Western Michigan University

At the end of the game,

you had Michigan and Western Michigan.

You had BYU and Notre Dame.

With putting a second back on the clock, not putting a second back on the clock, I know there's going to be some pretty – pretty serious conversations in the offseason about timing rules in college football and do you go to a tenth of a second on the game clock, which I certainly don't agree with.

I did a lot of flipping through games this weekend, but didn't watch a ton of specifically one or the other, especially Saturday, Sunday, because I was up north, so my connection was a little iffy to the stream sometimes.

But Michigan played Western Michigan in one game.

Everyone was talking about how ironic it was that Michigan wins on a literal buzzer beater.

I think it was .6 seconds or something.

For sure.

So that was interesting.

Western Michigan then played in an exhibition game, I believe it was, against Wisconsin, which is a little rando.

But 4-0, Wisconsin wins.

Just because I saw Whitmer this weekend, Jamon Holmes up there is a running back at Whitmer that is a name that we need to keep an eye on.

He's committed to Western Michigan, but it's not like we haven't tried to take a Mac back any time recently before.

I saw Xavier Owens from Massillon, Washington in the Kent McKinley-Massillon game again.

He is a big bull.

In football, I'm seeing some of the weird...

Look, you saw it week one in college football when Western Michigan beat Michigan.

They reviewed the play.

They saw that the touchdowns shouldn't have counted.

These are big college towns.

University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Western Michigan University.

You know, Abdul El-Sayed needs big turnout from these places.

Now, it'll probably take a while to count those votes because we do have same day voter registration here.

And Benak was drafted 102nd overall in the 2025 draft.

This year with Western Michigan, he's got seven points in five games at 19 years old.

The only kicker is he is 5'7 and 160 pounds.

So a smaller forward, but, you know, Detroit just gave 60 plus million dollars to a five foot nine winger.

If you're spending time not coaching your team, it's probably because you're not spending enough time observing the team.

So instead of rowing the boat with them, row the boat, Western Michigan grad here, I want you to turn around and face them.

Watch them.

Listen to them.

45-38.

That would be Toledo beating Western Michigan.

Fun back and forth game, too.

Yeah.

I think the big 10 is a different animal.

I think that, you know, at the same time, they didn't have success against Western Michigan.

You know, UTEP is the only team they've really had a good offensive performance against.

And that UTEP team has given up 40, 50 points weekly to, you know, fellow Mountain West opponents.
