KevinKelleyFB,

EMU Eagles extended their Season into December 2023 with their Win on 21. November, Tuesday night.

I’m rooting for more American, Mountain West, Mid American, Sun Belt, Conference Teams to extend their Season this coming Saturday.

Wishing U a Grateful Thanksgiving Day & Weekend. #GiveThanks
