After an eventful ride down that included a monsoon, a gas station that looked like it came from the set of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and a surly Kalamazoo Sheriff - We have arrived at Waldo Satdium.
Some quick notes with an hour before game time:
* This is the first time ever that a Big Ten team will play at Western Michigan. This is why Coach Lynch expects it to be a "hornets nest"
* Three Western Michigan players earned Mid-American Conference player of the week for week 1. Wide Receiver Jamarko Simmons for offense, Linebacker Austin Pritchard for defense, and Punter Jim Laney for special teams. HOWEVER, Pritchard is not listed in the starting lineup, I will post once I know for sure if he's playing or not.
*IDS Columnist Matt Dollinger is turning 21 at the stroke of midnight, but still will provide us with his stellar input. Let's just hope after the game he doesn't end up looking like this guy.
