You learn something everyday. Apparently, this place called Ferris State is in Michigan.

Impressive work by their SID office putting together that lengthy and informative bio.

Agree. So often there is a paragraph about each assistant then a write-up as long as "War and Peace" about the head coach. I also wonder if a reporter's auto-correct has ever changed a mention of the Ferris Bulldogs in a sports story to the Ferris Buellers?

The Buellers were D2 Mens Basketball Champs in 2018.
They lost in the Frozen Four Finals to BC in 2012. Apparently there were (this is in Wikipedia) a bunch of "Save Ferris" signs displayed during that event.
I mention them because they demonstrate the lack of recognition either accomplishment gets these days.

Right you are. I recognized the name Ferris State from mentions about ice hockey but could not have told you what state they were from. I can't remember a story about D-2 BB NCAAs since Assumption was going to Evanston, Illinois in the sixties and seventies.

And the AIC Yellowjackets got a Police escort through downtown Springfield just for going to Buffalo for the AHA finals. Runs like theirs and Nichols in D-3 BB keeps college sports fun.

Nice picture of The Rock in his Holy Cross regalia! The old ball coach Spurrier would be impressed with that visor. |
