Encouraging, but nothing to get excited about at this time.

When was the last time WMU was picked to win its division? 2007?

Receiving this kind of respect prior to the season again is nice, but it means nothing if the team can't back-it with a strong finish.

Likewise, all those recruiting ratings mean little without victories and championships to back them.

Time for the WMU football program to step-it-up.

Looking forward to a fun season!

Last year's success was the combination of running and passing success. With Braverman gone, defenses concentrating on Davis, someone else or others will emerge as another threat to DB's.
Who will it or they be???

Terrell has proven to be a poised, consistent QB. The numbers in this excerpt form the Cleveland article jumps at at the readers. Just hope that the Broncos jump out in the early season and maintain momentum throughout the year.

"...the Broncos are favored in large part due to their running game, which averaged 204.6 yards per game last season and returns intact. However, the passing attack is there if needed with senior quarterback Zach Terrell, who threw for 3,510 yards and 29 touchdowns."

Anything less than MAC championship in Year Four is going to be a major disappointment.

This shows how Western's program has grown. In the past, fans were hopeful. Now fans have expectations. Thank you Major for your support of Bronco football. We're all looking forward to football season this year.

Just parroting the company line as promoted by Fleck since the day he was hired.

Yes, Fleck is an oddity for a coach in that he articulates a desire to win and build a championship program.

Fleck came in here talking chit, now it's time to deliver on his big promises. No excuses this year. Deliver or STFU

He is shying away from the ever dutiful, vengeful Flecktard army lest he gets gets words put in his mouth, totally misunderstood by morons, and subsequently tangled up in a bs, totally frivolous and bluff, lawsuit.

You know, see "dip"?!?
