Young team with a good coach. I liked how they battled vs us in game one. (I’m standing in for Jeff MAC, since he gave them no chance)

While I'll stick with my earlier post about how bad WMU is this year, they will get it going under Coach Bates. Bronco fans are excited about this year's recruiting class, including potential Mr. Michigan Javaughn Hannah, who was offered by several P5 schools.

Hope roads are clear enough. If weather wasn't an issue, this would have the recipe for a well-deserved 10K+ crowd.
Driving down from Columbus for the game tomorrow. Roads here are pretty rough. You know the roads are bad when pizza isn't even doing delivery. Hoping by tomorrow morning things are more clear.

Athens County is now down to a level 2 so I'd fully expect the game to be on tomorrow. That said, side an country roads are still a mess.
That's essentially what Level 2 is -- main roads are at least passable, side roads are sh*t. Level 1 is basically that main roads are mostly clear, side roads mostly passable. Level 3 is all roads are sh*t.

We are a 21 point favorite. It would be nice to crush them and get the regulars more rest.

It may have been a long time since Ohio was this big if a favorite in a conference game. I don't know enough to really speculate how long though.

I agree. I'm a fan of Coach Bates. They will be getting better next year and could potentially cause problems for some teams down the stretch this season.

With Ball State's 93-83 upset of Toledo, Bobcats will play for 1st place tomorrow and can take a 1/2 game lead into Toledo on Tuesday night.

Need great energy early to take any fight out of them and be able to get extended bench minutes.

Out of curiously, anyone know how many snow plows does the City of Athens have? Athens County?
Back in the '70s the City used a roller-brush street sweeper to clear snow off the streets. It got the snow off, but it also polished the ice so it was nice and slick.
I’m cackling!

I imagine Hans Moleman from the Simpsons driving it and saying, “Nice and smooth!” as behind him multiple cars are sliding into each other.

Curious, anyone hear or see anything about basketball alumnus attending the game?

The promo is focused on the 2012 team, marking the 10 year anniversary.

Hope our guys were paying attention to the Toledo/Ball St game last night. Use that as motivation to make a statement today.

I didn’t realize we were facing the ‘98 Bulls today.

The sound has been weird on most of these ESPN3/+ games all year.

Check the sound--says Norman torched the defense for 17 first half points--am I hearing that right?

Carter establishing his dominance. Defense tightens up again. Nice assists from Sears and BVP.

You can tell Western is improving. They're going to be a problem in a couple years.

Why did Boals encourage Sears to shoot the 3 as time ran out? Did WMU coach do something to tick him off?
