FOOTBALL IS BACK

Support the football team in the first home game of the season Saturday

T

his Saturday will officially kick off another football season at Central Michigan University. The Chippewas face the Kansas Jayhawks in the first home game at 3 p.m. Sept. 8 at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.

Football season is a fun and memorable time of the year for every CMU student, for one reason in particular — tailgating.

Hundreds of people decked out in maroon and gold come together with their trucks or tents, food, drinks and music to celebrate before the game. The parking lots and areas surrounding Kelly/Shorts Stadium are flooded with people who are excited and pumped up. Tailgates are some of the biggest parties of the year.

Alumni and students’ families and friends often travel to campus to enjoy each others’ company in what is hopefully beautiful weather. It’s one of only times students, faculty members, Mount Pleasant community members and alumni are all together in

EDITORIAL one spot.

Ask CMU students or alumni what their favorite parts about CMU culture is, and they’re bound to mention tailgating before the football games.

Friends, food, music and football — it’s a perfect way to spend a Saturday. Most students are probably looking forward to a chance to unwind, especially now that classes are in full swing and the homework and assignments are beginning to pile up. However, a lot of those students probably won’t go to the football game after the tailgate.

This Saturday, after you’ve caught up with your friends and enjoyed yourself for a while, go cheer on

the Chippewas at the game.

Take advantage of the free admission to sports games for CMU students — actually check out the game after the tailgate.

The football players are your fellow students.

They have all of the classes, homework, exams and studying they need to do that you do. Except on top of all that, they have hours of practices and training everyday so they can play an incredibly intense sport as a student athlete.

The Chippewas lost their first game against Kentucky on Sept. 1, so they could use your support this Saturday.

Take all of the high energy and fun from the tailgate to the football game and truly make it a Saturday to remember.

CMU beat Kansas last year, so it’s looking hopeful that they could earn their first win of the season this Saturday. Go to the game and cheer them on!

Ronald Marmarelli, 75, remembered as dedicated journalist, faculty member

By Emilly Davis Opinion Editor opinion@cm-life.com

It is a strange, and nervewracking experience to write the obituary of the man who taught hundreds of journalism students how to write obituaries. Even though Ronald Marmarelli won’t be able to read this, one wonders how he would edit this piece with his infamous green pen.

Ronald Sylvester Marmarelli died on July 4, 2018 at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, with his family by his side. He was 75 years old.

One of Central Michigan Uni-

LIFE IN BRIEF

versity’s most devoted journalism faculty members for more than 35 years, Marmarelli spent decades working closely with students teaching AP Style, reporting techniques and inverted pyramid structure. He simply loved teaching others how to be good journalists, his daughter Beth Marmarelli said. One of the things she admired most about her father was how connected and committed he was to his students; he cared very much about their success.

Marmarelli was born March 15, 1943, in Pittsburgh. He graduated from Duquesne University, where he met his wife, Deborah.

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

DOWN UNDER FOOD MAY REOPEN ON SEPT. 13 The Down Under Food Court (DUFC) in the Bovee University Center remains closed after a 4-inch cast iron sewer pipe broke beneath the cafeteria’s floor.

Nikki Smith, district marketing manager of Campus Dining, said the maintenance issue was discovered a week before classes started.

“Our goal now is to get the food court open as soon as possible, but that can’t happen until this repair is fully completed,” Smith said.

While the DUFC remains under construction, sushi, soup and packaged sandwiches will be available for purchase at Burrito Bowl, located on the main floor of the U.C. “Our team is working as fast as we can,” said Jonathan Webb, associate vice president of facilities management. “It’s been a little bit of a challenge, but we are looking forward to getting operations back on schedule.”

He predicts the cafeteria will reopen Sept. 13.

Webb said when issues with the pipe became apparent, Facilities Management had to tear open the floor in order to reach the breakage.

“The (UC) is such an old building with an old infrastructure, that (it) can be hard to navigate through,” he said. “The sewer pipe serves not just this building, but this university. Whenever you run water down the drain or flush the toilet (on campus), it’s going right into those pipes.”

Despite these obstacles, Webb said that he is confident in the construction’s progress.

“I’m hoping that later this week we will finally know everything about the full state of the place and when, specifically, it’ll be ready to go,” he said.

-Samantha Shriber, Staff Reporter

The couple was married for 49 years.

After college, Ron served in the U.S. Army from 1966-68. He began his journalism career as a reporter for the Lancaster New Era in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

He earned his master’s degree at Temple University in Philadelphia. Marmarelli went on to complete his doctoral coursework at Michigan State University before arriving at CMU. Journalism Department Chair Tim Boudreau considers Marmarelli a “long-time friend and mentor” who guided him through the journalism program in the early 1980s. His passion for journalism inspired Boudreau to pursue it as a career.

“He was a quiet, unassuming guy with a keen sense of humor who gave out green eyeshades to his students. He was sort of our departmental historian and the go-to guy on editing matters,” Boudreau said. “He touched my life and the lives of hundreds of journalism students at CMU.” Affectionately known as “Marm” by journalism students and faculty, he was known to be a tough professor. As an experienced journalist who emphasized the fundamentals of reporting and editing, he set high standards for his students. He wanted them to learn journalism the “correct way.” Students knew that Marm’s classes wouldn’t be guaranteed A’s, but they also knew that he was a person one aspired to impress. If he applauded your work, you did indeed do a truly exceptional job.

