So long as EMU forfeits first...and provides a police escort and for our players and a...actually, why exactly should the OHIO players be punished, by being sent door to door in Michigan, to talk to folks about "gun violence" (rather than other kinds of violence? crime in general? the importance of contacting the police rather than intervene in a dangerous situation? the importance of either living in safe neighborhoods or locking your doors and traveling in groups to lessen the risks of robbery?) to talk about something that happened to an EMU player in Ypsilanti in his apartment building?

And you think this would generate positive media coverage? I wondered what you meant by "crime riddled Ypsilanti", then I read this story from the Ypsi Courier.  The campus area seems to be ok, but there have been three deaths -- which I presume were murders -- off-campus in the past year.  Not sure if they were students or others.  But it's also interesting that the Ypsi police dept didn't bother to send a rep to the community forum they had yesterday.
