Religion isn't my cup of tea. There's usually not much use in arguing with people about it, as a non-believer I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority. I certainly don't dislike anyone based solely on their beliefs, even if I disagree. And I'm not speaking about one particular faith, I decided a while ag...

It will stick. The MAC is entitled to a certain amount of games on ESPNU each season, i.e. Ohio @ EMU at 11 a.m. last Saturday, and ESPN had the choice of either Toledo @ BG or EMU vs. NIU for that time slot. They chose our game, probably because Toledo is 18-2 but at least it's the Stroh on nationa...

Television exposore and its attendant role in getting games on TV requires an actual audience to begin with. How many people are sitting in front of their TV sets Saturday afternoon watching UMass football in the Boston Market (the region, not the restaurant)? We don't have our own TV network. We d...

It drives me crazy that we have to lose a traditional rivalry because the MAC has to be a halfway house for UMass. Exactly what benefit is UMass providing the MAC? They certainly aren't helping strength of schedule or the league's standing opposite C-USA, Mt. West, etc. I'm not sure why the MAC hist...

Losing to a team as crappy as EMU wouldn't be meaningless, standings or not. Win the game, go to Buffalo, create a great moment for the school in an NFL stadium. Play for a championship, go to a bowl.

Well, according to USA Today, we're 20 spots better than MSU and only slightly worse than Texas. USA Today Updated Rankings With all due respect to USA Today and the impossible task of accurately ranking all 125 teams, Indiana is 10 spots below us on that list and we lost to them by 32. If we're tr...

If fans have become apathetic it's their problem, not the university's. BGSU can't change their mindset with an add or a deal. It's a shame if you (the "royal" you, not anyone in particular) take living in or close to BG for granted. A great cure for your apathy would be to move far enough...

Also, after a long lead up to the game at least we were treated to a competitive game against a good team. Can't imagine how UCLA fans feel right now...yikes! Not a good taste to head into the offseason with.

It was awesome to finally see BG play in a bowl game in person. I thought the Military Bowl was a great host - have lived not too far away from D.C. for a while and it's a great city. Only wish the BG-esque weather turned into a BG win but ah well. I'm not much for moral victories at all, but no sha...

Michigan State would not agree to a game at BGSU if the semester was in session (no students). Kinda cheap that big bad MSU felt they had to dictate the terms of the one true non-conference road game they play every 10 years or so, but that was a sticking point. To be fair Izzo takes his team on th...

Anyone out of state still waiting for tickets? I ordered mine online and called anyway to check, and they said they would mail them. Just need them before the holidays, may have to follow up again.

Games like this (MSU) should not need marketing techniques like the one they used - 3 games. I don't think you get it. The demand for this game will drive sales for games not as in demand. AKA, a great idea. Go Falcons...it's going to be fun seeing Tom Izzo and MSU in our arena before a national au...

People complain the athletic department doesn't do enough to help attendance, then they complain when the athletic department uses a big event to help attendance. Makes sense.

Is everyone picking up their tickets, both for the game, and the alumni function, from will call? I thought there would be an option to mail; my paranoia makes me want them in my hand even if I can pick them up, but the only option when I ordered them on the BG site was for will call. That's fine, j...