“He had a profound impact because he really cared,” Beth said. “He always wanted people to be as good as they possibly could be.”

Marmarelli’s high standards were not exclusive to his students. Growing up, Beth’s school papers were always proofread by her father. That often ended with her assignment covered in editing marks. Beth had a “love/hate

relationship” with being edited by her father her whole life, but ultimately Marmarelli made her a better writer and editor.

A lifelong fan of Pittsburgh sports, particularly the Steelers and the Pirates, Marmarelli often brought his Terrible Towel to wave in class. It was entertaining to watch her father go through a “range of emotions” when they went to Pirates games, Beth said.

He cheered loudly when they were doing well, but yelled just as loudly at them when they fell short.

“He was the first one to be on them when they were struggling,” Beth said, laughing.

Beth described her father as someone who “wasn’t a talker” but instead spoke when he felt that he had something important to say. In the past few years, he did a lot of his talking on Twitter, a place for him to offer his views on politics and sports and to

reach out to his former students and colleagues.

In his free time, he usually had a book, or his iPad, in his hands.

He had a strong love for music, and was a big Bob Dylan fan.

Within the confines of his office, which was filled with photos, books and images and quotes from magazines of websites, Marm always had music or NPR playing in the background.

Marmarelli is survived by his wife, Deborah, daughters Trina and Marissa Beth, brother David Marmarelli and grandsons Charlie and James Schroeter. Beth said a big joy of her father’s life was being a grandparent.

A scholarship fund has been established in memory of Marmarelli’s love of journalism and commitment to CMU’s journalism department. Donations can be made online through the Advancement webpage on CMU’s website.

America’s Top Colleges

‘Forbes’ ranks CMU 614th nationally, lowest-ranked university in Michigan

By Jeremy Agosta Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

MOUNT PLEASANT, MICHIGAN 989-774-3197 HTTP://WWW.CMICH.EDU/

614

On Forbes’ 2018 list of America’s top colleges, University of Michigan, Michigan State University and Kalamazoo College cracked the top 200, while Central Michigan University was ranked 614 out of 650 colleges on the list.

The 11th iteration of the list was based off alumni salary, debt, student experience, notable alumni, academic success and graduation rate.

“The Forbes list of America’s Top Colleges has always focused on the direct benefits

schools provide their graduates,” the article stated.

CMU’s average income for graduates early in their career was $45,700, growing to $81,000 later in their careers.

In comparison, Western Michigan University, ranked 577, averaged $48,700 and $90,000 respectively, according to Payscale.

In terms of debt, 80 percent of CMU students received federal loans. Undergraduates who finished college graduated with an average total debt of $27,000. At WMU, 66 percent of students received federal loans and graduated with an average debt of $26,633, ac-

cording to College Score Card.

Most of Forbes’ student experience rating comes from freshman to sophomore retention, the percent of students who stay at a university.

According to Forbes, 78 percent of full-time students stayed for a second year. Half of part-time students stayed for a second year.

Fifteen percent of CMU’s rating comes from alumni.

Some of the most notable former students include Antonio Brown and the late Dick Enberg.

Forbes’ academic success score came from academic awards granted to alumni and

the number of Ph.D recipients who earned their undergraduate degree from CMU. The final 12.5 percent of the rating comes from graduation rate, only counting the rate of full-time undergraduates who stayed at the university and enrolled for the first time.

CMU’s graduation rate was 21 percent for four years and 56 percent for six years.

Wayne State University, ranked 606, had a graduation rate of 11 percent in four years and 34 percent in six years.

WMU had similar stats to CMU, with 23 percent and 54 percent in four and six years respectively.

Chippewa Football returns to Kelly/Shorts Stadium on Saturday. Here’s what you need to know before the Kansas game and a look at the rest of the season

FOOTBALL STRIVES TO OVERCOME ITS ‘GROWING PAINS’ AFTER 15-POINT LOSS

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

D

efeating Power Five programs on the road is nothing foreign for head coach John Bonamego, taking down Oklahoma State in 2016 and Kansas in 2017.

The Central Michigan football team was unable to get the job done in 2018, falling 35-20 against Kentucky despite four defensive takeaways at Kroger Field.

The good news – the Chippewas return to Kelly/Shorts Stadium for the home-opener against Power 5 opponent Kansas at 3 p.m. on Sept. 8.

The expectation is to win, as it was against the Wildcats in Week 1.

“If we play the way we are capable of, we can beat anybody,” Bonamego said. “The focus is on us trying to get better.”

The Chippewas had nine redshirt freshmen and four true freshmen play in the season-opener against Kentucky.

At the moment, CMU’s defense is ahead of the offense.

Bonamego said that was his expectation coming into the season.

The defense features just two underclassmen in safeties Devonni Reed and Alonzo McCoy, both redshirt freshmen.

The four turnovers forced by the Chippewas against Kentucky included interceptions from cornerbacks Xavier Crawford and Gage Kreski. Defensive end Sean Adesanya and Reed both recovered fumbles in the loss.

“Those turnovers were all stuff we practice,” Bonamego said.

“The ball was on the ground a couple other times and we didn’t get it. We could’ve had six.”

