CMU coach John Bonamego sleeps with Victory Cannon after beating WMU

MOUNT PLEASANT, MI - The Victory Cannon is heading back to Central Michigan's Indoor Athletic Complex.

But not before a stop at the home of head coach John Bonamego. In a photo posted to Twitter by Bonamego's wife Paulette, the third-year coach can be seen tucked in and sleeping in bed with The Victory Cannon. Several comical hashtags accompanied the post.
