists at once, rather than approaching multiple divisions separately to receive care.

“Any of the new medical schools are looking to form in the same way, so they don’t have these same problems 10 or 15 years down the road,” Knight said. “We have the opportunity to do something different.” Biggs said using the funds strategically will be a prime issue for CMED, but the college must rise to the occasion from the very beginning. “The challenge for us as a developing medical school is to develop in a way that is most efficient,” she said. “Our goal is to be as efficient as we can. We’re doing the best we can.” university@cm-life.com

ARRESTS | CONTINUED FROM 1A Michigan Incident Crime Reporting documents from the past five years, which document all arrests made by CMUPD, reveal alcohol violations have had a sizable upswing within the past three years. CMUPD only began reporting the majority of its alcohol-related incidents to the state in 2010. According to Michigan Incident Crime Reporting data, CMUPD reported 121 liquor violations to the state in 2010, with 81 total minors in possession reported. In 2011, CMU Police that figure nearly doubled to 216 violations, with 151 MIP’s. In 2012, however, only 123 liquor violations were reported, with 95 MIP’s. Wassman said underage students are taking a greater risk by opening a beer in the wake of the no-tolerance policy. “(Take) Welcome Weekend, for example. Law enforcement now looks at that with a notolerance policy,” Wassman said. “If you step out of line, if you break the law, you’re going to get a citation.”

Taylor Ballek | Photo Editor CMU Campus Police stopped two students and issued open intoxication tickets Aug. 24 at S. Main Street and E. Gaylord Street during Welcome Weekend.

Grand Rapids sophomore Nicholas McCallum faces up to $1,000 in charges including court fees following an MIP he received earlier this year. According to McCallum, CMUPD asked him during a tailgate if he had beers in his backpack. He said he cooperated and was not drinking at the time. “I’m stone broke,” McCallum said. “This has wiped out my entire savings account.” Defense attorney Todd Levitt said he has seen a noticeable increase in the number of students charged with alcohol violations. “This year and last year, it’s really increased.” Levitt said. “I

have definitely seen a substantial increase in MIPs.” Total reported arrests have also been on the rise since 2010. In 2009, CMUPD reported 132 arrests, but that number more than doubled to 285 in 2010. In 2011, total arrests hit their fiveyear peak at 462, but in 2012, the number of arrests dropped to 333. Wassman said he can not account for the high number of arrests in 2011. “This is still a very safe campus,” Wassman said. “People might not be concerned about their safety.” university@cm-life.com

Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers returning to Mount Pleasant Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers are coming back home to their alma mater on Thursday for a show at Hunter’s Ale House in Mount Pleasant. The show starts at 8 p.m. Thursday will be one of four shows in Michigan for the Lansing-based band’s “Future Talks” tour. “I don’t know if it’s the matching Hawaiian shirts or the saxophone player wearing a diaper made out of pool noodles,” said Evan Meyers, a manager of the band and representative of Fusion Shows in Lansing. “One thing’s for sure: you never know what to expect at a Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers show.” The band has been a staple in the Mount Pleasant music scene since 2010 and will be releasing their much-awaited second fulllength album soon. Flint Eastwood, a Detroitbased spaghetti-western indie rock band reminiscent of Jack White and Newday Dreamers, a folk-rock fusion band from Mount Pleasant, will be joining Joe Hertler and the Rainbow Seekers on stage. Tickets cost $10 in advance and $12 at the door. Tickets can be bought at ticketfly.com. - Katherine Ranzenberger, Staff Reporter

Obama’s Federal Reserve nominee could impact student loans President Barack Obama nominated Janet Yellen to head the Federal Reserve last week. While it is a somewhat obscure position to most Americans, the chair of the Federal Reserve is one of the most powerful positions in the world. How Yellen chooses to operate as chair could have a major impact on how students pay their student loans. One of the Fed’s key duties is to adjust interest rates. As a proponent of economic stimulus, Yellen is expected to keep interest rates at their current low levels for a very long time. That means student loan rates should remain relatively low for the next several years as the Fed tries to continue lowering unemployment. If approved by the Senate, Yellen will be the first woman to head the roughly century-old central bank. - CM Life Staff Reports

CMU seeks new associate VP of Global Campus Central Michigan University is looking for a new associate vice president of Global Campus. Pamela Gates, the dean of the College of Humanities and Social and Behavioral Sciences, said the university has hired the search firm Storbeck/Pimentel Associates to conduct the search for the next associate VP. The committee has also just begun to collect applications but hopes to conduct initial interviews prior to the semester break. The vice president is responsible for all aspects of online and off-campus expansion of the Global Campus and will also work closely with Provost Michael Gealt and President George Ross. Vice Provost of Academic Administration Ray Christie is the interim VP of Global Campus. He filled the position in July. Gates said follow-up, oncampus interviews will begin in January. Ross will fill the position early in the spring semester. - CM Life Staff Reports

Nicole Downing stood at the edge of the pool in the Student Activity Center, snapping photos and smiling as she watched her four-year-old daughter Olivia experience her first time swimming in a pool, assisted by her Applied Behavior Analysis aide Megan Hilts. Since 2011, the special needs program, Connections That Count, under the College of Education and Human Services’ Counseling and Special Education department, has been interacting and assisting children with special needs, providing much-needed social interaction and helping older children develop life skills. “(Olivia) loves the water and loves to swim in lakes. This was her first time in a pool and she loved it,” Downing said. The program is made up entirely of student volunteers who are purely helping the kids on a volunteer basis. There are no payments, class credits or special requirements for any of the students in the program. They are simply there to help the children and gain a worthwhile life experience. “If you’re doing this to fill a resumé, that’s the wrong answer. We don’t do that,” said Sault Ste. Marie senior and lead volunteer of the program Cody Gonyeau. The program’s supervisor and professor of counseling and special education Joan Hogan has been working to expand the program and reach as many children as possible working with other agencies, such as the Department of Human Services, intermediate school districts and referrals from psychiatrists and psychologists. “We have 20 volunteers and growing,” Hogan said. “We like to pair volunteers up with kids with similar interests, especially for the kids who need the one-on-one interaction.

