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

In regards to that picture: Yikes.

Might be more Bronco fans at their place when we play them.

Who knows when that pic was taken tho.

Bad weather before our game too and attendance was great.

The problem is that to keep his job, he has to beat us. We are their season. [/i]

I totally agree -- Bono will put everything he has into this game. We need to stomp them out again like we did in 2016.

That was so much fun :)

Loved seeing the Chip fans clear out of their own stadium while thousands of Bronco fans partied.

I watched that game in the middle of the night in Italy. So good.

The game was on Cbssports.net TV..That picture was from the start of the game and it didn't get any better, game or attendance wise.

I don't wish CMU any success on the football field. But "dumb coach" is a little harsh. They did beat us last year after all. A thing that I hope doesn't repeat this year.

I agree. We can't overlook them and need to play as if it's for a MAC Championship.

Holy ****, I thought you guys were joking!

Also looks like they're going to add to the 'shed' portion of their stadium:

I was there. Great atmosphere! The entire end zone was Bronco fans.

While I enjoy any instance where CMU loses on the field, I can't say the same for empty stadiums. No matter who it is in our conference.

I want to see all MAC schools have a more engaged fan base. It can only make our games - and especially our rivalry - more fun. Rivals or not, I have more respect for true CMU fans than those who ditched their alma mater for the UM/MSU/ND bandwagon.

Especially hate to see students turn their backs on a program and their classmates.

Agree 100%

That 2016 game was as raucous a crowd as I’ve seen. I think the atmosphere pregame was as good if not better than most m at Waldo in terms of feistiness.

It was cool to stomp them out early
