Head Coach John Bonamego walks the sidelines in his first game as head coach of the Central Michigan University football team. The Chippewas would lose to Oklahoma State 24-13.

Head football coach John Bonamego doesn't appreciate seeing students wearing another team's colors on the campus of Central Michigan University.

The Chippewas' first-year coach and CMU alum said after practice Wednesday he expects to see a larger CMU presence on Saturday in East Lansing when his team takes on No. 2 Michigan State.

"If you're not wearing your maroon and gold, you're really not with us," Bonamego said. "That goes for everyone on campus, too. It kind of irks me. I haven't seen it that much but I've heard about it. We are Central Michigan. If I was working at Michigan State or Michigan I would feel the same way. I just feel like you should be loyal to your school."

While he understands there are many die-hard CMU fans planning on attending this weekend, he hopes each student that makes the trip will be wearing maroon and gold and not green and white.

"It's a very, very small minority," he said. "I just don't like seeing it."

The Chippewas and Spartans face off at noon on Saturday in East Lansing.
