Regarding #10, I'm guilty of crashing a city league with two NFL players.  They were down on the depth chart but still...

The only excuse I can offer was one of the prizes was free beer from a local brewery.  Turns out millionaires still sign up for free beer.  As a bonus it was the prize for the #2 team, so we had to lay down in the championship.  It's really hard to stall your running game against over weight 40 year olds when you have a NFL guard pulling for you (eventually the QB was ordered to start throwing to the safety).

I hope this guy didn't pay any money to go to WMU .... it sounds like he had a pretty horrible experience ..... maybe he should have got better grades in High School and applied to UofM!

I'd agree with the Western bashing, but I have to disagree with all the Kalamazoo bashing.  But that's just one man's opinion

Former Western students bashing their school... hilrious and then add on the fact that CMU kicks off tomorrow.... pure joy.

I don't think Western OR Kalamazoo is THAT bad.  I've been there for about dozen games.  It's a typical MAC sized school. And a 35,000ish size stadium.  I like the campus.  There are restaurants everywhere you look.  I've never been to any bars there. 

I have to like Western.  It's where my parents met.  If not for Western, I would have never been born. 

I agree that Kalamazoo sucks.  This view may or may not stem from visiting my ex-gf there 3-4 times a week for two years.  She lived in the shittiest apartments I have ever come across in my life.  I think they were called the Landing, on Main St near Solon.  What a fucking dump that place was: cops getting called like every nite, people's shit getting broken into, just a depressing area.  And that's not even the student ghetto.

One time we were visiting some of her friends who lived in the student ghetto, a block (A BLOCK) away from a party store.  I wanted some beer and said I'd be right back.  One of the guys who lived there said I shouldn't walk because people he knew that lived in the adjacent area have been jumped while making the two-minute walk to the store and back.  I was incredulous, and walked anyway.  I didn't get jumped, so I guess I was lucky.

The downtown area is pretty cool, I'll grant you that.  I mean, it's no Grand Rapids (or Ann Arbor or whatever), but it's nice.

Kzoo actually has a surprisingly nice downtown scene for such a small city. A lot of good restaurants and live music
