It's just a few people who think they're all that, seething and yelling at others who look at both sides of the coin and bring about REAL concerns and don't see WMU in some glorious fashion (yet? at the time), BUT will not take criticism themselves for being W-R-O-N-G for going off on other fans for it.
DesertBronco, I guess you "called it", right? Think twice before you parade things around and fling YOUR negative attitude toward other fans and make a you-know-what out of yourself in the end.
Todd quick, get your fantasy picks in before the deadline!!!

While I like Cubit, and I think we'll take a step backward if we have a coaching change it may be warranted. I believe you are judged on your body of work, but the only way he can overcome this loss is to win out, and I don't see that happening.
At this point I could see us losing to everyone but Akron.
Win out he's 8-4. But if we go 7-5, which is plausible, I could see him being let go, simply because of how a promising season slipped away.
They might have to let him go just because he's got one year left after this and you don't keep a coach in the last year of their contract for recruiting reasons. You either fire or extend after this season, and if you extend him at 6-6, it'll feel like a Culhane move to some. I'm not sure Dunn would be thrilled by that.

RE: The official Broncos @ EMU gamethread!!!!
What happened to out 6 to 10 yard pass game, from start to finish, with an occasional 2nd down run, or long pass here and there? Why change who you are because you had a bad game, or because you are playing what you perceive to be a team that does not match up with you? I guarantee EMU was concerned about our pass game, and was delighted with our play calling today.
I am sure EMU deserves credit for defending the pass well, but we dont have a run game, and it was always clear we were not going to have one today. I realize out touchdown was on a good run, but that was, frankly, an anomaly.
And will we try, at least once this season, to go for it on fourth down on our opponent's side on the field; or a fake punt? Quit trying to play everything straight up. Teams are getting away with taking us for granted.

I'd urge everyone to stop attending the games this year, including the studens (which should be no problem at all). The administration needs to see that we want change. I'm talking EMU type crowds for ball state and Akron.
Yeah, because that's worked the last few years...
I know my tickets are a sunk cost, but I'm a poor dutchman, and I'm going.

This is probably a knee-jerk reaction from me and I'll need time to cool off, but... there's not going to be a "next game" for me to follow this year. This team collapse was one for the ages, and I'll just check the final scores on Sunday to see if we fight for a 5-7/6-6 season. I don't think I'll want to know the score after Toledo beats us 60-0.
Football season is over and done with. See you all on the basketball and hockey boards.
Ugh, yeah... at Homecoming I was talking with friends about making a road trip to the Toledo game to watch us battle them for the MAC West title after we'd beaten NIU, and... yeah... don't think I'm gonna worry about that any more.
Still hoping we can finish with a decent record but we absolutely have s**t the bed on what should've been a special season. Ugh.

Wow, just wow. Was busy all day with our son's first birthday party. Promised my wife that I wouldn't listen to the radio or check the score so I wouldn't be distracted from the festivities.
I don't know what to say other than I'm really disappointed. I thought this year would be special and now it looks like just another regular old Bronco football season. Two straight embarrassing losses, and yet again our MAC hopes are all but gone.
I don't know why I get so excited and expect so much from this program. I will always love the Broncos, it's just getting old.
