Though I would expect that you knew of this by now I would expect an inspired effort from CMU Saturday.
Central Michigan Athletics mourns the loss of Don Chiodo, the voice of the Chippewas, who passed away on Wednesday.
"I am truly devastated," said Michael Alford, Zyzelewski Family associate vice president/director of athletics. "Don was an important part of our athletics family and his passing is a great loss. Don was one of the fiercest advocates for all our programs and had a passion for telling the great stories of our student-athletes."
Chiodo, a 10-year veteran of the Chippewa Sports Network, handled the play-by-play duties for football and men's basketball. He also was the host of the Coach Mac Show and Sideliners radio show.
"Today we lost a true CMU Chippewa; someone who cared deeply about our program," said head football coach Jim McElwain. "Working with Don was a real pleasure as it was clear he had a passion for CMU and our success. We will all rally around his family through this tragedy and ensure they know how much Don meant to this program and university."
Chiodo was a 1990 CMU graduate of the broadcasting program. He served as the pregame and halftime show host from 1996-99 and in 2009, and also served as a color analyst for select CMU basketball broadcasts for two seasons before taking his current role.
"This is a very sad day for myself and for a great number of people connected to CMU," said men's basketball head coach Keno Davis. "We lost a friend and someone who could routinely bring a smile to your face. Don's love for CMU Chippewa athletics came out not only in his broadcasts, but every time we visited. We miss him greatly and our thoughts and prayers go out to his family."
Chiodo worked as a financial advisor for the past 15 years. He also worked as a broadcaster for Michigan Talk Radio Network (2003-06); WNEM-TV (1997-2002); WTCM Radio and WPBN-TV (1991-1996); and WCEN Radio (1985-91).
"Words can't describe the hurt I feel for his family and they are in our thoughts and prayers. Don will always be remembered as the voice of the Chippewas, a legacy that will go on forever," Alford said.

I was on CMU prior to this but I'm sure the Chips will dedicate this one to Don.

Any take on NW vs Ferris St?
What line you have? I saw 6.5/52.5 earlier this week.
I like the under. Two strong, stingy defenses IMO. First team to 17 wins.
Curious to hear what you think.......
GL
The total is down to 50' after sitting at 52' yesterday so your sense appears correct. My total was close enough to the number to pass on the game but I would lean to the under.
Results: 9-9-1, -4.35 units (tough push with App St. and the end of the Minn St. game was bad)
YTD: 166-139, +11.07 units
