Quote:We beat UMass for our one win when UMass missed an extra point.

Another quibble... it's when UMass went for 2 for the win, and dropped a relatively easy pass, giving us the win. :)

True and I give that coach credit for trying for the win.

WHAT?! So a missed XP and 2 missed FGs make us lose?!

My either or pick

Either way it's lopsided

WMU w/tons of turnovers 17
CMU on a short field 35

WMU abuses them on offense 42
CMU w/no ground game 13

This seems about right.

Board that leaps to conclusions with every surprise victory (Purdue/NIU this yr and last year) 17

Fleck apologist/Fleck haters board 55

My because college football has become unpredictable prediction

CMU beats WMU on Saturday, and loses to Buffalo, BSU, UT, and EMU

WMU loses on Saturday and wins out with exception of EMU who finishes 3-9 and wins the MI MAC Trophy

We have reigning MAC COY who has top two recruiting classes EVER.

We're playing at Home.

We beat CMU last year in Mt. Dismal.

Central has a rookie head coach and 77-year old OC (as has been posted).

No way we lose this game.

Hardly see this as an easy win: Rivalry, took Syracuse whose only loss is to LSU in a competitive game, to OT, beat NIU last week, regardless of the HOW.

Yes! You all have been jinxing the hell out of us! Nobody had picked us to lose yet!

That's what 6 MAC opponents thought about the Broncos last season.

I think the GSU meltdown smell still lingers in fans' minds, and a solid win Saturday will help get that monkey off the back.

Drew nailed it when he said finishing drives is going to be key. Drive down deep into CMU territory, stall out and bonk a FG try off the crossbar, and that'll certainly boost CMU's confidence.

Quote:No way we lose this game.

I disagree. Now, since it's a rivalry at home, I'm not totally stepping away from that statement as if lightning will strike... but I would not be SHOCKED if we lost. I would be surprised, but not amazingly so. I think 1 TD is a good assessment that Vegas has.

I just hope these fine savages are kept in line by our D enough, and that our running game works decently well on them.

RTB run The Ball!!

The best predictor of our success is the fact that I have to leave by 1:30. You're welcome.

So you're calling it a game at half-time? Ballsy.

Or we're down by 17 at halftime and we end up winning by 3.

131 points: That's 18 touchdowns, a field goal and a safety for WMU.

No, it is 16 TDs (with 2 point conversions) and a field goal in the last seconds because we did not have enough time to put it into the end zone one last time.

This is CMU. No mercy.

No lie. Before you said that, I self-predicted us losing at half -- but winning later. I can easily see that occurring. Which I'd love. Along with Pooper having a comeback thwarted. And CMU fans playing what-if at the end. I am so ready. Like a freshman girl on Prom night who bolted to Waldo Stadium instead. Bring it CMU!!!! [That's not the Pepsi talking; I'm not at EMU!]
