THE CANNON STAYS IN KZOO. NEVER IN DOUBT

(There was quite a bit of doubt)

Do you guys get a trophy for beating all of the Michigan teams? Or would you have to play State too?

We have the Beehive Boot if you can beat BYU and Utah State in one year.

This was the battle for the victory cannon, just a one off vs CMU.

WMU, CMU, and EMU play for the Michigan MAC trophy which western has won 3 years in a row

There is a 3-way trophy between the MAC schools that Western currently hold

All the doubt just made the cannon feel heavier on the ride back, that’s all.

Those final 2(0) (x2) minutes had me about ready to go to the MAC offices and force them to fire that entire ref crew.

Sitting in the stadium through all those replays when they were not showing any of them on the scoreboard was painful.

Looked at the score and thought it was close. Then saw it was 21-0 going into the 4th....

I’m shocked it ended at 21-14. Central wasn’t doing anything last I checked.

Unfortunately, the way Michigan has been playing lately would have given terrible credibility to western Michigan’s win
