Hey UM fans at the Joe... "Why so quiet!?"

What a great game and environment. Wow. A good Bronco game in Downtown Detroit beating up on UM in front of legions of walmarters. Priceless.

I wasn't around for the good years of football in the lats 90s but I must say... tonight was, by far, the best Bronco crowd I've ever seen.

Ok, the basketball crowd vs C of C back in 2004 for the bracket buster was pretty awesome too but tonight, at the Joe, when UM is only 30 minutes away, and we just annihilated them from a volume and support perspective... friggin priceless. Never been a prouder Bronco than tonight.

Quote:There were ominous signs right from the get-go. The usually boisterous Michigan crowd could barely be heard over the vocal Western Michigan student section, which mocked the Wolverines' fans with chants of 'We can't hear you' and 'Why so quiet?'

Loved that one.

Also loved the double dose of the "S-H-E-E-N" what does that spell? "WINNING, WINNING, WINNING" making an appearance again tonight.



FYI - I'm uploading video I shot tonight from section 110 to YouTube as I type this. Unfortunately I don't have great upload bandwidth here tonight so it's going to take a few hours. I'll embed it into a post in the morning. Suffice it to say, you'll see how great the crowd was...

Hey Michigan, Thanks for the win, and thanks for the highlights. :-)
Let me make that more accurate...Hey Western Michigan, thanks for the win.
Good luck tonight

This crap is priceless. Of all the fans of all the schools in the world..scUM fans should be the last to complain about officiating. It is sad that I spend so much time reading this stuff but it is so satisfying to hear how mad they really are. lol

Reading that thread makes me even happier to have beaten that piece of sh!t school.

I may go down there this afternoon early to root against them one last time this season.

Quote:All the horrid officiating, all the worse play by Michigan, all the holding by Western and still, Michigan probably could have eked out a win, if Hunwick hadn't let in those two squeakers and Kuhn missed one of a couple of really nice saves. Really makes you appreciate Michigan.

at his



Yeah, appreciate them all you want, you clowns have been on the better end of getting calls for twenty years! All the holding.....:rolleyes:

Score a goal on a powerplay after your goalie is throwing punches, *then* complain about how the officials are "screwing" you.


Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.

Just as well, if they had tossed your sieve then, he wouldn't have gakked up the next two goals like the walk-on that he is.

Easily among my Top 5 favorite Bronco sporting events I saw in person.

I feel like i enjoyed this game even more than winning the CCHA in 2012. Was in the band for both, but the emotion from beating UM and making ourselves known was INCREDIBLE.

My favorite all time memory is making that little dwarf Hunwick cry and whine every time we scored! I wish we could have put up more on them.

I actually watched the highlights a few days ago.

What a memory

I remember being at the McD's in the rencen the next morning and seeing Carl Hagelin mope all over the place. It was fantastic.

It was one of the best WMU sports moments that I've witnessed in person. The emotion of the crowd when we went up big on the heavily favored UM team, it was like 20 years of dominance by michigan was erased in one evening.

I have the championship game the following year as my favorite Bronco sports moment. Nothing can beat beating a P5, especially Walmart U, for a championship.

The semi-final in 2011 was arguably more fun, tho.

One of my favorite memories.

Attended the games in 2011 and 2012 with my family. Fantastic. Was great sitting next to UM fans too. Was a great time to be a Bronco.
