Would that be "victory poaching?"

It is not my intention to do away with government. It is rather to make it work - work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back. Government can and must provide opportunity, not smother it; foster productivity, not stifle it. ~Ronald Reagan

Here's a little history lesson for you!

Present-day Bowling Green received its name in 1834 from an early postal carrier, Joseph Gordon, who previously lived and worked in Bowling Green, Kentucky. The current downtown commercial center originated in 1846 when L. C. Locke purchased land (today's 139 S. Main St.) to establish his home and a store, and he also built the area's first factory, an ashery. Other merchants opened establishments nearby to create the early business district. In 1855 the settlement was officially incorporated as a village; John C. Wooster was elected its first mayor in 1856. In the Division 1-1870's the community received the sought-after designation of county seat for Wood County after a prolonged battle with neighboring Perrysburg. With the dawn of the 20th Century Bowling Green officially received city status in 1901.

So, this makes it even more sensible to continue this series and, who knows, maybe a good OOC rivalry will arise! By the way, the team from the "real" BG 28 the imposters 21! :-D

I'm still a bit peeved we didn't send an invite to WKU when they declared their intention to move up to the FBS.
