Note: For my first post on the new site, I went with probably the first column I was proud of from my Central Michigan Life days. This was published on Sept. 10, 2003:
As freshman running back Jerry Seymour shuffled his way through holes Saturday, Herb Deromedi had to be cringing slightly, despite his glee over the new star.
The CMU athletics director has to be thrilled about the emergence of the tailback and prospects of several years of a potent ground weapon.
But as Deromedi watches Seymour go to work on what should be his long term canvas, the former CMU coach knows the he has five more home games on the outdated Kelly/Shorts Stadium surface.
Five more games to watch would-be tacklers' knees buckle and turn every which way as their arms grab nothing but air. Five more games for Seymour to cut and twist, juke and jive on the ancient surface.
"We certainly feel like this will be the final year," Deromedi said.
It better be.