We have great volunteers who really care about the kids.” The experience level of the volunteers varies from students who are working with special needs children for the first time to experienced students who want to continue to enrich lives. “I did something similar to this program back in high school,” said Saline senior James Gentile. “I’ve been looking for something like this since then. Helping these kids is a great experience.” The activities the program organizes for the kids range from swimming, bowling and rock climbing, to arts and crafts, museum visits and, for some, help with homework and the development of life skills so they can learn to take care of themselves when they get older. “We’re making a difference, especially for kids with disabilities,” said St. Louis senior Jordan Miller. “For the younger kids, we do fun activities and games. For the older kids, we try to focus on daily activities to help them live a normal life.” The program arranged to have some pool time for the kids in the Student Activity Center last month. Three children and their parents arrived and were greeted by a host of eager volunteers, excited to work with the children. Keri Powers, mother of 14-yearold Jeremy, cheered as she watched her son play pool basketball with the volunteers during his first time in the program, splashing and smiling with every shot. “He loves to play basketball and loves water. It’s great to see him so happy,” Powers said. Penny Lepley waved at her sevenyear-old son Jay as he played with toy boats alongside South Lyon senior Julie Kapler. “The program is great for the kids. It gets them out in the community, giving them a chance to interact with people,” Kapler said. The following day, a brother and

sister met with volunteers at the SAC bowling alley to knock down a few pins and have a blast. Jacob Huguelet, 14, and Shyann Huguelet, 16, have been in the program since 2012, participating in as many activities as they can with the volunteers.

“They couldn’t wait to come back,” said Jacob and Shyann’s mother, June Huguelet. “It’s not often you see kids wanting the summer to end sooner so they can come have fun with these guys.” studentlife@cm-life.com

More students than ever declare majors early By Mark Johnson Staff Reporter

Central Michigan University students are taking less time than ever to sign their majors in a continuing trend. As of Sept. 26, 59.4 percent of undergraduate students have signed a major, up from 45.9 percent in 2003 and from 34.4 percent in 2000. Freshman students typically have the lowest signage figures, at only 1.3 percent of the 3,903 freshman students enrolled this year. “It is common for students to have an interest in a particular major and want to complete a few courses before making a firm decision to sign the major,” said Director of Student Success Jason Bentley. Many students come to campus undecided in what they want to study. To help, the university tries to offer diverse courses so they can test the waters and see if anything sparks their interest. “We hope students take a vari-

ety of courses from many different disciplines, especially to complete the (University Program) requirements,” said Registrar Karen Hutslar. “This way, they may discover they have an interest in an area they had never considered before and decide to major in that area.” Students are also recommended to speak with academic advisers early on in their college career so they know how to approach signing a major. “For some students, they may not be aware of the steps involved or the process for meeting with a faculty advisor to review and sign a major plan,” Bentley said. While students do have time to decide on what they want to study, there are advantages to signing majors early on in a college career. “Signing your major early is not signing your life away,” said anthropology professor Laura Cochrane. “It allows you to take the introduction level courses so you can move on to the electives that you’re more interested in.

It also allows you more time to explore different options within the program.” Some colleges have an application processes to be accepted into their programs. This makes it even more important for students to sign early on. “In the social work program, it’s helpful if students come in early because it’s a program that requires an application and we have our own degree,” said Social Work Program Director Susan Grettenberger. “On the other hand, even if students don’t sign early, they can still start, even if they’re a little behind.” For students who are having trouble deciding on a major, CMU provides tools to help in making a decision. Lynne L’Hommedieu, the academic advisor for transfer students living off-campus, said there are courses, events and people who can help them choose. “(Students) can meet with an advisor or someone in Career Services,” she said. “We also have a one-credit career

and self exploration class that they can take. What I tell students is that this is a thought process. It takes time to make a decision.” Bentley said that while students should be decisive, picking a major should not be made in haste. “Part of the college experience involves exploring and either realizing or refining an academic major,” Bentley said. “While it is critically important for a student to select a major, it is just as important that this decision is made with understanding of the requirements and, ideally, a passion for the specific discipline or subject.” All students are required to have signed their major by the end of their sophomore year.

Students skipping class damaging to futures

Stay class-y, CMU

riday’s edition of Central Michigan Life helped to put the cost of skipping class into perspective by showing that by skipping twice-a-week classes, students lose out on at least $35 per session. According to CBS News, the average college student skips 13 classes per semester, or 26 classes per year. That equates to $910 in wasted cash for the average student each year, on average. While it might sound tempting to silence your alarm and catch a few extra hours of sleep in the morning (we’ve all been there), it’s not a viable option. In college, you might lose a couple attendance points or miss a lecture, but in the professional world, you’ll lose your job. The National Association of Colleges and Employers predicts the starting salary for the graduating class of 2013 to average $44,928. Even if you manage to stay employed despite skipping out on work, skipping work as frequently as the average student skips class would still mean losing out on about $4,500 per year.

The implications of skipping go far beyond simply losing a little bit of cash. Skipping builds a habit. Attending a four-year university is an experience, an experience all 20-somethings should take advantage of. Central Michigan University – along with an abundance of other colleges – boasts hundreds of organizations to get involved with, thousands of people to meet and a million different things to do, meaning it can be difficult to lose track of the central focus – gaining an education. While class might not always be an entertaining experience, it is a necessary one. A degree is impossible without passing grades, and passing grades become exponentially more difficult when attendance becomes an issue. CBS News also reports that those who regularly skip are three times