The offense, on the other hand, lists two sophomores and one freshman. Young and inexperienced, the Chippewa offense is still aiming to find its way.

WHAT WENT WRONG? Poljan, in his first career start for CMU, went 17-for-27 through the air for 137 yards. He added 16 carries for 47 yards on the

ground. The 6-foot-7 quarterback could have added a run for 17 yards and pass for 34 if not for costly penalties.

On a third and four at the CMU 26-yard line, Poljan connected with junior wide receiver Brandon Childress for a gain of 34 yards in the third quarter. The play was called back due to offensive pass interference on Childress.

The other key penalty occurred on second-and-10 near the 50yard line in the first quarter. Poljan escaped the pocket and picked up 17 yards on the ground to the Kentucky 32-yard line. Instead of going for positive yards, illegal motion on CMU’s left tackle brought the play back.

Bonamego’s group made 12 penalties that cost 106 yards.

Meanwhile, Kentucky coach Mark Stoops’ squad only had three for 40 yards.

“We lost two explosive plays to penalties,” Bonamego said.

Central Michigan offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky said there’s a lot to fix after the team’s Week 1 loss but has already noticed progress from spring and fall camp.

Star junior running back Jonathan Ward was knocked out of the game early in the first quarter.

Childress, making two receptions for 23 yards, said the execution of plays on offense has been a key focal point during practice this week. He admitted growing pains as the main reason for minor mistakes – like penalties and dropped passes.

“Every offense around America expects growing pains in week one,” Childress said. “We are trying to get better every week.”

SCOUTING KANSAS Kansas, a member of the Big 12 Conference, lost its Week 1 game to Nicholls State in overtime, 26-23. Nicholls State plays in the Southland Conference as a member of the Football Championship Subdivision, one level below the Football Bowl Subdivision where CMU and Kansas reside.

The Jayhawks have lost 49-straight games away from home, dating back to its last road win in 2009 against UTEP. Despite their struggles, Bonamego is not overlooking the talent of coach David Beaty’s group.

“They are a talented team that has not won very much,” Bonamego said. “To me, that makes them dangerous.”

Senior quarterback Peyton Bender was confident in the season-opener, completing 19-of-35 passes for 187 yards and two touchdowns. Bender is accurate, gets the ball out quick and can beat opponents with his legs.

“They present you problems,” Bonamego said.

“They will be ready, so will we.”

'SHE GAVE ME A NEW MEANING' Wide receiver Terry opens up about Aubrie, the person who changed everything in his life

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Being a Division I football player, full-time student and serving coffee at Tim Horton’s comes with a lot of responsibility. At least that’s how Central Michigan wide receiver Damon Terry felt early in his college career.

However, it wasn’t a test involving school or an opponent on the gridiron that changed Terry’s life. His imminent life-changing moment resided in the results of a pregnancy test on Oct. 9, 2016.

Unaware of the upcoming battle and unprepared for it, Terry was set to be a father.

Discovering the news in Mount Pleasant during the football season, Terry immediately made a FaceTime call to his mother, Tashan Terry, in Lansing.

Tashan answered the call. She remembers Damon had an eccentric look on his face. Then, his girlfriend, Kiana Henry, popped into the FaceTime screen with a grin.

The two informed Tashan of the news. At first, she thought it was a lie because Damon would often play jokes.

“Damon, quit playing,” Tashan recalls saying to her son. “Show me some proof.”

Then, Damon showed her the pregnancy test as validation of what the future would hold.

Recollecting on the moment, Tashan respected her son for being courageous enough to reveal the news.

“Oh my goodness, I wanted to kill him,” Tashan said. “At the same time, I understood. Damon needed something to help keep him motivated.”

During nine months of waiting, Damon thought long and hard about returning home to Lansing. He contemplated quitting the football team and dropping out of school to get a job in his hometown and raise his daughter Aubrie.

Aubrie, 1, born on June 27, 2017, pushed Damon to succeed.

Thanks to support from his mother, grandmother and best friend Jonathan Carson, a senior defensive end on the football team, he decided to continue playing football and working toward his degree.

Cody Scanlan | Staff Photographer Junior wide receiver Damon Terry poses with his daughter on Aug. 19 at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium.

“

She’s my biggest blessing and I wouldn’t want it any other way Damon Terry Wide receiver “She’s my biggest blessing and I wouldn’t want it any other way,” Damon said at CMU Media Day on Aug. 19. “The best part of having her is there’s no way for me to stop (working). She needs me and I need her.”

Though Damon considered it, Tashan would not allow him to move in with her in Lansing. Not as a punishment, but as a catalyst for success.

“Damon had a free college education he had to fulfill,” Tashan said. “I was not going to allow him to come home and quit all of that. We all help out. (Aubrie is) going to be taken care of.”

“I didn’t know how I was going to play football, stay in school and provide for her,” Damon added. “But I’m making a way.”

His grandmother, Sara Nick, had a son named Damon who passed away while Tashan was pregnant, giving her the inspiration to name her newborn son Damon. The name built a relationship, which skyrocketed through Damon’s childhood.

“Before Aubrie, my grandma was what Aubrie is to me now,” Damon said. “She’s the most influential person in my life. I talk to her before every game and she’s always been there for me.”

