After Omar was injured last year, remember during the Kent St. game when Anthony Turner was injured and had to come out? I thought to myself, "Here comes Freddy Barnes and off goes his red shirt." To my surprise, in comes Van Johnson. I had forgotten that he had practiced as a QB. This was...

OK--this should be in the Hoops Forum. but what's done is done. Well, the Blade reports that the Board of Trustees held their Spring meeting this week and still no news, at least not yet, about the study concerning renovation of Anderson or construction of a Convocation Center. Here's some speculati...

In selecting which MAC teams go to which Bowls, the MCB and the GMAC Bowls appear to have established a good working relationship. Since some of the MCB officials, especially Director Ken Hoffman, will also be officials of the new International Bowl, I expect good working relationships among all thr...

There are a couple of developments that may be coming this week. 1-The NCAA Committee that decides on Bowl Games is meeting this week. BG and MAC fans may or may not be celebrating. Expectations are that a new BCS Bowl Game will become official for the coming season. There will be 4 BCS Bowl Games, ...

There have been verbals made during the Spring Game weekend. For example, Hartmom posted on this forum that her son verballed at that time.

Of course, that doesn't mean that the verbals will be made public.

If everything runs true to form, there will be recruits at the Spring Game and there may be some verbals. Finally, we can actually point to the Sebo Center as a selling point for future Falcon athletes. So, for those who attend the game, keep your eye out for recruits. Also, there may be some news s...

Number 1--We don't know the details of his academic situation.

Number 2--Think of a kid named Keith McCloud.

Here's what I recall (perhaps incorrectly). Fitch came to BG from some school in Montana or North Dakota. He had a successful team at BG and left after only 1 season. He left to coach Minnesota, taking with him a highly thought of recruit, a big man, that was coming to BG. Can't remember his name bu...

In a Blade article today, it states that BG has hired a firm to conduct a national search for its new AD. There are several interesting points in the article, but something that especially caught my eye was this: "Now the focus will be on fundraising and facilities expansion". I'm thinking...

Fund raising for the Sebo Center is now within $1 million of reaching its $7 million goal. On another site, the cost of the Sebo Center is listed as $8.7 million. Maybe some other funding accounts for the difference between the $7 million goal and the $8.7 million total cost. Fund raising for Athlet...

I thought the Spring signing period began the 1st Wed. in April. When does it begin?

The challenge it seems to me is to upgrade the image of BG football, and for that matter, the image of the MAC. I do think that the quality of BG football (and the MAC} has improved. But how do you get people to realize that sufficiently so that they'll want to attend games? I think that BG football...

Now that the Sebo is underway, what's next for the Doyt? I'm sure we'll see some minor renovations, but what do you think will be the next major renovation? I'm thinking it will have to be something that significantly increases revenue. The Doyt sorely needs a bigger and better press tower, but I do...

With almost each passing hour the look of the new Sebo Center becomes ever more impressive. What a showplace this will be!! I'm comparing the construction progress to the artists renderings on the main BG website and trying to get an idea of what the final product will be like both inside and out. N...

My answer to the question why Larranaga didn't fit in at BG is, to put it briefly, he was an Eastern boy. He grew up in the Bronx, played high school ball at Archbishop Malloy, and played callege ball at Providence. I believe I've got the names correct. Before coming to BG, he had been an assistant ...