“Why on Earth would you do that to yourself ?” is a fairly typical response I receive when I tell people that I’m preparing – for the second time – to attempt to write a novel of 50,000 words in 30 days. It’s a fair question. Why would I do that to myself ? As of mid-October, I’m staring down the barrel of a November filled with sleepless nights, numb fingers and endless, looping sentences. A bit of background, for those who don’t know: November is National Novel Writing Month, often referred to as NaNoWriMo. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people – from pre-teenage girls to graying high school teachers – attempt to finish an entire novel in the time between 12:01 a.m. on Nov. 1 and 11:59 p.m. Nov. 30. Everyone has their own reasons for participating, I suppose. For

me, well, it’s a multi-faceted response. Over the next few weeks, I will be asking myself time and time again the reason why I’m putting myself through this. But the answer, really, is simple. It’s a matter of perseverance. The way I see it, if I can accomplish this task, I can do nearly anything. The writing process is rarely a pretty one, but when you add in the element of a time restraint, on top of a full course load, a 25-hour a week job, and attempts at a social life from time to time, it sounds like something only a madman would attempt. But that’s exactly it. See, if I can manage to pin down 50,000 semi-coherent words to form a story, for better or worse, that’s a big old check off the bucket list. And a lot of proof to remind myself about later. Because I know it will be priceless to be able to stop and think, “Look what you accomplished already. Look what you’ve done with your life.” I know as acutely as any human being that life is not simple. It’s difficult and complicated and messy as all great things are. But to know exactly what you are capable of, to know that you can overcome the odds because you’ve done it before, that’s what gets you through the tough stuff. So this is what I will remind myself of as I adjust the sign on my door that reads, “Do not disturb, novelization in progress,” and as I practice my “Ellen” interview in the shower (for when I’m a bestseller, of course), and as I scribble character traits and dialogue on the back of my algebra homework. It’s worth it to know that I’m doing something that means so much to me.

The doubt, the judgment and the general distrust of everyone else in your class makes a seemingly simple task into something monumental. This stressful decision is only magnified during the housing registration process, when students are forced to select their future roommates in early November, not even three months after freshmen have arrived at college. If the thought of trusting a stranger with your grade is scary, good luck trusting one with your constant company. With such a short amount of time to get to know those around you, how can you select your future roommates with confidence? How can you choose the human being or beings worthy of sharing a television, a bathroom and your own oxygen with for the next entire school year? I was placed with three complete strangers my freshman year and, by some miracle, got along with all of them. Two of them have since become some of my closest friends, and we’ve upgraded from sharing DVDs and animals crackers to sharing an apartment two years later. I, however, am. The exception, and I can’t help but wonder what might have happened had the Residence Life gods

not smiled upon me by placing us in the same room. I could be living with a pathological liar or someone fond of stealing. Worse yet, I could be sharing my bathroom sink with someone who fails to appreciate my sarcasm and love of twisted Lifetime movies. Different tastes in music, opposite sleep schedules and clashing personalities. The horrific possibilities when it comes to roommates are endless. So how can you protect yourself from a potential roommate disaster? Get proactive, get friendly and get out there in the community. Make small talk with that girl who lives across from you. Share notes with the guy who sits next to you in class every day. Actually get to know the other people in the RSO you’ve joined. These little steps will make finding someone you can stand to be around a whole lot easier. The Residence Life gods do not treat everyone with the same kindness that I was shown my freshman year. Before you take the leap of entering into a housing agreement with someone, I encourage you to stop and ask yourself the tough questions. Are you really going to be comfortable sharing your animal crackers with that person?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

An opportunity for CMU Welcome to homecoming 2013. As a proud CMU and football alumni, I look forward to a return to campus and the electric environment that is homecoming week. Alumni, students and fans attending Saturday’s 3 p.m. game vs. Top 25 ranked Northern Illinois at Kelly/Shorts will have

the opportunity to break a 17-game MAC winning streak. (Last loss, Oct. 1, 2011 at Central Michigan.) The stadium environment when the students arrive early and remain loud and energetic is outstanding. I encourage all students to arrive in the stadium early, cheer loud if

behind and louder when ahead. The boys will be prepared to bring home a homecoming win. So will I. Chuck Selinger ‘94, 98’ CMU Alumni Board and Football Alumn

STUDENT FACES Katie Conley is a junior from Sterling Heights who is majoring in political science.

What is the best part about being a Chippewa? KC: The community on campus and having professors telling me, “We will make this work for you.” The professors here really want to see students succeed. Who is your role model? KC: People underestimate CMU students, so I would say any CMU student who is doing great things with their life is my role model. What is the best piece of advice you have ever gotten? KC: Trust the process. Things will work out in the end. If you could have any superpower, what would it be? KC: To predict the future. As a college student, it’s scary to not know if what we’re doing now is going to pay off in the end.

more likely to remain unemployed after college and two times more likely to live at home with their parents. And skipping class affects more than just your level of success. It affects your education. It affects relationships with professors and other students – people who want to help you, network with you and see you succeed. The ramifications of skipping class can be seen outside the classroom as well. If you’re willing to waste your precious money by laying around and choosing to opt out of the opportunity to gain an education, what else are you willing to let go to waste? Employers who don’t see their workers willing to sacrifice a little sleep and free time will likely look the other way when hiring. By getting into the habit of being able to slack off on attendance, it builds a pattern for how to operate in life. So, it’s important to wake up, make it to class on time and realize the real reason for being in college. So, why even bother going to class at 8 a.m. on a Friday morning? Because, in the real world, the work day isn’t 50 minutes long, and you can’t drop a work shift because it’s too inconvenient.

Successful theater alum returns to CMU to help students learn their craft By Nathan Clark Staff Reporter

Health Professions Residental College uses grant to buy skeleton By Shawn Tonge Staff Reporter

The Health Professions Residential College purchased a new anatomy skeleton with a $1,000 grant they received from Dow Chemical for their environmental work. Members of the HPRC came to the Mary Ellen Brandell Volunteer Center Friday to pick up the skeleton. The Volunteer Center, as well as other campus organizations such as the Student Government Association, were involved in the review process for the grant. “Dow wanted to promote students getting involved in service projects with the grant,” said Office Professional Rachel Thomas. “They contacted Central Michigan University and asked them to be the middleman.” Ten registered student organizations applied for the grant last academic year, Thomas said. After a screening process, three RSOs were selected for the opportunity to receive $1,000 each. The other two groups to receive the grant

were Club Baseball and the Gamma Iota Sigma Nu Chapter. To earn the grant, the groups had to take part in environmental beautification service projects. HPRC students worked on two separate projects to reach the required number of hours. One team traveled to the Chippewa Nature Center in Midland, where they cleaned a pond and surrounding forests. Another group joined the Adopt-a-Highway program and worked on a stretch of highway between Midland and Mount Pleasant on M-20. The skeleton was shipped to the volunteer center, but before taking it back to the residential college classroom where it will be kept, the health students assembled the skeleton and took pictures for their website. “The skeleton will be a useful resource for our classes,” Midland sophomore Alexis Cherven said. “We’re all going into health professions, so we can use it to study for anatomy courses and to show examples in class.”

