I agree that 1-11 is much worse than 4-8. It's a different level of competitiveness and a different level of progression.

Not necessarily - and not in my mind. I think we have a good shot at six wins this year, if we win in Muncie on Saturday.
I think it would be more likely that we "tread water" in 2015 as opposed to regressing. That schedule is tough, but I wouldn't go into those five tough games saying, "Oh yeah, we're going to automatically lose all of those." That game at Georgia Southern will be a big one early in the year, and I think it's fair to say if the program is showing improvement, we should have a chance to pull out an upset win either at Toledo or at NIU.
Hopefully, we won't get beat up too badly - physically and/or mentally - in those games with MSU or OSU before MAC play begins. That is probably my single biggest concern with the 2015 schedule.
I do think you probably won't see the possibility of nine wins until 2016 at the earliest, though...

On September 27, I took my grandchildren to the Radisson for a superhero breakfast . We were in the elevator going up to Burdicks . The doors opened and several WMU football players pushed their way in to the elevator knocking me and my grand children to the back wall. I had to ask several times to let us out of the elevator and I was ignored. The alarm sounded and the doors wouldn't close because there was too much weight in the elevator. It seemed to me that they were intentionally trying to break it. They all bailed out and we were able to leave. I was mad and appalled of their behavior in public.
The pictures associated with this story are not shocking and it does make it look petty. Until you read how a microwave was used to damage property. THAT is willful destruction of property. They need to issue a public apology.

I am disappointed with this, we need to start recruiting players with high character and players with better judgement. This is not good.

They don't have to kick it there. But at least spike and call a real play. . Running a rushed play in that situation was a poor decision.
Also a kick would have been for the win not a tie. They lost by one
