CMU Game Day Traditions

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,–– On Thursday, August 31st, Central Michigan University will be kicking off the football season against the Rhode Island Rams! This season is sure to be full of surprises as the Chippewas make use of their new quarterbacks and improved roster. The Central-Western game, Homecoming, and other adrenaline-pumping games will be sure to satisfy Chippewa fans across the country. Take a look at CMU game day traditions and what diehard fans of the famous maroon and gold enjoy throughout the football season!

Battle for the Cannon

Every year, Central Michigan and Western Michigan battle for their annual rivalry game. The winner takes home "The Cannon", a trophy which pays tribute to the two cannons sitting atop Kelly/Shorts Stadium and Waldo Stadium. Last year, Western took home the Cannon, but this year, CMU has made it their goal to reclaim the one-of-a-kind trophy once again. The Central-Western game will take place on the Chips' home turf this year, giving them a chance to beat the Broncos at Kelly/Shorts Stadium once again!

Homecoming Parade

Starting from the football field and ending in downtown Mt. Pleasant, the annual homecoming parade involves the band, color guard, local businesses, student organizations, and more as they make their way downtown! This annual tradition brings out the best in everyone's game day spirits, as candy, maroon and gold themed items are handed out to audience participants. You can even follow the parade through their journey for an unforgettable experience!

Cardboard Boat Race

Every year, the Industrial Engineering students construct cardboard boats and sail them across the Rose Pond on Homecoming for a heated competition to become the reigning champs of the Cardboard Boat Race. The race occurs on the morning of Homecoming and always attracts quite the large crowd. You'll be able to watch students fight, paddle, and push their way across Rose Pond as they try to make it without sinking. You won't want to miss this fun-filled event! 

Kelly/Shorts In-Game Traditions

Kelly/Shorts Stadium is full of in-game traditions, too! With plenty of singalong songs, t-shirt giveaways, and the loud and proud maroon and gold as far as the eye can see, CMU's stadium is full of fun for everyone! These are a few of CMU's best in-game traditions at Kelly/Shorts Stadium:

• Key Play: During important plays in the game, students and fans will take their keys out and shake them for the entire play to build hype with the audience and team.
• Cymbal Crash: Many students participate in this tradition, joining along with the band as they crash their cymbals back and forth! The "cymbal crash" is done with an up and down clapping motion to mimic the cymbal crashes.
• Cannon Shot: Whenever CMU scores in the game, the ROTC students fire a cannon to signify that the Chips are winning the game!
• Tree Ceremony: Overlooking the stadium itself on Rose Hill, the Bradford Pear tree atop the hill has been the post-game ceremony spot for the marching band during each game day, whether it's a triumphant victory or somber defeat.
• CMU Fight Song: Everyone, whether diehard fans or first time lovers of the game can enjoy CMU's one-of-a-kind fight song! Learn the song before your next game today:

FIGHT Central, down the field,
FIGHT for Victory, FIGHT, Fellows never yield;
We're with you, oh Varsity.
Onward with banners bold, to our colors we'll be true,
FIGHT for Maroon and Gold, Down the field for C.M.U.!

VARSITY! Rah! Rah! VICTORY! Rah! Rah!
CHIPPEWA we're proud of that nickname.
Hear our song loud and strong,
CENTRAL is going to win this game!
Come on and...(Repeat thru "C.M.U.!")


This year, the Central Michigan Chippewas will only be hosting five home games for the season, spending the rest of their time at away games across the country.

Easy and Affordable College Life Hacks

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,–– Whether you're an incoming freshman or a soon-to-be-graduate, nothing helps make cleaning, organizing, and living easier than a good handful of life hacks! With a few quick and simple tricks using items you likely already own, running around campus will feel much more stress free. Keep your room clean and your roommates happy with our list of easy and affordable college life hacks, that'll make you say "why didn't I think of that?"

Free Up Microwave Space

Need to microwave dinner before you hit the books, but need more room in your microwave? Flip a coffee cup over and stack your other plate or bowl on top of it. You'll free up some space and save a little time, whether you're making extra food to fuel your all-nighter or you're just sharing with your roommates!

Refresh Your Room

If your new dorm room still smells like its old residents, refresh the smell of your room with a fresh linen smell! Put a few dryer sheets on the back of your room's fan and the smell will circulate through your room in no time. Since most universities don't allow candles in dorm rooms, you can use dryer sheets as a fresh substitute.

Reorganize Your Closet

If you're headed into a typical dorm with little closet space, you can solve that problem with pop can pull tabs! Using these in conjunction with your hangers, you can almost double the size of your closet space. If you're a planner, you can even organize your closet based on clothing that pairs well together to make getting ready in the morning so much easier. 

Simplify Cooking

Did you know that you can use your coffee maker for more than just your morning brew? Cooking With Your Coffee Maker is a blog dedicated to creating popular recipes with a coffee maker to save users money and cook time. Learn a few new recipes you can make in your coffee machine this school year!

Reward Yourself for Studying

Make studying way more fun by rewarding yourself for finishing your hard work! Buy a bag of your favorite candy and assign a piece for the end of each task, like the reading example above. This studying method actually helps you remember things at a much better rate, according to this psychological study!