The skeleton features the main ligaments and tendons of the body, as well as the skeletal frame. It cost about $806, Thomas said, but after adding the cost of shipping, the price for the skeleton was close to the $1,000 provided by the grant. The HPRC chose to purchase a new skeleton because the old skeleton at the residential college was missing pieces and lacked the detail necessary for study, Cherven said. Director of the HPRC Patricia Cwiek said they have considered using future grant money they receive to fund further service projects. The group plans to apply for the grant next year, as well. “We do a lot of community service, typically around 10,000 hours of service each academic year,” Cwiek said. “We would like to reimburse students for gas, but we don’t have a budget that allows for that. If we had more resources, it would increase our ability to perform service.” studentlife@cm-life.com

After years of higher education and hard work, graduates of Central Michigan University head into the world, leaving CMU behind them. But some come back to help future alumni develop the skills necessary to be successful. CMU alumna and longtime Chicago improvisational comedian Jill Fenstermaker returned to Mount Pleasant, bringing along members of the Chicago improv troop “Revolver” this month to run an improv workshop for aspiring theater students and members of CMU’s Trap Door Improv troop. “I loved my time at CMU,” Fenstermaker said. “I’ve been doing improv and sketch comedy in Chicago for years. One of my groups, ‘Revolver,’ and a couple others have been having a lot of success doing workshops at universities and we wanted to bring it here.” While at a CMU theater alumni get-together in Chicago, Fenstermaker ran into Steve Berglund, director of university theatre at CMU. Berglund asked Fenstermaker if she would like to come back to help out the theater students at CMU. “Jill is a real sweetheart,” Berglund said. “She’s always willing to give back to the university to help the students.” Fenstermaker graduated with a degree in theater and journalism in 2002. Shortly after graduation, she earned an internship in theater administration at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater on the Navy Pier in Chicago. “There’s a lot opportunity to be successful in Chicago,” Berglund said. “We’ve got a lot of alumni there.” When her internship closed, she applied for a job opening at the theater and was hired. She is now an executive assistant at the Chicago Shakespeare Theater. “I sort of fell into improv,” Fenstermaker said. “I wasn’t really interested in being a working actor and auditioning. I was happy with my day job, but I needed a hobby and something to do so I took a class at Second City. It just sort of snowballed after that.” Twenty-five students attended

the workshop, eager to sharpen their improvisational skills. But not everyone was there strictly to learn improv comedy. Instead, they were looking to work on sharpening standard theater skills for when things go awry. “Improv is a great way to work on theater skills,” said Ypsilanti senior and business manager for CMU’s theater fraternity Sean Houston. “You have to respond to problems while staying in character.” Students left the workshop

smiling and laughing, some proclaiming it an amazing experience as they left. “Working hard at my internship helped me obtain a job, ” Fenstermaker said. “For improv, if you work hard, listen and keep at it, you’ll go places. Being at CMU teaches you how to do that. The hard work gets ingrained into you so when the time comes, you’re ready.” studentlife@cm-life.com

Colleges Against Cancer’s‘Pink Week’ to begin Tuesday in front of Bovee By Adriana Cotero Senior Reporter

Colleges Against Cancer aims to get campus involved with the fight against breast cancer this week during Pink Week. CAC, an American Cancer Society organization, holds events throughout the year to help raise donations and cancer awareness leading up to the Relay for Life in April. Pink Week kicks off at 11 a.m. Tuesday in front of the Bovee University Center at 11 a.m., said Lacey Johnson, a Southgate senior and president of CMU’s Colleges Against Cancer . “Last year, we were very successful with our table in front of the UC, and this year we’re hoping for more involvement from students,” she said. Johnson has been involved with CAC for three years and has been affected by cancer. She was her mother’s caregiver before she passed away from ovarian cancer in 2004.

“I had to physically see what cancer did to her, and looking back at 11-year-old me changing her bandages after surgery and going wig shopping with her, I don’t ever want someone to have to do that,” Johnson said. “My mom is my reason to relay and my reason to be part of CAC.” According to St. Clair senior and CAC Special Events Coordinator Cristina Guastella, Pink Week is comprised of three events. On Tuesday, students will be asked to call a woman in their life, reminding them to get a mammogram in return for a cookie. Bra pong will take place on Wednesday, allowing students to throw a ping-pong ball into one of the various bra cups that hold prizes and facts regarding breast cancer. On Thursday, the final day of Pink Week, students have the opportunity to show their support by sporting a pink feather or bead in their hair for a small donation. All events take place at the UC.

You Are Invited! Psychology Advising Night TUESDAY

October 15th Bovee UC Gold Room 5:30 -7:00 PM • Assistance with course selection • Sign a Major or Minor • Information on graduate programs • What can you do with a major in psychology? • Study Abroad information available

All Are Welcome!

