Homecoming Saturday, Oct. 15 • 3 p.m. (EDT)


Happy Homecoming CMU is 55-28-1 all-time in Homecoming games. The Chippewas had won five straight Homecoming games prior to last season’s 27-20 loss to Miami. CMU defeated Eastern Michigan in its 2009 Homecoming game, 56-8. CMU Welcomes Back 1966 IIAC Champions The CMU Athletics Department is hosting a 45th anniversary reunion for the 1966 football team that won the Interstate Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship. The 1966 Chippewas won their final five games in Bill Kelly's final season as head coach to claim the program's seventh of nine IIAC titles. After starting the season 0-5, including two losses by a touchdown or less, the Chippewas out-scored their final five opponents by a combined score of 150-26. CMU Athletics Celebrates 2011 Enberg Award Winners Senior gymnast Kristin Teubner will be recognized during today's game as the 2011 Dick Enberg Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The award, voted on during the spring, is presented annually to a junior student-athlete who excels at the highest levels athletically and academically. A health fitness major with a 3.70 GPA, Teubner was selected Mid-American Conference Co-Gymnast of the Year in 2011 and won three events at the MAC Championships. Also recognized during today's game will be the CMU soccer and baseball programs, recipients of the Dick Enberg Team Leadership Award. The Team Leadership Award is presented annually to a male and female program that best meets five criteria: overall grade-point average, academic progress rate, community service, athletic performance and commitment to excellence. Take a Kid to the Game Day at Kelly/Shorts Stadium CMU is participating in the NCAA's Take a Kid to the Game Day promotion as part of Saturday's game against Eastern Michigan. All kids ages 12 and under will be admitted free to Saturday's game when they are accompanied by a paid adult. Pintek, Spalding Selected Honorary Captains The CMU football program is hosting former lettermen as honorary captains for each game this season. Today’s honorary captains are Mike Pintek and Lyle Spalding, who are representing the 1966 IIAC championship team. Both Pintek and Spalding were linemen who earned All-IIAC first team honors during the careers at CMU.
