Central Michigan Chippewas at Eastern Michigan Eagles: In Pictures

The game itself wasn’t pretty, but the pictures certainly were.

the Central Michigan Chippewas trraveled southeast to Ypsilanti, Michigan to take on their green-clad rival Eastern Michigan Eagles in what was a rainy and grey afternoon.

Luckily for EMU fans, they were rewardexd for their vigilence on Saturday afternoon, as the Eagles crawled away with a 17-7 win over the visiting Maroon and Gold.

We captured the afternoon below in a 62-photo gallery for your perusal.
