Western Michigan University Athletics

The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics, with the help of Bill Brown (Class of 1953) and donations from Bronco football alumni, unveiled a Head Football Coaches Tribute Wall during a ceremony held at 6 p.m. on Sept. 11, one hour prior to the kick off the home season opener against Nicholls State.

This project is the brainchild of Brown, who not only was a member of the WMU football team under head coach John Gill, but has also been a lifelong supporter of Western Michigan Athletics and the Bronco footall program. The Bill Brown Alumni Football Center will now also be the home of the Head Football Coaches Tribute Wall, to be located in the third floor atrium. Together with the Brown family, WMU Athletics have commissioned an artist to create the piece. The artwork will be surrounded by a plaque depicting the head shots of every member of the current football staff, a plaque with a message from the artist, a dedication plaque with a message regarding what it means to be a coach and a donor plaque.

Through the first two weeks of the 2010 men’s soccer season, Western Michigan is the national team leader in total goals scored. The Broncos have scored 16 goals in five games, which betters their goal production from the entire 2008 season and equals that of the 2006 season.

Western Michigan (4-1-0) is off to its best start since the 2003 MAC Championship season. Only five other times in school history has WMU won four of its first five games. Click here for more...
