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

I first came across Dip online in the early 2000's, when he and Bronco Philly were making cyber life absolutely miserable for the Chips. What a trip that was! When the Bronco online community became active on other websites, I joined up. Dip and I had our cyber battles, for sure. I hated his politics and he hated mine. I couldn't stand the way he belittled other posters, and that he couldn't resist "poking the rattlesnake". I recall once when I really got into his head and he called me a "bitter, crippled old woman." Ha! But it never occurred to me that "Dip" was anything other than an online persona, as was "Whinny." Behind the scenes via PM's, we became pretty good friends. Dan was not at all like Dip.

He loved his Broncos, and he adored his family. His elementary school students loved him. He fought so valiantly in his battle with cancer, long past the time when others would have given up. I'm grateful that he no longer has to fight. That frees him up for making mischief in Heaven. And he'll have the best seat in the house for Bronco football games!
