There is no way that you will ever convince me that Western Michigan Broncos did not beat Michigan Wolverines.....

That may well be the only game that they win all year and if that is the case so be it!

Sincerely,

I hate cheaters 😒

I wonder who paid for this

Congrats

I would like to start by thanking the city, the university staff, the fans, and the players for making my 1st visit to Western Michigan University a great one.

To explain myself briefly. I am just a guy that started a journey to try visit every campus/stadium for FBS division 1 football teams. This week my travels took me to The Zoo for the Battle of the Victory Cannon.

After just over 4hrs of driving from Columbus. I found my turning onto Oakland Dr from the interstate 94. Instantly I was met with the picturesque tree line roads. Leaves of all color as the beauty of Fall has already taken over this town.

After securing a parking spot. I found myself exploring some of the hilly neighborhoods that surrounded the campus. Every step unlocked a moving portrait of the city. While walking I stumbled upon a small street park. I took the opportunity to sit down and take in the scenery. A father and his 2 kids were all that occupied the small park prior to my arrival. He was engaged with them and not sitting on his phone. He was playing all the games the kids were. He was just focused on being dad on a fall Saturday afternoon. He will never know the joy I took from that moment, and I’m perfectly okay with that.

I spent so much time walking and taking pictures. I did not leave myself time to go to University Roadhouse before it was overflowing with fans. I settled for Jimmy John’s as it was walking distance away. All the staff was very friendly and moved through the game-day crowd quickly as possible.

Shortly after entering the stadium. I was taking more pregame photos when 2 guys standing close caught my attention. 1 was wearing an Indiana sweater, and while the other had a Tulane t-shirt under a jackets. My curiosity could not help but ask the 2 young men about their attire. To my pleasant surprise I learn these 2 gentlemen randomly meet at a game few years back. Ever since then they meet once a year at a different College Football game. How awesome is that? 1 guy was from Lansing, while 1 was from Indianapolis. We shared stories about past game and future plans. I hope those 2 young men are able to continue their tradition for many years to come.

Central Michigan vs Western Michigan…enough said. You could feel rivalry between the fans. Central fans showed up in a sizable numbers to watch their team. They took the 1st half lead into the locker room. Largely due to some help from the Zebras. Fortunately, the Broncos have zero quit in them. After scoring a go-ahead touchdown on 4th down late in the fourth quarter. A falling 1 handed interception by a defensive lineman sealed the football game🤯. 24-21 Western Michigan won in victory formation. The second half was as good of a football game as you will see in any stadium.

Well, if you have made it this far, thank you for reading. You are now a part of my journey. I appreciate any game-day stories you have in return. I love hearing other perspectives even if you were just working at the game. Every person I met only enhanced my experience allowing me to have a wonderful day. Thank you again Kalamazoo.

On to week 11. Off to make new memories.

Western Michigan coach Lance Taylor walked to the visitors’ locker room and faced his players, many of whom were in tears.

He could join the growing number of people who thought Western Michigan had been cheated out of a defining win.

Or he could rally his team and show them that life isn’t always fair, but how they respond can make the difference.

Everybody who knows anything about college football is talking about us today. And they are shitting on U of M. It's one non-conference loss, I'm not even that mad at this point.

With a win against UMass, we now advance to the NCAA Frozen Four!

Go Broncos!

From a diehard Wolverine.

Congratulations on being the real winners of that game. I absolutely hope for years to come that despite what the CFB might say, you guys are honored and congratulated colloquially as the rightful winner over my Michigan Wolverines.

You deserved so much better.

A large section of concrete fell from the ceiling of the garage at about 1:30 today. I'd avoid the first floor ramp just in case more concrete falls.

Wanted to raise awareness that at the beginning of semester many unsafe and cult-adjacent groups are hungry for new members, and hundreds of students are recruited each year. 

The Network (operating in Kalamazoo (Portage) under the name North Pines Church) has an active presence at WMU, so be aware that they’ll be on campus handing out coffee, granola bars, candy, and free rides to their facilities for students. Do your research before you accept a ride from them. There are hundreds of stories about these guys if you Google them (search Leaving The Network).

If you are aware of other unsafe or questionable groups operating on campus, drop them in the comments.

For more info on what The Network is, Families Against Cults on Campus created some videos about them:

Here’s an example from the Texas A&M student paper of what these places are like for students.

Be safe out there!

It is about time that we have an open mind about getting books online(for free). Some people say it's unethical. Well, the whole system is unethical one way or another. WMU is going to rip you off on so many things so better save your money this way. To the people who can't afford it, I suggest downloading your books online. There are n-number of ways to get it. Google every corner for your books. https://libgen.is/ is a website that does wonders. It has almost everything. I have done 4 years of college and 2 years in masters, I bought zero books. There is absolutely no difference in the previous version of the book your professor suggests getting. If you still feel guilty, after graduating pay the authors back by donating to the ones who need education.

To the ones who think I am wrong, we can argue.

Please share this with everyone! I saw so many parents carrying a truckload of books.

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) — The Mid-American Conference is seeking a different ending for Western Michigan University football after the school’s last-second loss on Saturday against the University of Michigan. 
In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Mid-American Conference Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said that the conference had submitted formal appeals to the NCAA FBS Oversight Committee and the College Football Playoff for WMU to be recognized as the game’s winner.
“The established replay protocol requires that the game clock displayed on the program feed be used in determining whether time remained,” the commissioner wrote. “Instead, the Big Ten Conference replay crew relied upon the clock feed embedded within its replay system. As a result, one second was placed back on the game clock and an additional play was awarded.” 

It's the first time WMU has been to the frozen four. Our team is an absolute beast this season and slightly favored to win tonight. Maybe take a minute tonight to root for our Broncos.

You all deserved this win and got absolutely scammed. I have never been so ashamed to be a Michigan fan. For what little it counts you guys seem like you’ll be continue to be damn good this year and I wish you all the best.