Carson entered Damon’s life in 2014. When the wide receiver took his official visit to check out CMU, Carson was his host.

On April 20, 2014, Damon committed to join the Chippewas and Carson kept in touch into his freshman year. Little did Carson know, his new-found best friend would soon become a father.

“I never have really been around babies like that,” Carson said.

“I didn’t know how he’d be able to go to school, play football and take care of a kid.”

Countless hours of conversation were spent between Damon and Carson regarding the thoughts of dropping out of school and leaving the football team. When Carson graduated in May 2018, it proved as another form of motivation.

“I was just telling him, ‘Bro, you have a year and a half left. If you grind, you can get through it,’” Carson said.

Damon responded to his best friend, “Yeah, I can do this.”

Carson made it simple – he told his best friend not to leave him behind. It was the final shot at convincing him. Damon stayed.

Considering the addition in Damon’s life, Carson stepped up to help Damon. He adhered to the role of Aubrie’s Mount Pleasant uncle and has been around as much as possible. The defensive end takes her for walks, gets her ice cream and goes to the park.

“Everything is better now,” Carson said of his friend’s situation. “He is going to be a big contributor this season as a junior, so everything is working out in his favor.”

The best friends often talk about the future, like when Aubrie goes on dates as a teenager. In the film Bad Boys 2, one scene features Martin Lawrence, the father, and Will Smith, the uncle, interrogating a 15-year-old boy who is about to take Martin’s daughter out.

“When Aubrie gets older, that’ll be us,” Carson said of the film.

“Damon and I will scare all her dates away.”

When Damon had to miss practice due to anything involving Aubrie, the entire coaching staff understood. Head coach John Bonamego gave him advice throughout the pregnancy to help equip his player for a new game – parenthood.

Carson and Tashan remember multiple occasions when Damon has gone without in order to help others, especially Aubrie. Damon never puts anything before Aubrie.

“He has a heart of gold,” Tashan said of Damon. “There’s nothing he wouldn’t do to help somebody, even if he was in need. He’s a sweetheart, but probably doesn’t want people to see that side of him.”

Before Damon takes the field for the Chippewas, he calls Aubrie on FaceTime. As long as he gets a chance to see her face before playing, he’s satisfied.

A successful career leads Stanitzek over obstacles to senio

By Andrew McDonald Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Mitch Stanitzek knows what it takes to be a winner — it dates back to his high school football days.

The Central Michigan football senior defensive end is a Grand Rapids West Catholic High School graduate, a school that is currently chasing a sixth straight Division 5 title. The Falcons would be the first ever team in Michigan to accomplish that feature.

Stanitzek was a member of the program from 2010-13.

involved something more t winning — it involved ersity.

In the 2015 non-conference eason, Stanitzek tried to make a play on Syracuse quarterback Eric Dungey.

Before Stanitzek could get to the quarterback, Dungey was hit from behind as he released the ball. Stanitzek and Dungey collided helmetto-helmet.

Stanitzek was ejected for argeting.

“It was a quick play and I n’t have the time to react,” he

said. “Giving someone a concussion is never something you want to happen.”

Not everyone took it that way. He received death threats from Syracuse fans. There were tweets, posts and buzz on social media.

Those voices stuck in his head.

To this day he still gets asked about that hit. He responded by saying you can only block out the noise.

“You just have to turn away from it and ignore it,” Stanitzek said. “A lot of people want to get your attention and get you rattled. You have to just remember what is important because what those people say doesn’t matter.

Keep your mind in the right area with positive thoughts.”

Stanitzek put that memory away and proceeded to a season with action in all 13 games and 11 starts. He made 16 tackles, three for a loss and added a sack in the Quick Lane Bowl. He kept making progress and becoming more of a force to opposing offensive lines in 2016.

Things were on the up. Then Sept. 10, 2016 came.

Former Chippewas’ wide receiver Corey Willis scored a hail mary touchdown on an extra play to give CMU an upset win over No. 22 Oklahoma State. This is one of the greatest CMU football moments in recent memory.

Stanitzek was on his way to the emergency center, waiting to find out the knee injury he received earlier that day would put an end to his true junior season.

Stanitzek looked to other teammates for help, specifically current senior Devon Spalding. Spalding dealt with multiple collarbone injuries, limiting his time on the field.

“A lot of guys on this team have dealt with adversity and it’s just a tough game that takes a toll on your body,” Stanitzek said. “Coach Bonamego has done a great job handling adversity and teaching us how to adjust to anything whether that’s what life throws at you or what football throws at you.”

After playing in just two games, Stanitzek received a medical redshirt. Now, he was able to keep two years of eligibility.

In 2017, Stanitzek came back as a 12-game starter. He was fifth on the team with seven tackles for loss. He added 3.5 sacks to a defensive line unit that was second in the MAC with 34 total.

This led to him earning the respect of his teammates as they voted him one of four captains for the 2018 season.

A season that Stanitzek only sees ending in one way — a MAC title.

Fellow junior defensive end Mike Danna said there is no one else he’d rather go to battle with than Stanitzek

because of what he’s gone through.

“When I first got here he was a mentor to me as a true freshman,” he said. “I will forever be thankful for that.”

Bonamego said Stanitzek is one of the best at doing everything right. That’s put him in the position to be a captain.

