10 things I hate about Western Michigan University

Regarding #10, I'm guilty of crashing a city league with two NFL players. They were down on the depth chart but still...
The only excuse I can offer was one of the prizes was free beer from a local brewery. Turns out millionaires still sign up for free beer. As a bonus it was the prize for the #2 team, so we had to lay down in the championship. It's really hard to stall your running game against over weight 40 year olds when you have a NFL guard pulling for you (eventually the QB was ordered to start throwing to the safety).

I hope this guy didn't pay any money to go to WMU .... it sounds like he had a pretty horrible experience ..... maybe he should have got better grades in High School and applied to UofM!

If it makes you feel any better I did apply and got turned down. I better head to the Wal-Mart.

That's some high-quality hating right there, Shred. I'll bookmark the post for the rare occasions when I want to fire-bomb my WMU friends into Bolivian.

I'd agree with the Western bashing, but I have to disagree with all the Kalamazoo bashing. But that's just one man's opinion

my girlfriend recently moved to Kalamazoo so I have been spending a lot of time down there and I have been quite impressed with how nice the city is. Of course this comes with the caveat that I am from Lansing so the bar is set pretty low.

Former Western students bashing their school... hilrious and then add on the fact that CMU kicks off tomorrow.... pure joy.

I don't think Western OR Kalamazoo is THAT bad. I've been there for about dozen games. It's a typical MAC sized school. And a 35,000ish size stadium. I like the campus. There are restaurants everywhere you look. I've never been to any bars there.
I have to like Western. It's where my parents met. If not for Western, I would have never been born.

Well if I had a top 10 things I loved about WMU your parents meeting and having you would be in the top 5.

I agree that Kalamazoo sucks. This view may or may not stem from visiting my ex-gf there 3-4 times a week for two years. She lived in the shittiest apartments I have ever come across in my life. I think they were called the Landing, on Main St near Solon. What a fucking dump that place was: cops getting called like every nite, people's shit getting broken into, just a depressing area. And that's not even the student ghetto.
One time we were visiting some of her friends who lived in the student ghetto, a block (A BLOCK) away from a party store. I wanted some beer and said I'd be right back. One of the guys who lived there said I shouldn't walk because people he knew that lived in the adjacent area have been jumped while making the two-minute walk to the store and back. I was incredulous, and walked anyway. I didn't get jumped, so I guess I was lucky.
The downtown area is pretty cool, I'll grant you that. I mean, it's no Grand Rapids (or Ann Arbor or whatever), but it's nice.

Kzoo actually has a surprisingly nice downtown scene for such a small city. A lot of good restaurants and live music

I was just there for a bachelor party and had a raucous time on the downtown scene, would totally party down there again soon if i have the chance.
