Eagles Go Back in Time
2005 EMU Basketball Alumni Tailgate
First-year Head Coach Charles E. Ramsey initiated the first
annual Eastern Michigan Basketball Alumni Tailgate prior to
the Eagles football home opener, Sept. 10, versus Louisiana-Lafayette.
Several former EMU basketball players joined
current coaches, players and families for barbeque, fun and
football.
Three members of the 1991 squad that reached the Sweet
Sixteen, Carl Thomas, Charles Thomas and Lorenzo Neely,
attended the reunion as did former EMU and Detroit Piston
Head Coach Ray Scott. Scott is shown below with current
EMU Head Coach Charles E. Ramsey and former Eastern
Michigan Head Coach Al Freund.
One of the day’s highlights included an open gym session
that afforded current Eagles the opportunity to play against
current and former NBA players such as EMU alums Earl
Boykins (Denver Nuggets) and Charles Thomas. James Head,
a member of the 1998 MAC championship team, also laced
up the shoes to play against the current Eagles.
