Dear University Community,

On behalf of the BGSU Men's Basketball Program, I would like to thank all
students, faculty and staff for their support this year. On Saturday, Jan. 22, we
faced the Toledo Rockets in one of our toughest games of the year. In front of
a capacity crowd of 4,707, we overcame a first-half deficit of 17 points in the
second half behind the support of you, our fans. Your enthusiasm and
excitement that day made Anderson Arena, the "House that Roars," truly roar.
Without your support that night we would not have been able to come back
and win.

Currently we are 12-5 overall (7-1 at home). We have six home games
remaining against the toughest opponents in the conference. Our remaining
schedule is as follows:

BGSU vs. AKRON - THIS THURSDAY at 7 p.m.
BGSU vs. OHIO - Monday, Feb. 7, at 8 p.m.
BGSU vs. BALL STATE - Wednesday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m.
ESPN BRACKET BUSTER - Saturday, Feb. 19, TBD
BGSU vs. MIAMI (OH) - Sunday, Feb. 27, at noon
BGSU vs. CENTRAL MICHIGAN - Saturday, March 5 at 2 p.m.

Your presence as our sixth man is vital to our success. We feed off the
energy and excitement that you bring to Anderson Arena each game. We will
need your support in making our remaining home games a packed house. If
you
have a friend who has not experienced Falcon Basketball this year, please
bring them to one of the games listed above. Once again, thank you for your
support and I look forward to seeing you at Anderson Arena the, "House that
Roars!"

Sincerely,
Dan Dakich
Men's Basketball Coach

Always nice to see this. I really do hope the crowds are big the rest of the way out.

The way this letter started out I thought that it was going to be gentle reminder not to rush the floor "too hard:wink: " or something. . .

I thought Anderson Arena was the seventh man the way it is so loud, and the animals and fans were the 7th because of their intimidation?
