I have not done this for years (about 10 years, to be honest). Most of you were not even on this board when I did this last. In the past I would post a "Get Ready for the Culture Shock" of Chip fans stepping foot in Kalamazoo whenever CMU would come to town. So in reviving the tradition, here we go.......

At one time Kalamazoo was a Rust Belt, industrial city that regularly saw its fair share of hicks. However, recent decades has seen the city grow into a progressive, white collar Mecca that only now experiences the plague of red necks roaming its fine streets on the biennial event that is known as the hosting of the WMU vs CMU Football Game!

In order to prepare the fine citizens of Kalamazoo along with the highly intelligent, yet sheltered young minds of Western's student body, I shall post some pictures of what horrors we may all see in Kalamazoo this Saturday when CMU's students come to town........hopefully others will assist me in this community service and post their pics too!

Kids, when your are tailgating, be sure to steer clear of this #1 Chip fan's van. He will try to entice with free food while telling you that the rivalry is all fun and games, but don't believe him!

Great service! Someone needs to educate the visitors!

For you young studs. DO NOT get drunk and sleep with one of their cheerleaders!
You will regret it in the morning.

Do not panic if you see a few of these on Stadium Dr come Saturday. Provided they do not break down, they will all be gone by Sunday.

If they bring their band, then you should brace yourself for the sight of their bus.....

If you are unfortunate enough to have to sit next to some of them, then power through it, plug your nose and avoid making eye contact.

Chips working through their mid-life crises.

These are old photos of two guys that are long dead. However, you will see quit a few of their doppelgangers walking around come Saturday.
Fun fact, the rumor is that these two are actually the founders of CMU.

Just in case there are some Chips lurking here and are wondering what they are going to see when they get to Kalamazoo. There is no guarantee, but most likely you will see this:

Be on the lookout for CMU alumni girls on the prowl.

People along the route to Kalamazoo need to watch out, CMU types will stop and cow tip

Chips will be wandering around aimlessly looking for a store where they are comfortable.

Willy!! Great thread. This week, I miss Dip's presence on this board more than ever.

Interesting take given the facts about the situation. I guess you’ve gotta do something to make yourselves feel better, right? In all honesty CMU students should probably prepare themselves for the culture shock of going from a quintessential college town to the cesspool of kalamacrapistan and its attendant horrors. Such as:

- The embarrassingly high crime rate.

Top 10 most dangerous city in Michigan

https://wkfr.com/kalamazoo-names-one-of-...-michigan/

But wait, there’s more!

Top 50 most dangerous city in the US

https://k1025.com/the-100-most-dangerous...n-the-u-s/

- The embarrassingly low high school graduation rate of the locals.

Graduation rates at an eleven year high...and still well below the state average.

https://wwmt.com/news/local/kalamazoo-pu...-year-high

- It’s just not that great a place to be. In fact, it one of the Top 50 worst places to live.

Over 30% of the population lives in poverty and some of the worst air quality in the country.

https://247wallst.com/special-report/201...ve-in-3/4/

- The drugs. “Kalamazoo the epicenter of meth in Michigan.”

https://wwmt.com/news/local/detectives-c...ing-uptick


I could go on, but you get the idea. I’ll never understand where you morons get these delusions of grandeur when it comes to kalamacrapistan...it’s a $hithole...no matter how much you don’t like that fact, it is.
