http://www.yardbarker.com/colleges/eastern_michigan_eagles/282 Recent articles about Eastern Michigan Eagles en-us The Eastern Michigan Eagles need new bathrooms, and coach Ron English is ready to jump out of a plane to get them. English has pledged to skydive if EMU can raise at least $60,000 through its golf outing June 8 and other donations. Those who donate $5,000 will get to spend a day with English and staff members and skydive with him. That money will go toward retiling the bathrooms in the team's locker room and updating the fixtures and stalls. Yes, it's a long way from Michigan, where English used to be defensive coordinator, to Eastern Michigan, no matter what the map says. ''Obviously at Michigan you're not hurting for money when you're getting 100,000 in the stands on Saturdays,'' said English, who worked about 10 miles up the road in Ann Arbor from 2003-2007. ''In the Mid-American Conference, because of our following, the size of our stadiums and TV contracts, you have to be creative in terms of finding ways to raise money to help fund your programs.''

Glenn Bryant was arraigned Wednesday in Ypsilanti District Court on assault by strangulation and aggravated domestic violence charges. The 22-year-old from Detroit was arrested Monday. Interim Athletic Director Melody Reifel Werner says in a statement that Bryant's suspension under the school's student-athlete discipline policy will continue "until the charges are dropped, dismissed or otherwise resolved." Bryant was a transfer from Arkansas and averaged around 10 points after sitting out the 2011-2012 season.

Hitt went undrafted  but played professionally with the Arizona Centennials last summer. Hitt comes to the Phillies organization with a reputation for plus defense and the ability to hit for power. Signed on March 8, Hitt will likely play along side catchers Cameron Rupp, Justin Dalles, and Gabriel Lino in the Phils Minor League ranks, helping to develop some of the fantastic young pitchers. Matt took some time out of his schedule to answer some questions for Phillies Nation. Q1: Baseball America reported your signing with Spring Training already underway. What was it like to get a call from the Phillies with camp just about starting and did you know that they were interested at all before they called?

A 6’4 260+ pound physical marvel that displays a knack for getting around the tackle, Mulumba notched 73 tackles and 7 tackles for loss. Although the Eagles struggled through a tough season, the Quebec, Canada-native Mulumba still had a fine year and is one of the more athletic defensive ends you can bring into a camp. It was my pleasure to interview Andy for NFL Draft Zone. Shaun DePasquale: Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today Andy. Can you tell me where you’re training for the NFL Draft? Andy Mulumba: I am training with Jim Kielbaso at Total performance in Wixom, Michigan SD: What do you feel are your strengths and things you may need to work on?

Jamell Harris had 11 points and six rebounds and Glenn Bryant had 10 points and five blocked shots for the Eagles (8-9, 1-2 Mid-American), who ended a four-game losing streak. Eastern Michigan shot 58 percent in the first half in building a 30-19 lead. The Eagles maintained a double-digit lead most of the second half, mostly at the free-throw line where they were 17 of 30 after the break. Finis Craddock's 3-pointer for Central Michigan with 19 seconds left ended the game's scoring. Oliver Mbaigoto led the Chippewas (8-8, 1-2) with 18 points and 14 rebounds.

The school said Friday that Still is not being allowed to play. Still was a freshman at Providence in April 2010 when he and teammate Johnnie Lacy were charged with assault following an attack on another student. Both were suspended. Eastern Michigan says Still pleaded guilty Tuesday and sentencing is scheduled for Jan. 8, 2013. Eastern Michigan says it was aware of the criminal matter when the school admitted Still this fall. The school says it received ''numerous positive recommendations'' and that Still, of Detroit, had earned an associate's degree from Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn.

So, why did the Spartans beat the Eastern Michigan Eagles? Le’Veon Bell powered through for 36 carries, 253 yards and 1 TD. Eastern Michigan has an awful rush defense, but everyone knew that the Eagles were preparing for Le’Veon Bell all week long. It didn’t even matter. From his first rush, a 4-yard gain, to his last rush, a 40-yard gain, Le’Veon Bell tore it up the entire game. Whenever the Spartans were in a tough position, they gave the ball to Bell and all of the problems disappeared. Hey look, Bell had a great run? Dion Sims was a savior. The Spartans (once again) had issues passing the ball, and Sims was Maxwell’s best friend (forever? Probably not), racking up 6 receptions for 112 yards and a TD. He was great to watch.

You have to wonder if EMU is basically saying we don’t care what kind of repercussions will come from the NCAA for violating their policy on nicknames and logos that the NCAA deems hostile and abusive and their ban on Native American imagery at NCAA championship events. YPSILANTI, Mich. (AP) — When the Eastern Michigan University football team takes the field for its home opener this weekend, members of the school marching band will be sporting uniforms emblazoned with two of EMU's former logos, including one the school dropped 21 years ago amid criticism it was demeaning to Native Americans. The Ypsilanti school will still be the Eagles — the nickname and mascot it adopted in 1991 when ditched the Hurons nickname.

In 2010 season he had 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks. Quote: “My greatest asset, I would say is my size and strength, just because how big I am – I’m almost 300-pounds – and I’m pretty quick for my size.

It is not abnormal for a recruit or incoming player to break news of a new football uniform for a program.

Hey, if it works for Oregon, why can’t it work for Eastern Michigan (OK, scratch that). That is exactly how we all came to know about Eastern Michigan’s new helmet and look.

A time to rest and relax and reflect the 2011 football season at Eastern Michigan University, the football program made tremendous strides in gaining respectability. The Eagles finished the season with an overall record of 6-6 and 4-4 in the Mid-American Conference West Division. Eastern Michigan University football coach Ron English named the coach of the year in the conference says his program is still working toward gain even more success. English said everybody associated with the program especially the players that stuck with him is the reason for the success of the program. Yes, the Eagles did finish with a winning record for the first time since 1995 but Eastern Michigan University needed to win the final two games to receive a bowl bid.

The Eagles will take the gridiron Saturday afternoon against the Cardinals at the friendliest football stadium in the Mid-American Conference – Rynearson Stadium beginning at noon.

We played eight straight games and gave some time off for the guys to freshen up and it is a good time for the coaches to get out and recruit a little bit.” Now it is back to work for the Eagles and English said that the Cardinals are going to be a team on a mission and he is expecting Ball State University football coach Paul Tembo to have his team ready for the Eag...
