Thanks David!!!! This is awesome:

KALAMAZOO, MI – I checked the weather forecast for Saturday afternoon and it could be an exciting day based on what I saw.

There will be a high temperature of 32 degrees, it will be partly cloudy and there's a 100 percent chance of Jarvion Franklin.

I think a lot of people expect a smaller crowd because of cold weather in the 30s. But I think the crowd will be larger than expected, probably in the 20, 000 range. I think fans are more likely to attend a game when its 35 degrees and sunny, or snow flurries, than when it is 50 degrees and pouring rain like it was for toledo game. People are thinking the cold temperatures will turn people away but 35 isnt intolerable. If it was 35 in january 35 would be downright balmy!

80% chance of an aerial raid.

90% chance of MACtion.

100% chance of Jarvion Franklin.


I like those odds! Todd, please confirm percentages.

We stopped at Dunhams yesterday and my wife picked up some black snow bibs for $31.00.

I'm going to put her in a white coat for the penguin look.

Amazingly we had a young second cousin from GR call and ask to go to the EMU game. Gonna put him on whichever side the wind is coming from. We should be good.

I love it! I wish Drew showed his personality more in his writing like this. That's good stuff.

Also like that he's calling for a Braverman punt return TD.

You think Creighton uses this as bulletin board material?

I am with you here. I will take sitting tin the stands with it 32 F, calm and partly sunny - or cloudy for that matter - any day, over 50, windy and raining.

I can easily stay warm sitting in the snow with freezing temps, but not in a cold rain.

My son and I will be at this game on Saturday!!!!

Ill be at the game, but lucky for me ill be in a suite.

Man I wish someone with a positive reputation would've said this!

I'll be there but good lord do i hope i can justify leaving early. A solid 30 point lead should do it.

Drew should have noted that Fleck *is* motivating the team -- calling it THEIR National Championship Game.

If that's not motivating a team for the EMoos, I don't what will!

Which is one of the reasons I'm actually just not going to go. Not only will it be cold. But we should roll these fools by 40.

I finally convinced my buddy who goes to EMU to go to Kalamazoo for a game, so i gotta suck this one up. At least i have hockey tickets too!

I'd take it, but I'd also settle for a couple of good 20-30 yard punt returns. If I remember MHB's MAC stats correctly from a couple weeks back, we were last in the MAC in punt returns yards and I don't think we've moved up much (if at all) since.
