MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. – Central Michigan will honor part of its rich football history on Saturday when members of the 2006 Mid-American Conference championship team will be introduced during the Chippewas’ homecoming game against Ball State at Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
The 2006 team finished 10-4 overall, beating Ohio in the MAC Championship game and Middle Tennessee State in the Motor City Bowl. It marked the first time a CMU team had won the league title game and a Division I-A bowl game.
It was Brian Kelly’s third and, as it turned out, final year, as the Chippewas’ head coach.
