look at their track record. No winning record going back to 99, facts are facts. Moreover, WMU has underachieved. Notice, I was very careful not to criticize EMU, good folks, bad situation.

I admire their fans who back them. I always hope that somehow things turn around 180 and they get some traction.

This nonconference schedule would not be brutal for an above-average MAC team. For a program with just two non-conference FBS wins this century, though, that's another matter. To your credit, one of those wins was over Army two years ago (the other was Louisiana-Lafayette in 2005). Not rooting against you - I hope you win not just one, but a couple of them. I just don't see it.

"Army is Army"... but EMU is EMU.

Eastern could have a real gem in Reggie Bell. If, he develops like we all hope, he could be a real threat for coming seasons.
As far as recruiting goes we have several three star recruits, and even not having the best recruiting class in the MAC, we should do okay this year. It really depends on how any recruit is developed beyond their skill set.
We just hope Eastern is competitive next year with our in-State rivals.

Ken Barna, your comment on our board have been classy! I really felt sorry for your team last Saturday, I think they knew 12 seconds into the game that they had no chance. I have been a Bronco fan for 40 years,I have never seen our team come out with the "fire" we had last week. At 5:32 in the first
quarter we we're up 21-0, that and the weather would make a lot of teams give up. Your QB Bell when he runs is scary, hope he develops for you.