“He’s a good student, a diligent worker, tough and he really just optimizes everything we stress and talk about what it takes to be a football player here at Central Michigan,” Bonamego said.

Stanitzek said he has always dreamed of being a captain at CMU. “I’m truly honored,” Stanitzek said.

“I want to lead this team and push these guys.”

Stanitzek said anything less of a MAC Championship wouldn’t be a success, but in order to achieve that goal, he uses his past for motivation.

“We have the same goal every season, to win a MAC Championship,” Stanitzek said. “Wanting to win and succeed is what I’ve always known.”

Back in 2013, Stanitzek did just that in his senior season at West Catholic to start a trend that is still running. With a much different route to this point, he will aim for the same outcome of his senior season at CMU — a conference title.

How Chippewa football could go 7-5 this season After Central Michigan’s 35-20 loss to Kentucky on the road in the season-opener, the Chippewas return to Kelly/Shorts Stadium this Saturday.

My prediction for the Kentucky game featured a 14-point loss for the CMU. It was nearly accurate in the point differential yet inaccurate in the exact score. The prediction listed discussed the offense struggling due to youth. My thoughts were correct, as quarterback Tony Poljan was unable to make big plays to earn his team a win.

Evan Petzold Staff Reporter

Central Michigan Life sports reporter Evan Petzold breaks down the 2018 schedule for the Chippewas:

SEPT. 8 VS. KANSAS JAYHAWKS WIN: CMU 38, KAN 16 A year ago Shane Morris threw for 467 yards in the 45-27 victory against Kansas.

Much of the same will occur this time around as the Jayhawks remain one of the worst Power Five teams in the country.

SEPT. 15 AT NORTHERN ILLINOIS LOSS: NIU 28, CMU 13 Northern Illinois defensive end Sutton Smith is a game changer and future NFL player. He will prove himself after being defeated

by CMU last season.

SEPT. 22 VS. MAINE WIN: CMU 51, MAINE 12 Redshirt sophomore quarterback Chris Ferguson is the starter for Maine, which features a weak offensive line. CMU’s Mitch Stanitzek, Malik Fountain and others should have a field day. Maybe even a couple interceptions for the young defensive back core.

SEPT. 29 AT MICHIGAN STATE LOSS: MSU 24, CMU 12 The Spartans are one of the best teams in the nation and will prove to be too much for CMU

in East Lansing. Despite the in-state rivalry and being one of the biggest games this season, MSU is too talented and well-coached.

OCT. 6 VS. BUFFALO BULLS WIN: CMU 20, BUF 10 Muskegon product Tyree Jackson is one of the best quarterbacks in the MAC but by Week 6, the athleticism of the Chippewas should be enough to steal a win at home.

OCT. 13 VS. BALL STATE CARDINALS WIN: CMU 41, BALL 3 Ball State hasn’t had a winning season since 2013. The team was 2-10 last year. Offense and defense will both have great games.

OCT. 20 VS. WESTERN MICHIGAN WIN: CMU 21, WMU 20 After last year’s game came down to the wire, the Chippewas will come out on top at Kelly/ Shorts Stadium due to the heroics of Poljan and Ward on offense and a late stop by the defense.

OCT. 27 AT AKRON ZIPS LOSS: AKRON 10, CMU 3 Kato Nelson is an inconsistent quarterback, providing CMU with opportunities to win the game on defense. Unfortunately, the offense is unable to produce against linebacker Ulysses Gilbert III and cornerback Kyron Brown.

NOV. 3 AT EASTERN MICHIGAN WIN: CMU 42, EMU 31 Eastern Michigan secured its first winning season in 21 years in 2016. This one will be an offensive shootout with CMU coming out victorious. At this point of the season, Poljan will have found his groove in the pocket.

NOV. 10 VS. BOWLING GREEN WIN: CMU 17, BG 14 Ward and Bowling Green’s Andrew Clair will duke it out on the ground, while Michael Armstrong cashes in on a late field goal for the win.

NOV. 23 AT TOLEDO LOSS: TOL 35, CMU 10 Without 2017 MAC Player of the Year Logan Woodside, the Rockets need a new quarterback. By the last week in the season, that should be figured out and the offense will be too much for CMU. The reigning MAC Champions will take this one.

PREGAME FOOTBALL SHOW Central Michigan Life reporters Evan Petzold and Andrew McDonald will go live on Facebook and Twitter at 2 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8 to discuss the football team’s chances against Kansas, whose coach holds a 3-34 overall record after three full seasons.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

FUTURE QUARTERBACK RECRUITING HIGH SCHOOL TEAMMATE TO CMU While escalating in the recruit rankings and developing on the field, Dequan Finn has remained loyal to Central Michigan.

The 2019 three-star dual-threat quarterback committed to the Chippewas on April 21, and he still talks with head coach John Bonamego and offensive coordinator Chris Ostrowsky often.

“I still have love for Central Michigan,” Finn said. “CMU has been good to me.”

As Finn’s phenomenal CMU experience coerced him to make a commitment, he is hoping the same will happen to his Detroit Martin Luther King teammate Jalen McGaughy, a 2019 three-star athlete.

McGaughy is currently committed to Northern Illinois and has been since March 11. He is ranked No. 1,324 in the nation, No. 153 at wide receiver and No. 32 in the state, according to 247Sports Composite.

