- One prediction from MAC Report Online, and Central fans won't like it: Western 35, Central 31. But let's face the facts: This game is close enough to go either way, so really, any close pick is a good one.
- Hugh Bernreuter of the Saginaw News reports that senior tackle Greg Wojt learned very quickly about the nature of the rivalry. "In a game like this, people always give a little bit extra," he says. "The hits are always a little bit harder. Everybody's pushing a little bit more."
- This year's Central/Western game is an excellent opportunity for some of the team's leaders to teach the larger number of youth on the team, according to the Kalamazoo Gazette.
- An early prognosis of the Central/Western rivalry game as per the MAC Report Online.
- "On the Mark" of the Bleacher Report says WMU, at 6-1, is not getting enough credit from pollsters. It also calls the MAC West one of the best races in the nation with Ball State and CMU also vying for the division title. Each team is 3-0 or better in the conference. It's good to see it getting some attention, considering so many pundits consider this conference the armpit of the Football Bowl Subdivision.
- The Central/Western week is bringing in some light-hearted paranoia for Western players and coaches, according to the Kalamazoo Gazette.
Everything is coming together quite nicely for the Friday Sports edition, so make sure you pick up a copy of CM Life tomorrow or Saturday. Or at least read it online if you're out of the area.
I'm going to do another edition of Burning Questions, I think, before the game and will feature the NCAA 09 pick. The game is now 4-1 after correctly picking CMU over Temple last weekend, and as far as I know, WMU has better ratings than CMU. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
