I can't wait to see how many votes we get when we sweep omaha this weekend.

Hope you are right U

He's not wrong very often, check his Miami football prediction.
RE: 2015-2016 Week 5 Rankings - WMU unranked - Ubish - 10-28-2015 03:25 PM
Eh, I'm wrong quite a bit but have a good feeling about this weekend. We'll be hungry to prove we are the team that trounced Bg, and not the team from last weekend and UNO might have a bit of a let down playing what they believe will be an inferior opponent after such a special weekend where they opened their new arena for the first time.
RE: 2015-2016 Week 5 Rankings - WMU unranked - rtletterman - 10-28-2015 03:56 PM
UNO has a great coach, but this crew with all these freshman will be a different team than what we "saw" last weekend. Road games will be up and down all year.

Just hope the community comes out in full force and gets up for a big game against #1. Still ticks me off that we don't always pack lawson if it's not Sparty, scum or Notre lame.
Almost half of the conference is ranked in the top 10, almost top 5 in the country! If that doesn't get people pumped to see that type of talent on the ice then idk what does.....

Even when I was a student lunatic during the culhane days (2006-2010) and besides being a loyal hockey fan that I am, I loved going to games just to see the talent on the ice, although not many wins for wmu during that stretch, always loved going to games and being a lunatic and hassling the other team, refs, and other teams parents / fans Lol!
I think even a split with #1 UNO would raise some eyebrows this weekend
RE: 2015-2016 Week 5 Rankings - WMU unranked - Ubish - 10-28-2015 09:01 PM
yeah, I think a split would be great, I just have a feeling. If i'm wrong, it'll be the last prediction I make this year... lol
Quite a few tickets left for both games according to the online seat picker.

Several guys are sick,hurt and beat up this week,not sure they will be healthy this weekend.There will probably be some line changes because of it.

I hope this is not the start of an excuse thread Nut if they lose this weekend. Lots of teams get banged up and are not healthy. Coaches job is to get ALL the guys ready to play. I'm hoping for a BIG surprise weekend for the Broncos!

Looking at the schedule, it's nuts that currently 3 unranked teams are on it. CC, Ferris, and RPI.

I still think the University needs to do a better job promoting this new league. No reason why WMU shouldn't sell out all thier remaining home games. What a great fan experience to see all this talent/competion night in and night out.
Students always do a great job showing thier support, it's the other 3/4 of the rink where the promotion needs to be focused.

PairWise has us at #10 already.

AAAAND unranked.
RE: 2015-2016 Week 5 Rankings - WMU unranked - Ubish - 11-02-2015 02:35 PM
Oh come on. What's a team gotta do? Uno at 8 still and we aren't even in the top 20? At least we'll stay hungry.
RE: 2015-2016 Week 5 Rankings - WMU unranked - Bronco1974 - 11-03-2015 07:16 AM
Tied for 8th in the Pairwise (the only poll that counts).
