Ball State Hires Shula for Football Staff

You know, they said that Stan Parrish was sort of hard-headed. Most folks thought he was obsolete and a little past his prime.

Tonight’s game against Northeastern is excitable because football is back in Muncie, the Cardinal offense gets a chance to build [...]