Ever since McGaughy picked up an offer from CMU on May 31, Finn has been propelling him to side with the Chippewas.

“He is a big, athletic receiver and is a major threat to defenses,” Finn said of McGaughy. “That’s why I’ve been trying to recruit him.”

McGaughy has offers from Northern Illinois, Ball State, Central Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Syracuse and Western Michigan.

“I just tell Jalen or anyone else that we are building something special,” Finn said.

“It would be great if he could join us and we can build the best 2019 class in college football.

“I also tell him of what we can accomplish while being at CMU.” Finn said McGaughy and Bonamego have a superb connection, while the prospect is also close to wide receivers coach Marcus Knight.

“He told me he can’t wait to visit CMU with his grandparents and view the campus,” Finn recalled of his chat with McGaughy.

Finn plans to be in Mount Pleasant for CMU’s home games against Kansas (Sept. 8), Ball State (Oct. 13) and Western Michigan (Oct. 20).

McGaughy will be on-campus for a visit soon.

DEFENSIVE BACK EARNS MAC WEST PLAYER OF THE WEEK HONORS In his first career game for Central Michigan football, Devonni Reed was recognized for his defensive performance against Kentucky.

The redshirt freshman earned the MidAmerican Conference’s Defensive Player of the Week honors in the West Division.

He recorded a team-high 14 tackles with a fumble recovery which he returned for a 20-yard touchdown.

His touchdown gave CMU a 17-7 lead in the first half, but the team was outscored 28-3 the remainder of the game on the way to a 35-20 loss against the Wildcats.

Reed is a Detroit native who is a graduate of Belleville High School. His fumble recovery was 1-of-4 turnovers the Chippewas recorded as a defense on Saturday.

In the East Division, Kent State’s linebacker Jim Jones earned the defensive Player of the Week honors. Jones led the Golden Flashes with 11 tackles and a sack.

The offensive award in the West Division went to Western Michigan wideout D’Wayne Eskridge who had two scores and 240 yards receiving, which were both career highs. The Special Team’s award in the West Division went to Toledo’s wide receiver Cody Thompson for a three-yard blocked punt touchdown.

The Chippewas return to action at 3 p.m. Sept. 8 against Kansas for the homeopener.

Evan Petzold | Staff Reporter Central Michigan Athletic Director Michael Alford watches the CMU men’s basketball team practice prior to the Mid-American Conference Tournament game against Buffalo.

‘WE CAN COMPETE WITH ANYONE’

ALFORD’S CONNECTIONS HELP CMU SCHEDULE ALABAMA, OTHERS

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

John Bonamego doesn’t pay attention to team names, conferences, logos or colors.

Since his first day on campus, Central Michigan football’s head coach has preached to his team: “We treat everyone the same.”

However, the scheduling of games is not a decision made by Bonamego. That responsibility lies with CMU Athletic Director Michael Alford, who has connections across the nation.

Before arriving at CMU in 2017, Alford worked in athletics for the Oklahoma Sooners, Dallas Cowboys, Alabama Crimson Tide, USC Trojans, Cincinnati Bengals and Cincinnati Bearcats. He also spent time with ESPN. “The good thing is that I have relationships around the country,” Alford said. “I know the athletic directors.”

Alford called coach Nick Saban and the rest of the athletic department at Alabama and said, “We have an opening and would like to come down to give our kids and fans the experience of going to Tuscaloosa.”

After some back-and-forth conversation, the date to play the Crimson Tide was scheduled for Sept. 2, 2023.

Sometimes the conversations to schedule games occur at a meeting with many athletic directors.

However, Alford also makes and receives phone calls regarding adding opponents.

The speed of going from the first conversation to having a game scheduled varies between programs. At times, like with the Sept. 4, 2021 game against LSU, it moves quickly.

“Some other ones, we go backand-forth on contractual language, so it varies,” Alford said. “Once we agree that we want to do this, it moves pretty fast. It’s more or less lining up the dates.”

From 2018-2024, Central Michigan has intriguing games scheduled against Kentucky, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Miami (FL),

New Mexico State, Northwestern, Nebraska, LSU, Oklahoma State, Illinois, Penn State and Alabama, among others.

Even though Alford works in the athletic department, he remains focused on not only recruiting student-athletes but recruiting students for the university.

He believes playing on the road at big-name schools will help grow CMU’s brand.

Upon talking to recruits and current football players, Alford said the student-athletes all want to play against the best. So does Bonamego.

“It’s exciting and helps in recruiting,” Bonamego said. “When you aspire to be the best, you want to measure yourself against the best. We get a chance to find out where we are at. We welcome those challenges. It’s just our 11 against their 11.”

Alford scheduled a home-and-

home series against Wyoming based on a phone call received from Tom Burman, the athletic director in Laramie.

“Hey. Let’s do a series,” Burman said to Alford on the phone.

The two programs agreed to a series in the 2026 and 2027 seasons. The Cowboys will visit Kelly/ Shorts Stadium on Sept. 19, 2026, and the Chippewas will travel to War Memorial Stadium on Sept.

4, 2027.

In the 2017 season, CMU and Wyoming faced off in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Albertsons Stadium on Dec. 22. The Cowboys won, 37-15.

“It’s so far out, but it’s there,” Alford said. “The agreement happened before we played them in the bowl game.”