“Getting a mammogram once a year is one of the best ways to detect breast cancer early,” Guastella said. “(With) bra pong, we figured it would be a fun way for people to win some prizes to help spread awareness, and the pink in the hair is something a lot of people do during the month of October.” Caledonia senior and CoPresident Kevin Wilder said the goal is to see the entire campus turn pink. “We want people to attend our events so that they can become aware and we can have fewer people affected by cancer every single day,” he said. Donations can be made at CAC’s table in front of the UC from Tuesday through Thursday. Donations can also be made online. “We want to put cancer in the history books for good, and we’d love any help we can get from students,” Johnson said. studentlife@cm-life.com

BIG SEAN | CONTINUED FROM 1A Program Board Concert Chair Josh Palmer, the Livonia junior responsible for the event’s preparation, was happy with the turnout of the concert. “Overall, people are having a good time, attendance is good. I’m satisfied,” he said. Rochester native Mike Rau was one of those in attendance. The concert’s party atmosphere was perfect for him, as he was visiting friends for the concert to celebrate his 21st birthday. “I’m just here to experience a big group of college kids and just chill and enjoy the show,” Rau said. “Central’s got a party reputation so I figured, ‘why not come up here and see the concert?” Troy junior Emily Herbon and Cass City junior Amanda Clifton were happy to accompany him. “We’re best friends and

we love going out together,” Clifton said of Herbon. “We thought it’d be a fun time, and we love getting involved in everything around campus. Every time they have a performer at CMU we go.” Palmer said he, along with the rest of Program Board, wanted to bring Big Sean to CMU because the artist was sure to be a big crowd pleaser for students. “Big Sean is someone who has recently gained popularity,” Palmer said. “He’s a Michigan artist from Detroit, and we knew he’d be able to bring in a good crowd and put on a show. We were looking to blow the roof off of McGuirk.” Sean, a protege and frequent collaborator of Kanye West’s, is currently on tour promoting his second solo album, “Hall of Fame.” Taylor Ballek | Photo Editor

Staff Reporter

Call me a fool I ran my mouth last week, predicting the rest of CMU’s football season after previously picking every game correctly. Just like athletes need to be held accountable for their poor performance, I too should be held accountable. But at least I have a good attitude about it. CMU was not supposed to compete with Ohio, win a dogfight on the road, upset the homecoming crowd and beat the Mid-American Conference East Division favorite. But it did, and CMU did it without its arguably best player, wide receiver Titus Davis. With Davis out, CMU turned to sophomore running back Saylor Lavallii, who had another career game with 184 yards rushing. Besides Lavallii, youth was at the forefront of victory. Redshirt freshmen played big roles in the final minutes. CMU wouldn’t have been in position to win without Joe Bacci, who recovered the muffed punt. Cooper Rush then fired a pass into the end zone with 22 seconds left to junior Courtney Williams for the win. All game, the general thought was that as soon as Ohio could score a touchdown, the floodgates would open. Ohio didn’t score its first touchdown until the third quarter. Credit CMU’s coaching staff for locking the high-powered Bobcat offense up for much of the game. So, what does this victory even mean? The team could be getting an invitation to a bowl game for the second-straight year. The Chippewas needed to upset Ohio, Northern Illinois or Ball State during this three-game stretch to have a shot. They got the upset out of the way on their first try. Their last three games are played against the weakest teams in the MAC, and CMU should be the favorite in each game. The biggest winner from this game? Head coach Dan Enos. Just when you think he is down and out, he pulls out a signature victory. A lot of fans grumble about Enos. If CMU can win its last three games, then it could be going to back-toback bowl games. That’s something to build on. Football programs such as Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Tennessee, Arkansas and Utah can’t say the same thing. We shouldn’t be surprised with the signature Enos upset. He has one every year. Two years ago, the Chippewas upset Northern Illinois, last year they shocked Iowa, and a big win against Western Michigan came in his first season. He has two more chances this year to add on to that list.

Signature win Enos calls Ohio win ‘one of my best victories of my entire career’ By Aaron McMann Senior Reporter

ATHENS, Ohio — Dan Enos emerged from the Central Michigan locker room Saturday all smiles, his face glistening from the sweat dripping from his cheeks. Supporters and parents of players hurled words of congratulations. Others came up to him and offered hugs. A few feet away stood Saylor Lavallii. The sophomore running back was on the phone with his

dad in south Florida, who had just watched his son break his career-high in rushing yards for the second consecutive week. Enos wanted to know who he was talking to, so Lavallii handed the phone over. “This is coach Enos. Fire Up Chips, baby,” he said. While this was all going on, chants could be heard from the CMU locker room behind them. On the field was the Ohio marching band, performing as part of homecoming festivities.

But the Bobcats’ homecoming was ruined. Central Michigan, a team few thought had a chance given their struggles and battles with injuries all season, had just upset the Bobcats, 26-23, a team predicted this preseason to play for the Mid-American Conference championship. “I told the players this was one of my best victories of my entire career,” Enos said. “As a player, as a coach — everything. All the adversity this week and the last two weeks we’ve gone through,

having to drive 80 miles on gameday to get there (from the hotel), the injuries … I’m really proud of them.” And then there was Titus Davis, sidelined for the game with a shoulder injury. As receiver Courtney Williams, quarterback Cooper Rush and cornerback Kavon Frazier lined up to talk to the media, Davis could be heard shouting: “These guys are the real heroes.” w ENOS | 2B

Lavallii’s rush for career highs pays off for CMU By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

ATHENS, Ohio — It is common for a running back to set a new careerhigh in rushing yards on a few occasions in his first season starting. Not like this, though. Central Michigan running back Saylor Lavallii is outdoing his previous numbers frequently this season, setting another career high of 184 rushing yards at Ohio on Saturday. “He’s tough,” said head coach Dan Enos. “He’s got great vision, great patience on his runs. And 215, 216 pounds is a big back, too, and he catches the ball fairly well. He’s just growing up right before our eyes.” The running back’s first of three

carries of at least 30 yards came in the first quarter as he found room to his right and ran for 30 yards, contributing to a touchdown drive that gave CMU a 7-3 lead. On another run, Lavallii ran untouched until he reached Ohio’s 25 and then stumbled to its 17 yard line for a 38 yard rush on a field goal drive. That increased the Chippewas lead to 10-3 with 10:56 left in the half. He was also there to convert on a third and one, leaving CMU on Ohio’s five on the game-winning drive. “Those are the guys that open up the holes,” Lavallii said of the line. “Whatever the yardage is, as long as we get a W, I’m happy.” When Lavallii has set career-highs for himself, it has paid off for CMU.

