@RajLakra From a WMU alum. You didnt play poorly, were actually pretty good. Also had months to prep for UM. I want you to win, bc it continues to make Westerns case for a CFP
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp We, arent the same, is the point. Not meant to sling arrows, but, we actually DO compete against them, and do beat them. Expectations are different in Kalamazoo than they are in Muncie starting about 10yrs ago. May be a losing equation, but I thank for alma matar for it.
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp WMU, like Toledo and NIU, arent necessarily following the trajectory of other MAC programs either. Rooting for a ball st is comparatively different. We actually are trying to do the D1 thing, specifically in the past 15yrs.
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp When Ball St, and UM play, who are you rooting for? Maybe because you all arent crossing over into other sports like we do, that's the reason. I live in CA, and am flying back to Waldo to watch is beat Michigans ass in hockey
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp we compete at D1 level in all sports, same as them. Beyond living the life in Kzoo, going to sporting events, alums also gave their money. UM game is case in point. The amt of "bounce" we get, comes at UMs expense. May boot them from playoff, dont know how ur rooting for two D1s.
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp P4 literally has the same teams yearly making CFP. Tell me who in their own conference, beats them? But then the claim is, we'll the G6 cant beat them, Hell, their own conference cant either.
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp Lot of Walmart wolverines, lol. Hardly a miracle to beat B1G, but vs system, money, resources, media, coach poaching/player stealing stacked against G6. It isnt bc they're "empirically" better. If WMU moved to B1G, easily middle of the pack yearly. 24team playoff levels alot.
@WMUChiefOfProp Was a UM fan when I was younger, ended up going to WMU, and at that point Fandom died, and hate for everything UM/MSU/ND ensued. Used to call it a Bermuda triangle. Hockey and now football are putting us on a map in sports...the university has always been a great value.
@TJHarper98@TimothySteere@WMUChiefOfProp Actually we are...we do compete in FBS, same as them for football, in hockey, were the reigning national champs(one year removed), best men's soccer program in the state currently...I could go on, but itd interfere w what you were spoonfed from childhood.