Another valuable piece in scheduling nonconference games is receiving a financial payoff.

Alford said it helps to make sure the facilities at CMU are up to par with its peers, an important aspect to growing the Chippewa brand.

CMU’s future non-conference schedules from 2018-2024 include matchups with Michigan State, Miami (Florida), Northwestern, LSU, Penn State and Alabama.

Graduate transfers experience culture difference at CMU

By Evan Petzold Staff Reporter sports@cm-life.com

Coming to Mount Pleasant has been a 180-degree change in culture for defensive tackle Marcus Griffin and defensive end Sean Adesanya.

Griffin, from Arizona, and Adesanya, from Illinois, are graduate transfers into Central Michigan University’s program. Griffin only has one college season left, and Adesanya has two.

Experiencing a culture change has come in two ways for each player.

For Griffin, it’s changing from a fast-paced lifestyle at Arizona to a quiet, humble city at CMU. “I wish I had a mall nearby, but at the same time you have what you need here,” Griffin said.

Upon arriving at CMU, everyone zoned in on Griffin.

Teammates were trying to figure him out. He was the first to admit it took time for other players to cozy up to him, especially coming from different habits on the West coast.

Griffin, living with Clay Walderzak, Devon Spalding, Alex Neering and Joe Komel, has never stuck to a specific group of friends with the Chippewas. He eats breakfast, lunch and dinner with teammates to build relationships with everyone.

“I probably spend more time with the defensive players, but I like to mess with (quarterback) Tony Poljan because he’s my dog,” Griffin said.

When Griffin opened his recruitment back up, he was considering Maryland, Virginia and Oklahoma State. He wanted to take one official visit and make his commitment.

Evan Petzold | Staff Reporter

Luckily for head coach John Bonamego, his first trip was to Mount Pleasant. An ensuing expedition from Bonamego to Griffin’s home in Seattle sealed the deal.

Griffin announced he’d be transferring from Arizona on Jan. 2, visited CMU on Feb. 17 and committed March 12. “(Bonamego’s) always been there for me, so anytime I have a question or an issue, I can go to him,” Griffin said. “Not too many other coaches are like that because he makes himself available.”

The defensive lineman was told during phone calls with schools that he needed them or the program will get him to the NFL. Bonamego said things differently, “If you come in and work, it can be yours.”

The honesty of Bonamego and the entire CMU staff sold Griffin on the program. Now, he is fighting for playing time as a defensive tackle heading into the season-opener against Kentucky on Sept. 1.

Adesanya, on the other hand, has noticed the change in the form of CMU’s intimacy. Coming from a Power Five conference school at Illinois, he felt like an aimless number on a roster. Now, he knows he is family with the Chippewas.

“Everybody here is like a brother and I really like it because we are so close,” Adesanya said.

When Adesanya visited CMU on Feb. 2, he promptly noticed Bonamengo had a players coach mentality.

“I was thinking how it’d be up there (at Illinois), but he actually cares about the individual,” Adesanya said. “That really opened my eyes and reminded me why I started playing football in the first place.”

Adesanya went as far to say he wishes he had played for Bonamego throughout his entire football career.

The 6-foot-3, 238-pound defensive lineman was limited to seven games over three seasons due to injuries with the Fighting Illini. He made 10 tackles in the 2017 season.

Adesanya craves to help the team to the best of his abilities, and he must learn the playbook to do so.

Bonamego said he would not risk losing the culture, attitude, mentality and confidence of the team in the transfer process.

All three of CMU’s 2018 graduate transfers - Griffin, Adesanya and cornerback Xavier Crawford - fit the mold.

“For me, it has to be a right fit,” Bonamego said. “I have to be convinced without a shadow of the doubt that these guys are going to come in and fit in our locker room, adopt our traditions and play our style. Otherwise, it’s not worth it.”

Marcus Griffin and Sean Adesanya have been reborn as Chippewas.

LIFE IN BRIEF

NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND CAMPUS

MUSKEGON 3-STAR ATHLETE CAMERON MARTINEZ ‘PRETTY SERIOUS’ ABOUT CMU Muskegon 2020 three-star athlete Cameron Martinez has 10 Division I scholarships but remains “pretty serious” in Central Michigan - the first program to grant him an offer.

“I have a lot of love and respect for them,” Martinez said.

The 5-foot-11, 175 pounder has offers to play for Alabama A&M, Boston College, Buffalo, Central Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, Northern Illinois, Syracuse, Toledo and Western Michigan.

“It’s like family at CMU,” Martinez explained. “There’s a really great tradition and the coaching staff is cool.”

Speaking on the coaching staff, he pointedly named head coach John Bonamego and linebackers coach Mike Dietzel as the most diligent in his recruitment.

Bonamego and Dietzel often make idle chatter with Martinez when they see each other and consistently invite him to return to Mount Pleasant for a visit in the fall.

Martinez said having CMU has the first school to offer him is going to be “very important” in his decision making.

After the first semester of his sophomore year, Martinez veered from

Muskegon Catholic Central to Muskegon High School.

“It’s been awesome,” Martinez said. “I love it at Muskegon. I have a lot of family that works at the school and wanted to try something new.”

