WESTERN BEAT CENTRAL!!!

On Saturday September 17, 2011, Western Michigan University (WMU) beat Central Michigan University (CMU) with a score of 44-14. In case you didn’t know, WMU and CMU have the biggest rivalry in the Mid American Conference (MAC), well at least to us. As a proud Alumni of Western, this game was special to my heart. WMU had not won against CMU since 2005.  There were 26 juniors and seniors who had NEVER beaten CMU.  This year my Alma Mater, Western Michigan University came out strong and stayed strong all four quarters. 

The game was played in front of 26, 674 people in Waldo Stadium, home of the Western Michigan Broncos. Scoring 3 touchdowns in the 1^st quarter WMU was very confident that this game was in the bag. CMU could not respond to the WMU defense nor stop the WMU offense. Western was up 24-0 at halftime (how and when CMU scored is not important)

Western’s WR Jordan White finished the game with 13 receptions and WR Robert Arnheim with 5 receptions and an AMAZING one handed catch!! Other Broncos with big games were;  #John Potter,  #23 Aaron Winchester,  #30 Dervon Wallace, and #3 Johnnie Simon.

To the seniors that FINALLY beat CMU, I AM SO PROUD OF YOU!! In your last season you were able to not only beat, but also DESTROY Central.  This win brought a new since of pride and confidence to Western Michigan University.

Dervon Wallace, and Anthony Parker are two of the seniors who played on Saturday. Wallace had a wonderful game on special teams and advanced WMU many times on punt returns. Anthony Parker is a force to be reckoned with on O line.  I could not be more proud of these two. I have watched them grow not only on the field but also from boys to men.

The next two games are difficult ones but the BRONCOS can do anything!!! Illnios and UConn are both in big conferences, that are said to be “better” then the MAC,  don’t count us out just yet.

And just in case you did not know; Fight on, fight on for Western, 
Take the ball, make a score, win the game, 
Onward for the brown and gold, 
Push 'em back, push 'em back, 
Bring us fame! 

Fight on, fight on for Western, 
Over one, over all we will reign, 
Fight, Broncos, fight, 
Fight with all your might, 
Western win this game!
