Friday afternoon, the women's track team will be taking on the Rockets up in Toledo. Field events begin at 3:00pm, running events at 5:00. Meet management has assured me that the competition will happen even if the track is covered in snow on Friday morning. Free entry, but bring your parka and a bu...

I was a student from the fall of '89 to the spring of '94, but I was on the cross country team and didn't have much time to attend games. After that I started a teaching job and coached cross country, again eating up my Saturdays. 1990 was the last year of the Ankney era, and the lone star player wa...

NIU's probable surprise bowl appearance would pay off $3 million. After subtracting their expenses and dividing twelve ways, we're looking at something north of $200k. That's not even a drop in the bucket for a Big Ten team but might be the entire annual budget of any of a number of sports at BG. Bu...

Beat 'em for the fourth year in a row. Even while holding back a bit it was the biggest BG victory in this series since the 90s.

BGSU hasn't lost to UT since this T&F rivalry was renewed in 2013 . The great thing about college dual meets is that they're made for fans. If y...

I'd love to see an expanded playoff and the death of the bowl system for one simple reason: money. MAC teams tend to lose money when they go to a bowl (they can never sell out their required ticket allotment and the once they can sell aren't at the price they paid for them). Bowls are designed to ma...

I don't like that trophy. At all. I'm very involved in BG track & field (among other things, I'm the announcer for all home meets) and I've been trying to come up with some kind of trophy for the annual dual meet. The classic ones all have some kind of history or meaning and it's hard to create ...

The track team goes for a third straight win against Bancroft High tomorrow afternoon. Field events begin at 3:30 (including All-American hammer thrower Brooke Pleger), running events begin at 5:00, last event at 7:00. I believe it's free entry; the track up north is located between the a Glass Bowl...
