When we were winning championships several years back, I bragged about it to anyone who would listen.
Serious question, have you EVER bragged about the Michigan MAC trophy to anyone? Anyone at all?
Thanks.
p.s. it's evident this one believes the Texans are better than the Bengals and that the 49ers are better than the Vikings...you know, because a small sample size provides more evidence than a large one.
And have you ever bragged about your team finishing 3rd or 4th in its division to anyone? Anyone at all? Didn't think so.
The Cannon Trophy and Michigan MAC Trophy may be seen in Kalamazoo, not Mount Pleasant.
41-39.
lol
Oh, I bragged about finishing third in the MAC West this year? Imma need a link, brah. Now, tell us all again how proud you are of having that Michigan MAC trophy in an otherwise lonely trophy case.
Thanks.
Bottom-line, the trophy(ies) represent the best MAC team in Michigan based on head-to-head competition.
They are in Kalamazoo, not Mount Pleasant.
No bragging, just facts.
I am very proud of the 8+ minute drive WMU engineered in October to beat CMU. I am also proud of the fact our coach decided not to run-up the score when the ball was inside the 1-yard-line as the game ended. CMU's defense was gassed, weak and at Fleck's mercy.
Did I mention it was an 8+ minute drive?
Come to Kalamazoo, see the trophies, have a Bell's and relive that memory.
What trophy will CMU get for a 3rd or 4th place finish?
It's very interesting that you mention trophies when trying to deride Central Michigan Football.
You do realize that they have seven Mid-American Championship trophies, right?
You do realize that they have three bowl championship trophies, right?
Just let that sink in before you get all cocky about a couple of traveling trophies that change hands every year or two. We could lose both the Cannon Trophy and the Michigan MAC Trophy next season...MAC Championships and bowl wins last forever.
This goes down as possibly the dumbest post ever on this board. Probably by a CMU grad, (Chiprule, known for exaggerations, gratuitous distortions and flat-out lies).
I started this thread with the intention of finding something positive about WMU's season after a disappointing, irritating loss.
Beating CMU for the 2nd consecutive year, winning the Cannon Trophy, and, ultimately, the Michigan MAC trophy is that bright spot.
Bragging? No. It was posted on THIS board, a WMU board. Preaching to the supposed choir. Had I gone to a CMU board, or a neutral board, then, yes, it would be bragging.
And the post is about the present, THIS YEAR, not the past.
None of CMU's current players, and maybe only one coach (Mose Rison) were part of those 7 MAC Championships mentioned. They are as irrelevant to the current CMU team as the Detroit's Lion's 1957 championship is to this year's team, or EMU's 1987 Championship is to this year's team.
When Dave Heeke cleaned house of all of the Jones assistants to bring-in the Enos crowd, CMU football lost its championship connection. That said, hiring Bonamego was a smart decision and it will be interesting to see how he changes his coaching staff now that he has time to evaluate and make new hires.
And to the fool who said WMU's win against CMU was "lucky." Well, that is the 2nd dumbest post ever on this board.
While it is better to be lucky than good, that luck cuts both ways when thinking about WMU's early mishaps that kept the game from being a laughable runway.
And there is NOTHING lucky about an 8+minute drive late in a game to secure a victory.
Clearly, the better team won that game and that, so far, is the bright spot in an otherwise disappointing Bronco football season.
Hopefully, a win over Toledo and a subsequent bowl victory will shine brighter at season's end.
Go Broncos! Go Hurons - BEAT CMU!
