Bad Football

UM may be a bad football team, but in some ways EMU is worse. They are the cross-town shadow team. Jonny got his MS from there. He has had an obsession for the last two days of reading about them on the web. So he spent several hours fixing his iron key and several hours looking up history of EMU. Yesterday he found a website showing the coaches of recent times and how they did. Today he found one that goes all the way back to 1891. EMU used to be the Hurons when Angelina and Jonny came to the Ypsilanti area. Jim Harkana was the coach from 1983 to 1993 with a 42 and 63 record. He got the team to the California Raisin Bowl and 1987 was the height of the program. From there he quit and in 1993 Ron Cooper took over. His record was 9-13 and he went on to Louisville 1995-1997 and Alabama A&M 1998-2001 both as head coach. Then he went to Wisconsin, Mississippi and South Carolina all not as a head coach. Next came Rick Rasnick and the birth of Alberta. His record was 20-34. He was the last coach to have a winning record
