Eastern Michigan is the fifth team from that conference to tour Montlake.
In college football parlance, this means what's formally known as the Mid-American Conference -- which is a cross between the Mountain West or the Big Sky back east -- is sending another football team to Seattle for a game against the University of Washington and what could be a mismatch.
In 1986, Bowling Green from Ohio came to Husky Stadium with Silvi as its kicker, as a second-team All-MAC selection after making 10 of 12 fields and all 40 of his extra points the season before. In a forgettable 48-0 loss to the UW, Silvi was a 5-foot-9, 158-pound senior from Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, a Detroit suburb, who had a field goal blocked and supplied a lone kickoff. Yet this was a memorable trip for him.
"I always wanted to see Seattle," Silvi said. "Being able to come out here and visit the city for a long weekend, it was very cool and sold me on Seattle. That's how i ended up coming back out there." "I know every single player in that program," Pinkel said before the game. "I helped assemble that team and now it appears I may be shooting myself with the gun I helped load."
Creighton shared in those same accolades in a star-studded league with Ingraham running back Greg Lewis and linebacker James Clifford, and Franklin wide receiver Mario Bailey and tight end Aaron Pierce, all eventual Husky football standouts. Eventual UW kicker John McCallum was a Creighton teammate at Roosevelt.
