College GameDay made its first-ever stop in Kalamazoo on Saturday to the home of Western Michigan.

With snow swirling, we got to see some pretty great signs, including what may seem like an obscure reference ("Row the Boat" signs were everywhere). We're here to help you in our weekly roundup of the best fans had to offer.

11. Okay

10. Mmmhmmm

9. Better

8. Or this

7. Hey, remember Zima?

6. Can't unsee

5. Get it?

4. Because they play at Waldo Stadium

3. Row!

2. Another boat reference

1. Keep rowing

Okay, so what's with all the "row the boat" references to Western Michigan and head coach P.J, Fleck? It's his big catchphrase. From MLive.com:

"Row The Boat is a method of how our whole program will fit together," Fleck said. "It's also a saying that has such a simple meaning, but there's so much behind it in terms of a way for the whole community, the whole faculty, administration, players and student body can rally behind something greater than itself.

"I had 'Row the Boat' a long time ago, but I never brought it out. It's very simple when you break it down. There are three parts to rowing the boat. There is the oar, which is the energy behind rowing the boat. There is boat, which is the actual sacrifice, either our team or the administration or the boosters or the audience or whoever is willing to sacrifice for this program. There is also the compass. Every single person that comes in contact with our football program, fans or not, they are all going for one common goal and that is success."

BONUS: A beautiful tribute to the late John Saunders, who played hockey at WMU.
