Victory Cannon Trophy returns to Kalamazoo following 49-10 rout

John Bonamego would rather go through eight weeks of chemotherapy again than lose to Western Michigan the way Central Michigan did Saturday night.

Following CMU's 49-10 blowout loss, the second-year head coach said he has a bad taste in his mouth and went on to apologize to CMU fans for the way his team played.

"Don't give up on our football team," he said.

In one of the most anticipated matchups between the rival schools in years, the Chippewas failed to live up to the hype in front of the 30,411 fans who packed Kelly/Shorts Stadium.
