- Hit NIU in the mouth FAST. They're going to be all about the glory, Senior Day, etc. They get off to some slow starts sometimes, so we need to establish ourselves early.

- Put everyone in to stop the run. We give up 5.1 yards a rush. We need to contain Lynch & Stingley their RB.

- Forcing Lynch to pass when they're missing out on their 2 best WRs and looking forward to the MACC will be better than them soaking up clock running the ball. Think the VT game at home years ago.

- When they are starting to pass more, set everyone up to go for PICKS.

- Offense: Run the ball with Chance. Please. NIU is not grand in stopping the run.

- We need to pile up the points in the 1st half. NIU's D clamps down in the 2nd. So must ours.

- Go for it on 4th down in the red zone with < 4 yards to go. We need those.

- Execute better IN the red zone. Pin NIU back on their own 1 instead of kicking a FG.

In the end, we'll most likely lose of course. :)

But we could make it a competitive & frustrating (for NIU) first half due to making a game out of it, and NIU being out of rhythm mentally/emotionally.

That sixth point (pile up the points in the first half) had me rolling on the floor laughing.

Seriously? Pile up the points? I want some of what you're smoking, dude!

C'mon man, it's not the Todd report without percentages.

+1 I feel for my Bronco friends, they are rock bottom and still fighting for their team, hats off to you. This same feeling and dis pare was not long ago in Huskie past. NIU should and most likely destroy WMU Tuesday night, but here's to WMU football being back in the lime light!

ROCKY IV!!!!!!!!

I implore you to listen to the training montage on the rocky IV soundtrack, followed by "no easy way out" by Robert Tepper from the same soundtrack...

Yes... we can do this!!! GO BRONCOS!

Yes... I have been drinking.

"So the result's quite obvious..."
"And what results are those?"
"Whatever he hits.... he destroys."



While there may be no easy way out, it doesn't mean #6 can't find a way....

that was seriously one of the most unreal plays i've ever seen

^^^ Yeah. When watching the game, when Lynch was getting tackled back there I looked away from the TV, and was putting my coat on and started to walk out the door to leave to go back to my place. Wait what?! How was he not tackled?! Insane.

Believe in Fleck, and you tap into the power of the Dark Side. WMU will be coming out in full force.

Our first game of the season we played well against the nation's #1 D.

Our last game will be much the same. We came in with a bang... we're pulling out like we're banging!

Oh, it's time to dust this one off then, Kimbo will appreciate it.

GO BRONCOS!!!

OB1 now goes by kimbosucks!!!! My darkside makes Pjs look like kittens and butterflies.

meanwhile, the geniuses at the local school paper screwed up your school name. I thought you were the "boat rowers"?!

I know -- that's insane. There's rarely something both CMU & WMU fans can agree on -- that sucks!!

BUT -- hear me out here -- it's just foreshadowing the lack of focus NIU will have on the game. It's a trap game!

As a proud Chippewa, I am seriously contemplating a law suit against the newspaper. Central Michigan Broncos?? WTH

How can they confuse that glorious institution with the WMU Fighting Row Boats? Honestly!

I will also be filing a lawsuit citing defamation.

Western Michigan University will not stand for being associated with irrelevant community colleges from Corn Field, USA.


In all seriousness though how does a mistake like that not just get corrected immediately, but get printed and sent out? The Journalism Department in Dekalb is bush-league at best.

No one wins with Michigan-on-Michigan crime.

You're right. The editor must have been smashed already in the parking lot.

Meh. When it's all over we'll just be known as the 12th victim.

FIRST DOWN WMU!!!

Does it say Row The Boat on the back of the jerseys?

Another 1st down. Yep. My premonition is true!