Playing his first two high school seasons at Muskegon Catholic Center, the multipurpose 2020 prospect accompanied the team to a state championship as a freshman. Martinez, at Muskegon High, will be forced to escalate against onerous competitiveness.

He concluded with 1,092 yards and 15 touchdowns rushing, and 826 yards and six passing touchdowns as a sophomore.

Martinez can play quarterback, wide receiver and safety. If he picks CMU, the choice will be his.

CMU has three former Muskegon High School players on its 2018 roster — JaCorey Sullivan, Kalil Pimpleton and Andrew Ward.

Martinez is ranked No. 542 in the nation, No. 52 at his position and No. 19 in Michigan, according to 247Sports Composite.

Recent tests show high E. coli levels in Chippewa River

By Andrew Mullin Staff Reporter news@cm-life.com

The Chippewa River shows an increased presence of E. coli due to recent rainfall, according to the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe, and caution should be taken when coming in contact with the water.

The Tribe conducts tests once a week, at various locations along the Chippewa and Cold Water rivers, and calculates the 30-day mean, or average results, roughly every month.

The most recent tests done on Aug. 27, yielded high levels of E. coli in most of the sample spots. Most of the spots they tested were well over Michigan’s Water Quality Standards of daily E. coli levels, which is 300 colony forming units per 100 milliliters (CFU/100mL). Two of the spots tested over 2,000 CFU/100mL. The 30-day mean levels shouldn’t exceed 130 CFU/100mL, according to the standards.

These recent high levels of E. coli are likely a result of runoff from recent rainfall.

“We tend to see elevated

levels of E. coli, or fecal chloroforms after storms,” said Wendy Robertson, a Central Michigan University geology professor who specializes in hydrology, the study of the movement, distribution and quality of water. “Anything on the surface runs directly off the surface, into the stream. There isn’t that intermediate step where it infiltrates the soil, and gets slowly filtered.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Escherichia coli, known as E. coli bacteria normally lives in the intestines of animals and humans and is mostly harmless and is actually an important part to the intestinal tract. However, some E. coli can cause illness, such as diarrhea, fever and mild to severe infections.

In total, six locations were sampled.

Of these locations, only the School Road bridge crossing was below the safe daily level at 151.8 CFU/100mL. Below are their findings (the numbers on the left are the daily mean findings from Monday, the ones on the right are the 30-day means):

The Chippewa River flows through Nelson Park on Aug. 31.

• School Rd bridge crossing, 151.8 CFU/100mL ; 453.36 CFU/100mL • Cold Water River bridge crossing, 739 CFU/100mL ; 633.86 CFU/100mL • Chipp-A-Waters Park, 2,005 CFU/100mL ; 238.66 CFU/100mL • Meridian Park, 1,465 CFU/100mL ; 1030.02

CFU/100mL • Chippewa Rd bridge crossing, 1,571.5 CFU/100mL ; 902.74 CFU/100mL • North Branch Chippewa River, 2005 CFU/100mL ; 542.22 CFU/100mL These results show a drastic increase from the previous month. The previous report,

#THROWBACKTHURSDAY O

n Aug. 31, 1979, Central Michigan Life published a story titled "Gridders lack consistency; opener concerns Deromedi."

In the story written by sports writer John Myers, Herb Deromedi, thenhead coach of the Central Michigan Chippewas football team, shared his concerns about the upcoming season, citing the Chippewas' performance during scrimmages the previous week as a sign the team still needed work.

"I don't feel we're ready to open against as powerful a team as Western, however, we're working toward it," Deromedi said.

Not only did the Chippewas win the opening game of the season against Western 10-0 on Sept. 8, the team would go undefeated for the rest of

the season, with a tie against the Toledo Rockets on Nov. 3 marking the only game the Chippewas didn't win.

The team also won the Mid-American Conference championship with eight wins, no losses and one tie.

Quarterback Gary Hogeboom led the team statistically with 1,404 passing yards and would later be named the teams most valuable player, as well as the MAC Offensive Player of the Year.

Hogeboom was selected by the Dallas Cowboys in the 1980 National Football League draft, playing on the team for six years. Before retiring in 1990, Hogeboom would also play for the Indianapolis Colts, the Phoenix Cardinals and the Washington Redskins.

posted to Facebook on July 18, shows only two of the locations above the safe 30-day mean level: North Branch Chippewa River near Meridian Rd at 802.62 CFU/100mL, and Chipp-A-Waters Park at 270.66 CFU/100mL. The North Branch flows into the main branch of the Chippewa River, near

Chipp-A-Waters Park. According to the Tribe’s water specialist, Kellie Henige, they have been testing high levels of E. coli at the North Branch location for a while.

“The North Branch has been dirtier for E. coli since the program started,” Henige said.

The Michigan Department of Environmental Equality study conducted in August 2016 concluded that Beal City was draining raw sewage into a local stream. The stream is Wagner Drain, which flows into the North Branch of the Chippewa River.

Four of the samples taken at the time exceeded 1,000,000 CFU/100mL. According to Julia Miller, who helped conduct the study, MDEQ made Nottawa Township (where Beal City is located) sign an Administrative Consent Order, which gives the township actions that need to be taken to fix the problem.

When any of these levels are exceeded, it’s best to avoid any full body contact with the effected area, according to the Tribe. Robertson also recommends not exposing any open cuts to the water or ingesting.
