BEAT THE JASPERS!!
Btw, I wondered what a Jasper was....so I looked it up and found this link from last March where the Jaspers were named the most outdated mascot!
http://culturemap.com/newsdetail/03-23- ... t-madness/
Most Outdated Mascot: The Manhattan Jaspers. The Jaspers were named after Brother Jasper, a Christian clergyman from the 1880s who brought sports to the college. My father, who went to rival Fordham University in the Bronx, recollected that the most effective chant the Fordham student section had to shut up the Manhattan students was “What the hell is a Jasper?”
Apart from the lengthy historical explanations shouted across the court, Manhattan students had nothing.
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."