In last week’s victory against Miami (Ohio), he ran for 151 yards, then a career-high, and one of three games in which he has tallied over 140 yards this season. He also had 93 rushing yards in a win against New Hampshire, which was 25 more yards than his previous record. “We need to take a couple of those all the way,” Enos said. “I mean, that’s where we miss (injured running back) Zurlon (Tipton). He’s playing great, but we got to have coach (Butch) Barry do some sprints with them next week, so we don’t have to call four more plays after that.” sports@cm-life.com

Offense collectively makes up for loss of Titus Davis By Jeff Papworth Staff Reporter

Samantha Madar/Staff Photographer Junior wide receiver Titus Davis avoids tacklers on Oct. 5 on a punt return against Miami University at Yager stadium.

ATHENS, Ohio — Head coach Dan Enos was beaming as he entered a throng of people after Saturday’s win against Ohio. His offense endured another setback this week, losing leading junior receiver Titus Davis to an injury, and yet his team, a 20-point underdog, pulled out a 26-23 victory over the Bobcats. “All the adversity this week and the last two weeks we’ve gone through, I’m really proud of them,” head coach Dan Enos said. The receivers second through sixth in total receiving yards this season had combined to tally just 514 yards for the season entering the game, four fewer than Davis alone. In the first half, no receiver had more than one catch. On the game winning drive, junior receiver Courtney Williams was responsible for two, including

a touchdown reception on a slant for five yards with 22 seconds left. “When one of us goes down, we’re expected to pick up the group. I mean, that’s a given,” Williams said. “With him being out, it took a little bit from us, but in the end we had some players step up.” Quarterback Cooper Rush’s last pass was one of his 20 completions on 28 throws. He threw for 224 yards and had three touchdown passes and one interception. Running back Saylor Lavallii also contributed a career-high 184 yards rushing with three runs of at least 30 yards. “You’re down Titus and you’re down Zurlon, and those are our two most explosive players, so we were concerned on how we were going to get explosive plays,” Enos said. “I think we were able to run the ball effectively. I think that was real positive.” w WIDE RECEIVERS | 2B

Rush for his gamewinning touchdown drive, a 5-yard pass to Williams, and Frazier for forcing two of Ohio’s four turnovers. But it was the gameplan that made the difference. Enos made it a point all week to publicly talk about the need for other receivers to get involved, and for Rush to be mistake-free in marching the offense down the field. He instead opted to run the ball in the first half, with CMU racking up 25 carries for 158 yards (Lavallii had 131). “We needed to run the ball, but I knew eventually (Ohio) was going to start loading the box up if we could run the ball,” Enos said. “Then those guys would have to make plays outside. The big thing is you’ve got to run the ball. Even if you can’t, you’ve got to call runs to give them the illusion that you’re going to stay persistent with it.” True to Frank Solich form, Ohio made adjustments in the second half. The Bobcats began compressing their defense, forcing CMU to throw it, while allowing the offense to regain its composure. Not only did they take the lead in the fourth quarter, but it looked as if they would escape with a win. In a true testament to this team’s improvement, they were able to capitalize off a costly turnover — the miffed punt with less

ralled a pass for another first down for eight yards. However, it was one of two drives of over 60 yards that was for naught, since a field goal was missed by kicker Ron Coluzzi. CMU did capitalize after the missed field goal in the middle of the third quarter, adding a field goal to grow

its lead to 13-3 and scoring two touchdowns that were enough for the win. Williams credited the offensive line for capitalizing on the drives at the end. “It was pretty much our O-line working harder and harder and them getting us going,” Williams said. “Once it funnels out to the whole 11, we had the push and were ready to get in the end zone.” sports@cm-life.com

“The big thing is you’ve got to run the ball. Even if you can’t, you’ve got to call runs to give them the illusion that you’re going to stay persistent with it.” Dan Enos, head coach than three minutes remaining — and string together a game-winning drive that relieved on Rush’s arm. “Sticking to the plan, I guess he did that as far as running the ball goes,” Williams said. “He said he wanted to get out there and run the ball and show that we weren’t just a passing team. For us passing in the second half, as a wide receiver you love that. Anything that helps us get

a win helps.” The win marks the first time CMU has won backto-back games since its four-game winning streak that closed last season. Now, the Chippewas turn their attention to undefeated Northern Illinois, which will come to Mount Pleasant on Saturday ranked No. 23 in the nation. sports@cm-life.com

Junior forward Gosse scores twice in soccer’s 3-0 rout of NIU

Balance is something women’s soccer has been searching for all season. This weekend, the Chippewas finally found it. Head coach Peter McGahey said the team is settling in and beginning to perform consistently. “We have settled in, in terms of playing how we want to play,” McGahey said. “We have had a better idea of how to manage the game along with our roles and abilities.” Gregory Cornwell | Staff Photographer Defense led the Chippewas The Chippewas celebrate after an early goal Sunday against NIU at to a 1-0 win over Toledo on the CMU Soccer Complex.

Women’s soccer grabbed its first two back-to-back home wins of the season and now has a new leading scorer. Junior forward Laura Gosse scored her second and third goals of the season Sunday in the Chippewas’ 3-0 pounding of Northern Illinois. CMU (4-9-1, 4-2 in MAC) beat the two lowest-ranking teams in the Mid-American Conference West Division when they topped Toledo, 1-0, on Friday and NIU yesterday. Both of Gosse’s goals came during the opening 13 minutes, which housed all three goals. “The goals were not just little bity goals,” head coach Peter McGahey said. “They were all really earned, good goals. I was really pleased with our start, but more importantly, how those goals got scored.” Gosse’s first goal came less than a minute into the match when she buried a rebound off Nicole Samuel’s rocket shot that could not be contained by NIU goalkeeper Amy Carr. Soon after, Gosse was at it again. The new leading scorer went screaming through the box on a corner kick and headed the ball past Carr once again, igniting the loudest response from the crowd the team has received all season. “It’s great to get the two goals, but it is for my team,” Gosse said. “We try not focus on individual accolades too much. We focus on us as a team more than anything else.” McGahey said he has a special nickname for the kind of goals. “We would call them Gosse goals,” he said. “Goal scorers can be funny.

