MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. - It felt pretty nice to type that city for the first time in four weeks! We're about 12 minutes from kickoff as I type, so I'm going to make this update quick:
First of all, the biggest difference heading into this game was right at the north entrance of Kelly/Shorts Stadium, where several dozen CMU faculty were picketing for a new contract. For those of you who don't know much about it, read the latest here. The administration has until Oct. 15 to negotiate a contract for the faculty, or we could see a strike. It's good timing for the faculty, considering today is CMU and You Day and Family Day - make sure those families of prospective CMU students see what's going on!
One last note: As we were suspecting, junior wide receiver Bryan Anderson is out with a shoulder injury. Senior Joe Bockheim takes his place. How this will factor into today's game? Well, Anderson had been struggling entering this game, probably because of the injury, and Bockheim has made some serious strides in his final year. Not having a guy like Anderson will hurt, for sure, but I don't think it's going to drastically affect the offense today.
