History of the Eagles

The Eastern Michigan Eagles have a long and storied history in NCAA sports. The team was established in 1891, making them one of the oldest collegiate teams still playing today. The Eagles have earned multiple conference titles and bowl game appearances as an NCAA institution.

In football, the Eagles are no strangers to success; they’ve won two MAC championships since joining the league in 1971: one in 1987 and another more recently in 2016 when they went 9-4 overall with an impressive 7-1 record within their division. They also made it to Motor City Bowl that year, where they lost narrowly by four points against Old Dominion University (ODU). Since then, EMU has been a consistent contender for the MAC West Division title and bowl games every season - something that any true fan should be proud of!

On top of this impressive track record on gridiron fields across America, EMU is also known for its successful basketball program, which includes five Mid-American Conference (MAC) tournament titles over a span from 1996 until 2012, when they last won it under head coach Charles Ramsey who led his team all way through National Invitational Tournament (NIT) quarterfinal round before bowing out at the hands of eventual champion Stanford Cardinal squad coached by Johnny Dawkins at a time! This speaks volumes about the quality coaching staff employed throughout the years while highlighting the importance given to the basketball programs within the university itself – something many schools lack nowadays, sadly enough...

Aside from these two major sports programs offered up by Eastern Michigan University, there are plenty of other varsity athletic teams, including baseball, softball, soccer, golf, tennis, cross country/track & field, volleyball, rowing, rugby plus a few others depending on what the school offers, each year, so if you're looking get involved athletics wise or want to learn little bit more about the rich history surrounding Eagle Nation then make sure check out official website online find out even information related upcoming events etcetera too!
