Anyone just hear the comment about WMU students wearing MSU and UM shirts around campus 4 years ago and how that is rarely seen today? Now that is change I can tip my hat too given the effort that takes.

Dude--Can you smell what the Monroe is cookin'?!


WMU has some players, some excitement. Can we beat them? Possibly, but...


Can you see the contrast between moribund, boring, stale and doing the do!

Yeah, w/ Boise St. losing and a New year's Bowl staring WMU in the face, Fleck will have WMU laser-focused.

If we ever had a season like they did, it would be a madhouse in Athens.

Fair enough.

And, if we lose you'll ???

Now I am a glass half full kinda guy. I will proudly tell anyone how few students wore Bobcat apparel around campus and back home compared to 2016. I will regale the youngsters of how my roommate and me actually counted the number of people in the stands in the 2nd half of the 1986 season ending game with Northern Illinois, in which we won our only game of the season. At the conclusion of the game, there weren't enough students to tear down the goal posts, though a valiant effort was put forth.

Now we have ESPN TV coverage and title shots, complete with a trip to Ford Field and a bowl game birth. It gives me great pride to see how far we come, but looking at the Western Michigan crowd in a post Thanksgiving game compared to our paltry crowd last Tuesday (paltry might be generous,) we still have a ways to go. I dare say you will see as many people or more at a regional high school playoff game with a traditional power like Cincy St. Xavier, Cleveland St. Ignatius, or Columbus St. Francis DeSales. The Western Michigan game day ESPN crowd last week and their crowd this week gives us something for which to strive.

It's a poor comparison. Our game was on a Tuesday night. Friday night games would always out draw Tuesdays. We've done well with football attendance. The midweek games kill attendance all around the MAC.

..I'll continue to support the team and school in many ways, much like I have the three previous times when we've played for the MACC and lost. The big difference is, your agenda/platform (and an unbelievable number of redundant posts) are based on the idea that OHIO is grossly underachieving and that we can't win the MACC with this staff, so when we do, you'll look rather foolish. It makes me wonder if you really do want us to win...since it flies in the face of about 5,298 of your posts.