Save Money With Chegg

College textbook prices have gone up 82% in price since 2003! Now it seems college students can barely afford course-required books and can't seem to sell them back. Chegg is a college textbook site that allows college students to rent their textbooks at up to 10% of their listed price. Plus, orders over $50 get free shipping!

Free Up Dresser Space

If you fold your clothes and place them in your dresser vertically, you'll have more room in your dresser for your entire wardrobe. This handy tip can be extremely helpful when you live with multiple roommates and are forced to share dresser space. You'll be able to see what clothing you could wear that day without having to dig through your dresser again!

College is one of the most enjoyable experiences in life, especially at Central Michigan University! You can have fun, enjoy freedom, and take one step closer to adulthood, all while exposing yourself to interesting new opportunities and growing your mind. This freedom also means you have more responsibilities to worry about, but our easy and affordable college life hacks should ease your transition into adulthood.

Picking the Right Vehicle For Your Needs

MT. PLEASANT, Mich.,–– Purchasing a new or used vehicle can be a very daunting task. With so many makes, models, trim levels, and styles to choose form, it can become very overwhelming very quickly. However, we at Graff Mt Pleasant believe purchasing a new or used vehicle should be a fun experience, from start to finish! To take some of the stress of vehicle shopping off your shoulders and maximize the fun, we can help you pick the right vehicle for your needs. From start to finish, we can set you up with the perfect vehicle to fit your lifestyle.

1. List Your Must Haves

The first and most important step is narrowing down what type of vehicle you'll be shopping for. An easy way to do this is to list your must haves! Do you need 5 seats or more? Do you need a vehicle that can tow? Do you need lots of cargo space or just a small amount? Do you want something fuel efficient, or does the cost of gas not matter as much? These are just a few factors to consider while evaluating your needs, and can help you determine the type of vehicle that'll meet your needs. After you've written out your list of needs, start researching what vehicles appeal to these needs and consider their long-term cost. Create a spreadsheet of vehicles that fit your specifications and research them in more detail to find out if one specific vehicle is best for your needs.

2. New or Used?

The next step, which goes hand in hand with the first step, is figuring out whether you want a new or used vehicle. Each have their own individual benefits, but making this decision is completely up to you and your personal finances! Do you want a brand new vehicle with no service history and warranty coverage, or are you looking for a more affordable used vehicle? Take a look at our new and used vehicle models, and if you're interested in taking out an auto loan, view our financing options for more info!

3. Buying or Leasing?

If you decide to go with a brand new car, it's then time to decide whether you would like to buy or lease. Leasing allows you to "rent" a brand new vehicle for a few years at an affordable rate and can often come with free oil changes, tire rotations, etc., but offers a limited amount of mileage. Buying a vehicle gives you complete autonomy over your vehicle, but it also means you're responsible for any maintenance and non-warranty covered repairs. Check our buying vs leasing page for more information on the pros and cons of each option.

4. Research, Research, Research!

One of the most fun parts of vehicle shopping is looking at all the models you could one day drive! Now that you know your needs and whether you're buying or leasing a new or used vehicle, you can finally start narrowing down your options to find the perfect vehicle for your lifestyle. This is where research gets intense. You'll want to make sure the model you're interested in comes with all the features you need. You can utilize the information on our websites, including the brochures and model overview pages to better determine which model, trim level, and packages suits you best. You can also use our vehicle inventory page to look at the models available on our lot. 

5. Take it For a Test Drive

Now that you've found a few vehicles that you might be interested in, it's time to get behind the wheel and take it for a spin! While you're on the road giving your potential vehicle a test, remember your needs and try to drive the vehicle in a similar environment. If you drive to work on the highway regularly, see how it handles fast speeds on the highways. Do you live on a dirt road at home? Take it on the rough terrain to check its readiness! Check the comfortability of seats, storage space, important components, and more to make sure you've found the right vehicle.

Before you know it, you'll be united with the vehicle of your dreams! From start to finish, make picking the right vehicle for your needs a fun and easy task and eliminate the stress of vehicle purchasing by shopping at Graff Mt. Pleasant. If you're interested in taking a vehicle on our lot out for a test drive, call us to set up an appointment and we'll gladly give you the opportunity to take any Chevy, Buick, GMC, Cadillac, or other model you'd like out for a spin. View our new and used vehicle inventory to get started on your vehicle research.

Equipped with several luxurious features, the 2018 Enclave has a lot to offer its drivers. With up to 9 different colors, 4 wheel styles, and 4 types of trim, the possibilities for customization are practically limitless. The convenient Smart Slide feature allows passengers to navigate through the back of the Enclave easily, giving them plenty of room to relax and feel comfortable in its first-class seating.

If you flip down the middle and back seats, you can create up to 115 cubic feet of storage, and if that isn't enough, the Enclave also has a 4,500-lb towing capacity. All-wheel driving makes even the most challenging of winter drives easy, and its advanced safety technology protects everyone in and outside of the vehicle as well.

Prefer conversation over music? The 2018 Enclave was fine tuned using QuietTuning, a technology that reduces and absorbs sound in the cabin which allows for easier conversation throughout the vehicle. But if you would much rather listen to music, the Bose 10-speaker system was fine-tuned to the Enclave's interior, so you can enjoy your favorite tunes with premium sound! You can even enjoy music through the hands-free Buick IntelliLink system, which responds to your voice while you keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.