Offense sets tone for soccer’s win over Northern Illinois By Mark Cavitt Staff Reporter

It was a strong defensive effort for soccer on Friday, but it was the offense that set the tone early and often in Sunday’s win. The three goals scored by CMU is the most they have scored in one game this season. “To have the women play with such passion, energy and enthusiasm was very good,” head coach Peter McGahey said. “Our start to the first half was very good, and I thought we did a good job of as they rolled players in and out we managed the tempo of the game.” Junior goalkeeper Grace Labrecque had four saves and recorded her third shutout of the season.

Junior forward Laura Gosse scored from a few feet out putting CMU up 1-0, scoring after six minutes. With the two goals on Sunday, Gosse is now the leading goal scorer, surpassing junior midfielder Emily Cooksey. McGahey had emphasized earlier in the week that it would be important to score early in putting the pressure on the opponent. Gosse said the team’s ability to take advantage of scoring chances was beneficial for the defense. “Scoring three goals early in the game really released a lot of pressure on our defense,” Gosse said. “It gave us an opportunity to get some players in. When we don’t score, I think our defense feels that extra pressure to keep the ball

out of the net.” The offense continued to pour it on early. Gosse would score her second goal of the game with a header at the 11-minute, giving CMU the 2-0 lead. Senior forward Nicole Samuel got in on the action when she found the back of the net on a volley off a cross in the 13th minute, making it 3-0. “The goals we scored were earned goals,” McGahey said. “A lot of the things we have been talking about in practice and training really came out today. I was very pleased with how the goals were scored, and I thought we showed good maturity.” sports@cm-life.com

Volleyball falls short at home against Kent State after beating Eastern By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

After sweeping Eastern Michigan Thursday, volleyball was swept by Kent State on Saturday Even though the team was swept, it played one of its closest, most physical matches of the season. With final scores of 25-23, 27-25 and 25-21, CMU was within striking distance for most of the match, but was unable to come away with a victory. “I think we gave them (Kent State) the first set of the match, and ultimately, we gave them 37 points tonight,” head coach Erik

Olson said. “If we could have just hit the ball in bounds, the match could have gone a different way.” Junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre led the charge for CMU in the losing effort. One week removed from joining the 1,000-kill club, she continued to put up impressive numbers. She had 18 kills and 10 digs with a .205 hitting percentage in the losing effort. Junior middle blocker/ outside hitter Hallie Enderle finished with nine kills and 10 digs. Statistically speaking, the Chippewas played

a solid match, but they couldn’t pull together a cohesive match. “We had more digs,” Olson said. “I don’t think we served all that stellar, but it really comes down to our hitting choices. I think our setter did a pretty good job, but we need to have some other positions doing their jobs too.” After handling EMU with relative ease just two nights prior, CMU saw drastically different competition. “We passed a lot better on Thursday night,” Olson said. “I think Eastern

might be a tougher serving team, and I don’t think we showed up to impose our will. Kent State had some confidence after beating Ohio.” The focus, as usual, is on practice after the loss. Olson hopes to rest up some of his players in preparation for their next test Friday at Miami (Ohio). “We’re going to try to get healthy,” Olson said. “We need to get better at being us because that’s who beat us tonight, ourselves.” sports@cm-life.com

Veteran Schuette shows resilience over weekend By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

CMU got a career-best performance from skilled veteran Katie Schuette on Thursday night in its sweep of Eastern Michigan. The fifth-year outside hitter and middle blocker was part of a relentless Chippewas attack, keeping them in the lead for most of the night against the Eagles. Schuette finished the evening with a match-high total of 12 kills and 12 digs, helping her team secure an important win against a conference foe. After dropping its previous three matches, the team needed a sign of life to keep its conference season from getting away, and Schuette gave that to her team in Ypsilanti. “We had a great outside match tonight,” head coach Erik Olson said following Thursday’s win. “I thought Katie Schuette was phenomenal, and we really passed the ball around well.” She wasn’t as involved in Saturday night’s loss at home against Kent State. She went on to record five kills and six digs for CMU during the sweep.

Katie Schuette

“We passed a lot better Thursday night,” Olson said. Early on this season, Schuette was not seen on the court all that often. Recently, the graduate student has found herself in a different role for the Chippewas, patrolling the court, digging out and blocking those tough balls throughout the entire match. A native of Grand Blanc, Schuette missed all of the 2012 season due to injury. She was granted a fifth year of eligibility and is making the most of opportunities that comes her way this season. sports@cm-life.com

McIntyre shows strengths despite this weekend’s volleyball loss By Joe Judd Staff Reporter

Junior outside hitter Kaitlyn McIntyre, just one week removed from joining the 1,000-kill club, is playing some of the best volleyball of her career. Volleyball was swept by Kent State, but that does not take away from the performance she turned in on Saturday. The junior had 18 kills with 10 digs on the night. She also had a .205 hitting percentage. “It was very physical out there,” McIntyre said. “We just weren’t firing on all cylinders tonight, and we need to be able to do that to get it done.” McIntyre and her fellow Chippewas played a tough match against the Golden Flashes. Defensively, Kent

Kaitlyn McIntyre

State looked to be a step ahead of CMU at all times, playing physically and getting tough blocks. “I’d have to say we gave them too many points,” McIntyre said. “We had to make them play. Defensively, we’re a better team I believe, so I

think if we make them play, it’s a different match.” Since McIntyre reached the 1,000-kill mark last week, she seems to be playing with even more confidence than before. However, she said effort and confidence levels don’t necessarily coincide with her season statistics. “It’s honestly just a number to me,” McIntyre said. “I haven’t done anything different or thought about doing things any differently, but it is an honor to be apart of.” No other player contributed more than nine kills aside from McIntyre’s 18. Junior middle blocker/outside hitter Hallie Enderle had nine kills with a .286 hitting percentage. sports@cm-life.com

Guevara will make a base salary of $194,500 per year, a $14,500 pay raise, with builtin incentives along the way. Guevara coached the Chippewas to a win in the MidAmerican Conference Sue Guevara Tournament Championship Game over Akron a season ago, giving CMU its first NCAA Tournament berth since 1984 “This (contract extension) is just icing on the cake,” Guevara said. “For the last three years, we have won 20 games or more.

