The day kicks of at 9:00AM on The Sangren Pedestrian Mall. Be there as early as 2-3 hours before hand wearing brown & gold to show your bronco pride to they nation as they Row The Boat against Buffalo at 3:30PM at Waldo.

To all of you from Kalamazoo, I'm sure you have heard that THE ESPN College GameDay will be in Kalamazoo this Saturday November 19 for the Western Michigan football game versus University of Buffalo. For the football fanatics, out there, you know how big of a deal this is. In fact, it's only the second time they have been to a MAC game and the first time ever at a WMU game. For those of you who may not be as football friendly, College GameDay is a pre-game show that lasts three hours and is hosted by some of college football's best and most well known at the site of one of the day's biggest games.

This opportunity has been earned by the 10-0 start for the broncos, their best ever, featuring wins against Big Ten teams Illinois and Northwestern. Since being announced Sunday morning, social media has been buzzing and the atmosphere in and around Western Michigan has changed and I can't wait to see how it will continue to improve and continue as we get closer to game day. If you are from or in the Kalamazoo are, a bronco alum, a student or a football fan in general, I encourage you to get to Waldo early and stay for the game. Be part of the experience, this is an extremely rare opportunity for this university that has NEVER been done before and I don't think you will want to miss it. This day is not only for the team, but the entire university, community, city, MAC conference and so much more.

I don't know how many of you grew up around this sport, but pretty much every saturday morning during the season, my mornings were opened with college gameday, following breakfast, while we went about cleaning the room, doing laundry, working on homework, etc. It sounds insignificant, but I am so excited and proud of the program for putting in all the work to earn this kind of experience for our whole area and getting to be a part of this legendary broadcast. Get out to support these guys who worked so hard thus far and will continue to ROW and grow as they finish the season.
