So yesterday, I made the roughly hour long trek from Ypsilanti to Toledo in order to watch the Eagles face off against the Rockets.
The folks in Vegas said that the Rockets would win by 14 points. Obviously they haven’t been paying attention because Eastern Michigan has a good defense this year. I figured that the Eagles would keep it closer and I was hoping that they could possibly even win it.
Anyway, more about that when I talk about the things I learned from yesterday. Right now, it is time for pictures.
