FOOTBALL: How Is Ferris Involved In The Grand Valley-Saginaw Valley Game?

I had someone point out this list to me as posted by Grand Rapids Press sports writer Greg Johnson on his appropriately-named blog: Out of Bounds.

Check out No. 7 on Johnson's list as he gets a shot at Ferris State University in it.

Looking for a reason to attend the Grand Valley State football team's home opener Saturday? You've come to the right place.

Here are 10 reasons to attend what's sure to be a slugfest between the Lakers and Saginaw Valley State:

1. Well, duh, championship chances.

2. Everybody else will be there.

3. GVSU coach Chuck Martin has a new sweater vest.

4. Blake Smolen's hair is really long.

5. Some SVSU guys are from around here.

6. It's cheaper than U-M vs. ND.

7. Ferris State isn't invited.

8. Louie the Laker loves company.

9. It's the "Battle of the Valleys", silly.

10. What else is there to do in Allendale?
