John Bonamego was not about to allow this week to become anything other than a business trip.
That is not to say the second-year Central Michigan football coach is anti-fun, not in the slightest.
Bonamego is more than happy to allow his football team to take part in the entertainment and festivities that the Miami Beach Bowl have brought with it, such as Saturday’s Beach Bash that included a barbecue for both the Chippewas and Monday’s opponent in Tulsa.
There are also gentler and more giving moments like Sunday morning’s event where CMU players and cheerleaders visited Baptist Children’s Hospital in Coral Gables.
