Re: Western Michigan: Preseason 2009-10

Geez, you think you feel bad, how about us WMU fans. I mean UofM loss was understandable, no one in their right mind expected them to be THAT good. But Indiana was just plain embarrassing with the drive killing bad passes and then a red zone fumble on what could have been the winning scoring drive with under 2 minutes to go.

Yeah, losing to IU was pretty said, but it happens. Hiller hasn't looked too sharp yet. Good luck the rest of the year, guys. Hopefully Hiller & Co. turn it around during conference play. Glad you're not on the schedule this year :P

Good luck to the hockey team too :/

Thanks.

We're now finding out that Hiller isn't yet 100% after his ACL surgery last January. That combined with the fact that our secondary is really young and inexperienced and you have the makings of a season that'll be a bit rougher then we had all hoped for.

Yeah, I saw that. Tough, since the MAC West is so much better than us. Hopefully Hiller recovers soon.

My fantasy hockey league is now full.

Those of you in the league, remember to edit your pre-draft rankings to give your self the best chance possible at getting the players you want.

I'll set the auto-draft to go early next week.

I'm here. Any hope? For anything?

Max Campbell puts up 35 goals while Riley posts a 1.5 GAA and .970 SV%? Connauton returns by disguising himself as Peter Kavaya? Trevor Elias is the next Great One?

Re: Western Michigan: Preseason 2009-10

It's been a long time since there has been an active WMU thread on here. I hope I'm not the only one left around here, I hate talking to myself.

What are your expectations?

Season predictions?

Alumni news?

Culhane getting fired rumors?

I started a new series on my blog today previewing the freshman class. Luke Witkowski was the first one up.

I find it so hard to believe how much things have changed. For decades I couldn't wait for the season to start. I dug up everything that I could on the new players and what the returnees had done over the summer. I screamed, I yelled. I collapsed when the Broncos lost and and I flew when they won. But over the last couple years I've gone from "Who cares" to "Oh no, not yet another crappy season of Bronco hockey". I really hope this is my last year. The ECHL looks inviting. I'm hoping Kalamazoo's new team will prove an interesting alternative to the college team that cannot compete in it's own league.

I like the way you think. Sadly they have the worst head coach in all of hockey in their way right now.

I have once again endeavored to do a ranking of the CCHA recruiting classes.

Very sad news.

My best wishes to Erickson. Prayers are with him, his family, and friends.

Looking forward to a visit from the Broncos to kick off our 2009-10 home slate. Any of y'all coming to Huntsville?
