You can skydive with Eastern Michigan’s Ron English

If EMU hits its fundraising goal, head coach Ron English will jump out of a plane, and maybe you can be there with him.

EMU

Have you always had the urge to skydive with a MAC football coach? Well for those of you so inclined and with a little wiggle room in your checkbooks, you can jump out of a plane with Eastern Michigan’s Ron English, head football coach and noted rapacious bird.

English will take to the skies of the Michigan countryside if EMU’s fundraising drive hits its goal of $60,000. The money will be used to renovate the team facilities and “go through the bathrooms in there and retile, put new fixtures in and all those types of things.”

I can tell, you’re excited.