Field hockey drops to fourth place after MAC road loss to Kent State By Ian Callison Staff Reporter

Field hockey lost the title of Mid-American Conference leader Saturday at Kent State 3-2 in overtime. CMU now stands 1-1 in the MAC, and 6-8 overall. Eighteen minutes into the first half, CMU sophomore Abby Roth scored the first goal of the game unassisted. The game was quickly tied up when Kent State’s Hannah Faulkner fired one past Chippewa goalkeeper Sadie Reynolds. The Golden Flashes (6-8, 2-0 MAC) then grabbed the lead at the end of the first period, but the team responded with six shots on goal in the second period. The Chippewas then tied it up when

Jordyn Brengosz fired a penalty corner across the field to sophomore midfielder Kaysie Gregory, who then shot it in with minutes to go in the second period. In overtime, Faulkner received a pass from Lee to seal the deal. The Chippewas then played the University of Michigan on Sunday in a nonconference matchup. There, a pair of second half goals from U-M cost them the game against the No. 18 team in the nation. CMU had one shot compared to Michigan’s seven in the first half, but neither team found the back of the cage. Early on in the second half, however, U-M senior Ainsley McCallister slipped one past Reynolds, and Shannon Scav-

elli was assisted by Sammy Gray to ensure the win. Reynolds had six saves during the contest. CMU is now in fourth in the MAC behind 2-0 Kent State, 1-0 Miami (Ohio) and 1-0 Ohio. Ball State and Missouri State sit behind in last with a 0-2 records. This weekend, Miami topped Ball State 7-0 and Ohio beat Missouri State 3-2 in MAC play. With only six MAC field hockey teams, each conference matchup is crucial. The Chippewas take on the Bobcats on Saturday and will come home to play Missouri State before traveling to Miami (Ohio) to end the season. sports@cm-life.com

Field hockey struggles in key weekend matches against KSU, U-M By Morgan Yuncker Staff Reporter

Field hockey dropped two road games this weekend, falling first to Kent State on Saturday in heartbreaking fashion and then to No. 18 Michigan on Sunday. On Saturday, CMU fell in a matchup between the top two teams in the Mid-American Conference when Kent State won a 3-2, 72-minute overtime thriller. “We are extremely proud of our kids for fighting until the end of the game today, especially when we scored the tying goal in the last minute of regulation,” said head coach Cristy Freese to CMU Athletics.

Down 2-1 at the 69:30 mark, CMU managed to tie up the game 2-2 when sophomore midfielder Kaysie Gregory was set up by junior back Jordyn Brengosz after a penalty corner. The Golden Flashes scored soon after the 71-minute mark when Kent State’s Rebecca Lee hooked up with Hannah Faulkner to score the winning goal. “We put a lot of time and effort in (Sunday’s) conference game against Kent (State),” Freese said. “We are looking to improve defensively and offensively for more games to come.”

The offense could not answer No. 18 Michigan’s goals on Sunday, falling 2-0. The Wolverines only allowed the Chippewas to get a single shot off in the entire game, while the Wolverines took 17 shots and earned two second-half goals. Sophomore goalkeeper Sadie Reynolds recorded six saves on the day while only saving one shot on Saturday. The Chippewas will be back in action at 1 p.m. on Saturday to face off against MAC opponent Ohio in Athens.

Sometimes predictions can come back to bite you. Seth Newman, Aaron McMann, Jeff Papworth and myself all felt that as none of us expected Central Michigan to go down to Athens and beat Ohio. Seth called himself a prophet, Jeff said there is no reason to believe the Chippewas could win this game or any other in the next two weeks and I said the only way they could win is if the head coach and starting quarterback couldn’t make the game. Well Frank Solich and Tyler Tettleton showed up and they still lost, 26-23. When I heard about the upset the first thing that went through my head was, ‘Wow, I can’t believe they pulled it off,’ then I quickly remembered what I wrote and immediately regretted it. I didn’t give CMU a chance, nobody did, and it’s a good lesson that no game is won on paper, by past games or by preseason polls. The Chippewas didn’t have junior wide receiver Titus Davis, along with a plethora of other key contributers that have been lost of the season as the weeks have passed. On paper, they

didn’t stand a chance, but a healthy dose of the run by sophomore running back Saylor Lavallii combined with solid game from redshirt freshman quarterback Cooper Rush was too much for the Bobcats defense. Rush found 11 different receivers on Saturday, I wasn’t aware that there were even 11 options this season with how many yards Davis has tallied this season. Ohio was coming off a four-game winning streak after being beat down by Louisville to begin the season. Maybe we should’ve noticed that those four teams were weak (Marshall, Austin Peay, Akron and North Texas). The Chippewas could have won four-straight during that stretch. The Mid-American Conference East favorites at the beginning of the season, Ohio had a lot to live up to this year. Now it can still win the MAC East, but perhaps we learned that the MAC East is the weaker half with the MAC West promoting No. 23 Northern Illinois, Toledo, Ball State and apparently Central Michigan. As for the rest of the season, this team is looking at another season of being bowl eligible. The season everyone thought was over after Michigan is still being played. Upsets happen, this is why you play the games. The Chippewas have UMass and EMU at home and a road game to WMU that they should be favored. I still don’t expect much of a game at homecoming against the Huskies of NIU, but Ball State on the road isn’t a stretch, 7-5 this season isn’t a stretch and 6-6 is likely. Then again, a blowout loss to Ohio was likely as well.
