Quote:Point is, it's extremely difficult to maintain a high-level of success at the G5 level, and upsets happen to everyone.

It's pretty tough at the P5 level, too. Unless you're Clemson in the ACC. :)

Ready for our game. It's one of the next ones coming up on the FBS schedule!

Just need to beat Ohio. Who cares what everyone else does in the West if we can't win ourselves?

Quote:Just need to beat Ohio. Who cares what everyone else does in the West if we can't win ourselves?

Well, we need to beat @Ohio. And @NIU, most likely. How everyone else does matters because it can determine if we win the West or not.

In a 3 or 4-way tie (WMU, CMU, Toledo, BSU) -- it'd be determined based on the record amongst each other. We'd be 3-1 or 2-1, depending on whether CMU or BSU would be in the tie. If we, say, tied with Toledo out of a 3/4 way tie, it'd be based on the MAC East records we have. Toledo obviously lost to BGSU -- so if we beat Ohio, it's great for tie-breakers. NIU isn't in the mix for the top spot in the West.

Basketball in Kalamazoo.

Yah, it sucks, but it happens w/ all programs at all schools.

Happy everyone's concerned because it means we're still playing meaningful games this late :)

A lot of wind or just cold wind? Lot of wind would certainly help us, I imagine.

Guess I should've fact checked the weather, lol, that was the reason the MAC gave for the time change

Very worried for this game, I just don’t see us winning on the road unfortunately. I feel like Ohio find their groove on offense in a desperation home game. Ohio 38- WMU 28 Hope I am wrong!

It’s gonna take the team about 10 hours to get to Athens by bus assuming they leave early today. Roads are brutal!

BITD when we played at Ohio U. we left Thursday for Saturday game.

Twitter showing them clearing snow today from Waldo playing surface for practice. Seems to indicate they are still in town.

Need to come out with intensity and swagger and play like a championship team. Full 60 minutes. When behind, fight on. When ahead, keep the pedal down. No sleepwalking. Playing for a title. Need to pay Ohio back for the 59-17 embarrassment in the zoo last year
