Forget "Mid-Major", MLive.com calls us a 'low major' and calls us one of the low lights as it pertains to Western Michigan (a team from the MAC, mind you) men's basketball schedule in 2010-11. Some of the quotes:
The lowlights: The Broncos also have to take flights for road games at lowmajors Towson in Baltimore (Dec. 1) and Georgia State in Atlanta (Dec. 11).
Road games at Wisconsin-Milwaukee (Nov. 23), Towson and Georgia State are the beginnings of home-and-home series for WMU, with all three programs playing in Kalamazoo next season.
Hawkins said he and his staff would have preferred to find closer opponents than Towson and Georgia State, but couldn’t secure willing partners in the Missouri Valley, Horizon or Summit leagues.

Hey I agree with him on the closer opponents shtick. There is no point in them flying down here for a game, and us flying down there next year.
