It will be interesting to see if WMU gives us any competition gettying Michigan players with their new coach.  With Cubit at least in recent years he was virtually no competition in that regard, with only half of the Michigan players on the roster that CMU has

I think WMU will try. When they hired the new coach they said they would focus on a 6 hour radius. The FL experiment with Cubit didn't yield any MAC championships.

I think MSU has had more Ohio players than Michigan players since Dantonio started.  After all he is an Ohio guy.

Tyler Vantubbergan is from MI, and he torched you folks for 4 TD's if I remember.  Justin Currie, Dan O'Neill, and Fred Bishop are from MI, and they all made All MAC.  It's not about quantity it's quality.  If Enos wants to own MI let him.  What has it got you so far?  12 wins in 3 years.  Kendrick Roberts out of Flint was the most prized non BCS MI WR recruit a couple years back.  You offered as did several others.  He's 4th on the depth chart buried behind 2 freshmen from FL.  Jamie Wilson, Belle Glades, FL was named to the All American freshmen team at WR.  So who really gives a crap about whether they're from MI.  Enos is currently going after a 215 pound DE from Sparta.  Do you honestly believe that's the best he can find at this stage of the game?  A week in Florida and he'd find a half dozen legit DI defensive ends.

I love the attempt to take shots at our program while it's down, but down for us is still better than the Broncos.


While it's true you had a great run under Fever and BK, this so called "winning culture" you want to portray hardly stands up to the facts.

You've had 10 winning seasons in the last 20 years.  Hardly what I would call amazing.  Miami's had 13, Western's had 13, BG 13, and UT has had 17.

Come on ChipDip.  Use your real name and keep counting all of the MAC championship trophies on display at WMU.
