The unofficial online home for fans of the Western Michigan University Broncos. Part of Collegiate Sports Nation (CSN).

wmubroncos.com is a joke compared to other teams in the MAC. There is apparently a digital game program, but it isn't available on the website. It is just completely bare bones. I was looking at CMU's trying to see a depth chart and its just depressing how much better the presentation and content is.

It all points to him:
Tony Proudfoot Vice President for Marketing and Strategic Communications Office: (269) 387-8400 Fax: (269) 387-8422 Send an email Location: 315E Walwood Hall, Mail Stop 5433 Mailing address: Office of Marketing and Strategic Communications Western Michigan University 1903 W Michigan Ave Kalamazoo MI 49008-5433 USA

PROUDFOOT!

A solid name for a solid employee.

It's a shame we have a few hundred marketing & a few thousand Business students but don't get them involved. English departments students. Physical Education students. Wasted potential. I'm guessing it's due to accreditation standards & students unwilling to volunteer their time. We s/ do it for them & submit it, we have the passion. If this bothers you so much, Liam, you do it & submit it. :) The truth is most football programs were built on simply passion & interest, as a hobby, for fun, extra, not some paid old man in a suit

Our site looks very similar to CMU’s and most mac programs. The lack of a two deep isn’t a website issue. We’ve been complaining about a lack of a two deep all fall camp. I also think that the athletics website does not fall under Tony. It was the first site not to use Tony’s rebranded vision ( or less of it).

I'm not sure what you consider most football programs. But this is definitely someone's job. Whatever they wear and however old they are , they're doing a poor job. Our program is backsliding into irrelevance and you want to have it run by volunteers?

In the past game programs and media guides were produced by sports information department.

It is a Sidearm product which has 100s of teams under contract. Syracuse just refreshed their Sidearm website.

It's not the look and feel it's the lack of content. Game notes, hype videos, the non existent digital programs, etc.. Things that we actually had in the recent past. EMU had a countdown clock, game notes, link to a podcast, rosters, guide, preview article, basically everything you'd need to get ready for the game. It's bizarre that we've regressed in this area to such an extent relative to a program we dominated for decades.
