EKU Game notes.

https://ekusports.com/news/2022/8/31/-ek...higan.aspx

I can tell you one thing EKU is just as big or bigger than us. Plus they are play for their coach. They’re going to be fired up so we better be ready to go and avoid an L!!

Indeed! Very fortunate to survive it. Our retired SID had a clogged artery and fortunately a trainer suspected something and took him to St. Joes. Think an artery was 95% blocked. That is the old 'widow maker.'

A little advice for those say 50+. There is a rather inexpensive, non-invasive test, coronary calcium scan which takes about 10 minutes and produces images of the arteries. It is a series of x-rays.

A radiologist reads it and scores each artery. Scores on each can be anything from 0 to say at much as 200.

President Clinton had multiple blocked arteries I think back in 2004. President Trump had an elevated score on his test.

It can also bring peace of mind. I worried about myself having seen an uncle go through the bypass surgery. I'm good.

Let me add a bit more:

How this works: calcified plaque can be detected on these x-rays. This hardened plaque is what narrows the arteries and causes blockages, and causes things symptomatic of reduced blood flow.

The other thing, which this does not detect, is the soft plaque, the gooey stuff. This can, in time, harden and calcify to the walls of the arteries.

The answer to that is to check LDL.

As I grow older, there are a lot of thing which folks 50+ should do, the colonoscopy, PSA, etc. which we all know, but this scan, maybe check if someone needs to take those Areds2 vitamins to protect against macular degeneration, dermatology visit, chest x-rays for smokers, etc.

So much silent stuff which can cost someone their vision or their life if they are asleep at the wheel, so to speak.

Back on the track of this weekend's game (though thank you folks for the kind advice. I'm actually going get some of this scheduled with the big 4-0 coming down the pike quickly).

This week's Eastern Insider includes a good segment with Creighton. New sponsor for the podcast this year too, Fowling Warehouse, which is definitely something I'm going to have to experience when I make my way up there this season.

CC was quick to dismiss EKU being labeled a FCS school. I get it. He's gotta keep the guys focused and from what I'm hearing they are a good team.

To the EKU fans, will there be a contingent coming to Ypsi?

The Fowling Warehouse is a great place.

I would have liked to come but saving days off to follow my older daughter around golf courses. She plays at the NAIA level.

This is a Wendy's drive-through, sir.

Last practice before the game. So pumped it's finally here. We have so many questions that need to be answered like....
1. How much better will our LB play be.
2. Will Powell get all the reps or does CC work in Austin.
3. How good will our line look.
4. Is Grant Truman the answer opposite of Jose
5 will the students show out for this game. I think they will

Great questions

Coach went home today.
Looking forward to the game tomorrow night.

BTW, ESPN has odds for each MAC games, except this one. I assume because of the coaching situation with EKU.

I am seeing EMU -14 on a Vegas Insider (they list out several sports books).

-10 now, usually this much movement either means big money the other way or an key player not playing…..

BetMGM has it still -14 but not taking bets yet. They rope off some games until later.
EMU 12:1 to win MACC.
I bet on EMU to win MACC.

I hope you bet at least $100,000 do you could make a huge contribution to EMU football if they win

Heading out in about a half hour or so to get set up for the first tailgate of the year. I'm geeked!

Go Eagles!

Wish I was going. Cid, or anyone else, it would be great to get an update on what the tailgate scene looks like. I'm hoping we pack it today/tonight. So pumped about the game. Hope we don't pull an Akron and barely hang on like they did last night to St. Francis. (Man they look bad).

Sidenote.....CMU"s qb...looked great last night
