Nope, but I would raise an eyebrow if they said the large was bigger than the medium and the medium was bigger than the large. And if there were some sort of message board dedicated to fast food foods and beverages, and a particular thread about the drinks, I might question it, hoping somebody would...

Really? You guys don't care? Of course it's speculation, but that's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. So are pre-season rankings, the point spread on a game, weather predictions. Still important and I would still question if the weatherman said: "Tuesday is going to be REALLY rainy com...

Thanks for the overview. I was looking over the summary for each school and something jumped out to me - According to these summaries, all schools had between good and outstanding successes in recruiting compared to their counterparts. How is that possible? You think somebody would have to have a po...

I know what you mean but football is our bread and butter. Hockey is second, and I don't care what anyone says here, football will bring in the revenue to this University! Hockey can bring revenue, but not like football will! Basketball hasn't done anything at least in the years I attended the U. T...

Re: What has happened to our vertical passing game????

I just cannot understand why we seem so content on throwing towards the boundary time and time again this year, relying on bubble screens and screen passes by trying to spring our receivers, as opposed to the way we used to simply carve up teams with Josh Harris and Omar Jacobs with a lot of quick ...

I've been to many games, but have never tailgated (outside the dorms). My brother (He's a MU grad) and I (BG '04 and '06) are heading up tonight and tailgating starting tomorrow. How does the tailgating work? Is there a certain part of the parking lot that is reserved for tailgating? Also - forgive ...

38-34
Minnesota is 1-0 against MAC teams. They pulled out a narrow win against NIU yesterday.

But yes, the close win should shake 'em up.

My prediction:
BG wins - 34-27

Thank You Falcons

Seriously, one of the best games I have ever seen - helluva lot of fun. I'm so glad I made the trip up.

I think it might have taken 10 years off my life, but it very likely was worth it.

GO FALCONS!!

I assume that's sarcasm. Compared to many other rural universities, the town/gown relationship at BG is pretty good and Mayor John Quinn is, on the whole, very intentional about building positive relationships with the University and its students. There are some "townies" that hold some an...

Another Option... if you don't want to buy the entire gameplan ($129)for the season, you can just order it for the week($22) to watch it online.

3.5 years seems like a really great deal for Clarett considering he was still in pre-trial for the two counts of aggravated robbery and 5 other counts that could add up to 25 years if convicted. That's not counting the ridiculous amount of laws he violated with the August incident. On second thought...

the point for me is not whether he would have gotten drafted higher next year. It's that he missed out on having fun playing another year of college ball and getting his degree. It's sad that he gave that up for nothing. I think a college education is a wonderful thing and I'm certainly not dispara...
