The Rise of Eastern Michigan
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Before Chris Creighton’s arrival at Eastern Michigan, the program was in a bad place. The athletic department was bleeding money, fans were calling for the school to drop down to the FCS level, and they seemed to be in college football purgatory. Creighton has turned the program around leading them to a handful of bowl wins and their most consistent success when it comes to winning in school history. This is the story of the rise of Eastern Michigan Football.

That was the funniest Ypsilanti pronunciation ive heard
I love my Eagles, and it's so good to see them on the rise. Anytime time I see that block E my heart swells with pride!
It's funny that they say at the beginning "No one settles here, they just give up."---Because honestly, I am a diehard Wolverines fan, but have lived in Colorado (place of birth), New York, and Colorado again for my whole life-----but when I have visited Ypsilanti, I have always thought I could live there and when I finish my doctorate here in Colorado, I am looking to move there! No lie.
It's actually a pretty good place to live now. Close to so many things, great under the radar places to eat and drink and it's actually pretty affordable. I'd live there if I wasn't stuck in Texas.
@@christopherquijano1620 I agree! I thought it was a nice town.

I would love them more if their mascot was the EMUs like it’s supposed to be
My parents went to U of Toledo when I was a kid and EMU used the Hurons for their teams at the time. Some time later, they dropped their Native American mascot and shifted to the ridiculously vanilla Eagles.
When I attended Eastern in the late 90s, I too felt that they had missed a golden opportunity to use a unique mascot like the Emus.
I dont know how. But i am such a diehard for EMU to succeed. LET'S GO EAGLES. Love from Greece
❤️
Funny enough Ypsilanti (the town EMU is in) is named after a Greek war hero and had/still has a pretty big greek population that was an influx from Detroit during the peak of the auto industry. There’s even a statue of the guy and a Greek flag flying next to the American one in front of a famous water tower near the university
As someone who lives in Michigan I never once looked at eastern Michigan when I was looking at colleges. Their football program was lacking compared to central and western but with a 2.4 gpa western would’ve been my only option. I never tried because I never went to college but if I go to college I might have to look into eastern Michigan
EMU has a nicer campus than CMU and WMU.
@@miket5057 yeah I know but I was trying to look for football based schools at the time out of the three EMU was the worst compared to the other two
@EKREBORN573 it’s D2 tho I was looking for D1 but my buddy went to SVSU so that was my other option I didn’t even think about GVSU because those two are rivals😂😂
I am in the Marching Band in a few of the clips shown which is pretty sick
Idaho is going great at the fcs level wonder how emu would do
Oh bro look at thier first few years at the FCS. The transition was nothing close to smooth. Meanwhile NMSU who also got kicked out of the SBC decided to stay FBS and just joined CUSA and played in their championship. Also not a smooth transition. Interesting to compare the 2
I went to EMU when they first brought Creighton in
UA-camr pronouncing Ypsilanti challenge: Difficulty Impossible
Pronounced, Ip-sil-and-tee, and it rhymes with the catch phrase, "Getting tipsy [drunk] in Ypsi".
It's also the town immediately next door to Ann Arbor where the big-big brother, Univeristy of Michigan Wolverines, reside. Could consider it between Ann Arbor and Detroit, but it's actually more like a more affordable neighborhood of Ann Arbor.
I'd say it's more like "ip-si-lani"
Hell yeah!!!!
my algebra teacher played qb for them
was he good
@@KanyeSoutheast9347 he was pretty good.
Nice
The Fighting Emu’s !!!
I think they can win the max this year
I got a Football Scholarships from EMU and Kent State in 1987... I decided to play at Div. III...HAHAHA.... Creighton is a great coach... He should stay.. just ask for 7% raise every year +50,000 dollars and the same for his Assistant coaches with the 50,000 going to salary bonus
Omg why did u pronounce Ypsilanti like that😂it’s pronounced how it’s spelled use the Y😂😂😂😂😂😂
not even that.. the LONTI at the end instead of ypsiLANTI is what got me
We don’t not use the Y in Michigan
It’s pronounced ip-suh-lan-tee
@@brettbeaver103 I agree with this, but many people do actually pronounce the Y I been in Mich my whole life and went to EMU but I prefer not to pronounce Y for sure
Yip-sih-lan-tee
You cant even pronouce Ypsilanti but yet you slam the town. Also, saying "MAC Conference" is kinda dumb (Mid-American Conference Conference?). Be better.
You are lucky he even made a video on them
@@pascho1057"Lucky" okay loser
Repent and trust in Jesus you will be saved
No
God doesn't listen to what I say. God doesn't listen to what I say. So very so very hard. And you don't get a refund if you over pray
Jesus didn't save me from my priest lmao as a matter of fact, the church put him in a new state to find new victims. But yeah, just pray your problems away or something
I’m bouta pray my priest doesn’t touch me😂
ypsi ain’t that bad cuzzo 😂
Ip-sa-lanti
