A week that will live in infamy.

WHO'S WITH ME?!?!?!?!

(NSFW)






Spoiler: The horn-blower is JPWMU.

LOL - that's funny. It'd be great to replace audio over some of the things said like "Winterfell" with "Western Michigan", and when pointing out the names of some of the guys, replacing the audio that with names of our players. But I think it'd be more of an MSU making, not a WMU one.

I am getting way too excited for Friday. I wish some of the folks that used to post here would show up. Amazing time to be a Bronco. The lunacy around here lately has me dumbfounded as we look ahead to a HUGE day for WMU and Kalamazoo.

I still check in here every day. I just don't post a lot. Then again, I've never posted a lot!

Other than when I was a student, this is the most excited I have ever been for a season to start. I wish I could be at Waldo for the game - it is going to be absolutely rocking!

I am worried for the couches in East Lansing that will be burned on Friday night!

Forecast update as of Monday morning Friday PM thunderstorms 40% per Weather Channel. Pack your plastic hoodie and a portable grounding rod.

My weather app says sunny all day on Friday, with only 7% chance of rain. I use AccuWeather. Hope mine is right. Although if it helps equalize the odds of us winning, I will stand in a downpour the whole game.

I am so fired up about the game I can't stand it. Heading to kzoo Friday morning.

I've had several MSU friends/family ask me just how good our WR corps is, because they have a young secondary.

They will find out very quickly


I'm looking for Terrell to throw a few bombs early in the game.

I can't recall the last time I've been this excited about a WMU game.

Can't wait to see the environment on Friday.

Hope we play well.

Last time I was this excited for a home opener was against Indiana.

We have two WR's nominated for nations very best wide-outs ...Mr. Braverman cruises at the sub 4.4 range... around 4.35 40....
And Mr. Davis will burn who ever tries to cover him Friday night...
Go Bronco's

It's just a matter of giving Terrel time in the pocket and Jarvion to step up and keep the defense honest.

Oh, and having out defense play out of their minds (like the last time they played MSU!).

You better stop by

I know it's cliche/obvious, but gotta avoid giving up that "big play" early on. A lot easier said than done, of course.

A few years ago we were up 7-0 at scUM and driving to score again. Threw a pick 6, and we never recovered.

Actually it was a fumble recovery, returned for TD.

Avoid turnovers and don't give them good field position when we give the ball back.

If they're starting at their 20 it extends the game. If they're starting at their 40 it will be a long day. Terrel and Franklin have to limit turnovers, and Schroader has to boom his punts or pooch them to limit returns.

I honestly think MSU is overrated at #5, and Dantonio will play a vanilla offense do to inexperience at some skill positions. They lost some key skill positions, and it will probably take a portion of the season to fill those shoes. Don't get me wrong, they're still very good and Certainly a top 20 team. Just not sure they're top 5.

1st- 10-3
Half- 20-6
3rd- 23-13
Final- 37-13
