I haven't followed the team historically as long as others here... that being said, I cannot remember seeing a team gel like this one has watching these practice report videos, and based on what I've seen the last 10-12 years following the program as closely as I have. These videos are really fun to watch. Kudos to Adam Bodnar and the WMU staff, and the players for good interviews. Really enjoyed the Day 3 video and Celiscar's comments.

I do love these videos. It really gives us a view into camp and the battles that are going on between the groups... Sounds like they are all really enjoying the competitions that are brewing internally and I think that at some point we may see it boil over as we get closer to the Purdue game. These guys are going to start to get sick of hitting each other... I cant wait to see some full pad practice vid's...

Fleck and staff sure seem to make practice fun for the players:

Brown Adidas polos look good.

I agree with every point here. I would also like to add that I wish I could purchase some of the adidas gear that we have now. Hopefully the bookstore, teamstore and fanatics update soon or the Spirit shoppe adds an online option.

Love the content that is going up on the official site too. I think Bronco Insider might be worth the price this season too.

Yes, those are great. It seems like the brown colored uniforms will become the official home uniforms, and the black and gold will be mixed in every once in a while (maybe even phased out completely?). I thought when they first came out that the black uni's would be predominantly used, but it is refreshing to see them use the brown ones. They did a fantastic job with the design, and brown is not an easy color to work with.

I was curious about DDs comment no media reps can view offense v. Defense during practice.

Wondering if restrictions on viewing practice are getting even more stringent. Sounds like you can only view calisthenics and maybe some passing drills or similar. Hard to get any impressions from that.

Standing around while they get worked up with cheer leading etc. is OK but not really football.

You can watch the one on one drills. OL v DL WR v DB. Nothing schematic but its good for evaluating individual guys.

I still like the all black w/ gold trim for a night game. Like Kent State last year. Otherwise I concur the brown and white is very cool and I would like to purchase some brown and white WMU stuff.

Brown and Gold is my favorite scheme. Solid gold uniforms with brown trim and sparkly gold helmets and shoes. Brown laces on gold shoes. Gold helmet with brown stripe right down the middle. Player number on the side of the helmet. Very old school.

Yeah, the all black with gold trim uniforms are nicer than anything we've worn the past 15 years besides the new brown/white combos, in my opinion.

We'd look like a team that played in Any Given Sunday or that second tier arena league.

Do they make an annoucement asking people to leave so they can do their secret plays?

The brown shorts with the white stripe on each side are dialed in. I gotta get a pair.
